Well, I had my nice little Monster, and it was newer, much less mileage, and in better condition that the 748. And I told myself, this is the bike...
Just catching up with the thread; some inspiring stories there, guys!
I have Allen screws going into captive nuts under my 748 fairings, they are a lot safer than Dzus fasteners I think. I've suffering disappearing...
As for the cataracts, that was done at a private clinic, but through the NHS. The opticians will only let you go for it when your eyes get quite...
Interesting what you say about the Monster, I had lovely Monster, an air-cooled 800, only a few thousand miles on the clock, and my ageing 748....
I'm not getting any younger, I'll be 70 in a few months. I used to do 15k a year on my 748, these days it's barely 1000. But but but... I've...
Have you taken the clutch plates out and examined the clutch basket for notchy grooves? And likewise the tangs on the plates?
I didn't think anything prior to the 749/999 had a clutch micro-switch. Surely with a well set-up dry clutch, there should be hardly any...
My old Bonnevilles used to do that! :) Simply pull the clutch in, and apply the kickstart several times! Whaddya mean, you haven't got a...
It's not just me, then! :) It's a shame there isn't a better option; even the pinlock inserts only seem to be available in 'smoke' for the X-803,...
I had an eye test quite recently, as it goes. But I have always found those green visors awful from Day 1. Sadly, it seems they don't do a black one.
Some time back, encouraged by positive reviews here, I ended my long-standing relationship with Arai and bought an X-lite. And I'm very pleased...
As a long time Alfa owner, I resemble that remark! As a young man, the two motors I really wanted, although neither was the most expensive in the...
Well I will be out on my 748 tomorrow, it still purrs along, and gives me enormous pleasure, I very much doubt that I'll ever buy another...
Indeed. I have a spare ignition key for the bike, which works, I checked, so all good there. I will treat myself to a new padlock. It' s silly I...
It absolutely is. A 'proper' one, butchers style, navy with the white vertical pinstripes. Certainly *not* a wacky, 'comedy' one. ;)
Was that a chipped key? Fortunately, none of that malarkey with the 748! But thanks for the support, guys, it's appreciated. It's the damage...
748. But, update, panic over! I have just found the keys! :D I had a sudden flash of inspiration. Of course I'd checked all my pockets, but...
and locked my bike up (outside my house) with one of those 'dog-bone' type disc locks, to which I have managed to lose the key. And I don't have a...
They are not nice bikes at best, but I'd have one for 300 quid!
