So the free coffee and cookies made the price feel okay ???? Did you get a fastening screw you can undo by hand, or just the run of the mill ones?

They were waiting on stock of the hand-screw jobbies. So I figured, take the normal one and free coffee, then go back for the hand-screw jobbie and free coffee... ????????♂️ IceCreamMan and Hairy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been looking at the hand fastening options, but I think I am just going to convince my neighbour to turn me out a brass one on the lathe.

IceCreamMan Posted November 3, 2021 Share With my Harley I have never had to pay for a screw. That said 70 ront could be cheap depending on the quality of said screw. Edited November 3, 2021 by IceCreamMan RoddieJ and Hairy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted November 3, 2021 Share 1 hour ago, IceCreamMan said: In that vein, see Harley’s effect so here is a question ... when you go looking at bikes at dealers do you ask to sit on the bikes first, or do you just go sit on them. I always ask, just feels right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always ask, just feels right. Good question. Unless there is a sign on it I will sit on bikes. But I very rarely do sit on show bikes. Think the only one I have ever sat on is the sportster S at my local Harley. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_Smith Posted November 4, 2021 Share Got a Kappa Universal Screen for the bike - work wonders! Now I can comfortably sit at 120kph+ without the wind pushing me around.

Nice article here: https://motoridersuniverse.com/news/1255087-this-aprilia-rs250-is-the-perfect-combo-of-lightweight-and-insane.html I was reading yesterday about a locally made 2 stroke on the market for 34k..Langen or something like that..only 100 to be made. wish I had the coin. I also keep my eye out for RS250s. One day one day. Nothing beats a 2 stroke. Love mine. https://langenmotorcycles.co.uk/ Edited November 4, 2021 by IceCreamMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
