Road legal at last

Yup, the Monkey Bike (aka the Money Bike, because I estimate it's
swallowed about ukp800 in its purchase and restoration) sailed through
its MoT to the amusement of my local dealer who hadn't MoT'd anything
quite as primitive for a while.

But just as he'd finished a bloke turned up on a BSA A10 for his
MoT.....

Anyway, it runs a treat, is nice and quiet now I've set the camchain,
and I've had an indicated 45mph out of it, at which velocity life gets
interesting.

I love it to bits. It's very, very silly.

 

There is a whole pack of lads round here who've got the modern copies of
those, one of whom I had a chat with the other day, and who is the owner of
the local shop that flogs them.

How much are they, I ask... £999 on the road he says.

How much if you fit the 90cc top end... reply is, they do a 125cc engine
they import separately, and the whole shooting match is just under £1500 on
the road.

Very tempting, actually :-D

Nice, congrats

How much did you offer him?

Bit like a cart on two wheels then....

Have fun.....

 

Heh. I've sorted out the F650 this weekend. Tax, MOT, new rear tyre
and chain and sprocket. God it feels good.

Pix, please.

I made new collets for the CB250RS exhaust headers today. Fabricated
them myself out of a chunk of old Renault 21 exhaust pipe. Dead proud of
them I am. I think I feel better for doing that than the bike does.

Riding one when your 6'5" is very, very, very, silly and amusing in equal
measure. Next on my list i think.

Sillier is possible. I was talking to the guy in Charnwood Sidecars
this afternoon, who was telling me about the time he put a scooter
sidecar on a Dax. Apparently it worked a treat - to the extent that he
did it to another one...

I've just started riding the bandit again properly (no time between getting
it back and sodding off on a business trip for a week) and have to say not
only is it a bit friskier than it used to be, courtesy of a proper service,
but the front wheel doesn't seem to want to stay on the ground.

In short, it rocks

 

Aye. They do. Caught up with the UKRM backlog then?

 

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk works wonders.
