Classic Motorcycle Website

www.classicbike.net

Testimonial: the sites helped me out in more ways than I can remember.. as
well as advice from others, I've learnt in a relatively short space of time
the basic fundamentals of Triumph motorbikes and am now beginning to
understand the advanced stuff, and recognize individual components & what
they do. Cheers to all who have helped me out.. and I like to think that I'm
now able to help others.. which is what its all about. BP750, Coventry,
England.

Testimonial: The Classicbike.net forum has some genuinely nice and
knowledgeable people frequenting it from all walks of life from all corners
of the world. It has been ever so helpful to me with as a non mechanic owner
of 1950 to 80's British bikes and has an easy to use format. With heaps of
interesting information on fixing the classic or for plenty of good humored
fun, the site has become infectious.
Information available here you cannot buy. IMO the best classic bike site
one could surf in on.
If you own a classic motorcycle and a sense of humor your interest is
welcomed. Mouse, T.O.M.C.C, New Zealand.

Testimonial: A great site to learn the tricks and traps not mentioned in the
manuals.
No better place to pick the brains of some very experienced mechanics.
Learn from others' mistakes, not your own! Dave, Perth, Australia.

Testimonial: Whether you want the odd bit of info for a job....or a
step-by-step idiots guide for every nut and bolt - nothing is too much
trouble. If you cant learn it here....you cant learn it ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!
Mick S, West Yorkshire, UK.

Testimonial: This site has members than provide information ranging from a
major re-build to the proper battery for a given model.
A wealth of information coupled with wit and humor make this the best
classic British Bike forum around.
Glad I found it!!!! Sammi, Connecticut, USA.

Testimonial: I like a good few others reached the age where I could afford
(just) to purchase the Brit Bikes that I had always wanted, in short I am a
sort of born again type I suppose. With the unavoidable onset of age it pays
to get wiser. This is the place to get wiser, there are loads of helpful
people who understand if your question is not of an advanced type and are
more than willing to help on any aspect of motorcycling. There is also the
"The Bar" to throw ideas about and get feedback. All in all if you are going
to look into any site, give this one a go. Jim Whamond, Kent, UK.

Testimonial: As someone returning to biking (and consequently engineering!)
after many years of being a company car driver, and never picking up a
spanner, it was great to find a site of helpful and friendly people to
assist in fettling my '87 Bonnie.
Without this site I would have been struggling and certainly would have
been reluctant to have tacked some of the jobs that I had to.
Great levels of experience and in-depth knowledge of a wide range of bikes,
not only British, abound within the membership, and all queries for
assistance are answered very promptly and accurately.
Classicbike.net abounds with good humor and is wonderful for cheering the
spirits. All in all EXCELLENT.......! Jerry, Watford, England.

Testimonial: The site has proven to be an invaluable resource, I initially
thought a British twin would be a reasonably simple piece of machinery for
the mechanically skilled.
The principles are simple but the engineering involved is arcane to say the
least, it took me a year to sort my bike, it would have taken two years
without the generous assistance of those here.
There are people involved here who have seen all the bodges and mistakes
that may have been inflicted on a bike over 35 years of ownership by those
of varying degrees of skill and motivation.
I now have a great bike which is a pleasure to ride and maintain, a truly
practical machine after having been "de-bugged" by experts.
This past Christmas I traveled 1500 miles over a route not visited since my
youth, on a bike which I have admired since that time, life is good when you
have mates.
The social side is great also, wit and wisdom [and tolerance] are plentiful,
welcome aboard.
Richard Cummins [Tiger], Melbourne Australia

Testimonial: The best site I've ever come across, good advice loads of help
and heaps of fun reading, good pics and jokes. Perry, Holland

Testimonial: "Simply the best British bike site (and growing), bar none!"
Trumpy Jack, Sydney Australia

Testimonial: I feel I have traveled the passages of many such web sites and
the technical responses on Classicbike.net have always been prompt, and
helpful. Stuart SS, Far North Queensland, Australia

Oh do **** off Gus. You and your utterly shite website have been spammed
more times than I care to remember, and it's *STILL* crap.

the members testimonials seem to say different,
Nigey boy.......

 

So, there were no negatives, then, amongst all the testimonials? Or does
'testimonial' automatically imply positives? If not, what's the ratio?

Just asking, mate; I've no dog in this race.

Based on any posts to his site being pulled if you have a different view
(ie Jap bikes) then he probabbly pulls negative testimonials as much as he
pulls himself.

 

Well, I do have a Jap bike or two of some antiquity, but I think you've
answered my question.

Dogger, Piper......?

The general synopsis at 1300. Low north of Fair Isle 999 expected 100
miles north of Iceland 1003 by 1300 tomorrow. Atlantic low moving east
expected Fitzroy 1012 by same time. Low South Bailey 1000 expected North
Bailey 1005 by that time.

 

Not really sure. How does one tell?

Best,
doc

 

Don't know what it is other than red.

Best,

Put a pic up on a site somewhere and ask?

 

Red? Low level exhaust pipe? Sounds like a Rekord.

My mate used to have one that spat it's main bearings out of the
exhaust pipe. We couldn't work out what was hitting us when we rode
behind him. Still went like shit off a shovel though. For a 50 that
is......

See what's written on the side?

Or, failing that, wot TOG sez:

 

I finally braved the cold and went out to the shed to look at it. It says
"RallySport" on the swing arms. Funny I couldn't remember that.
