Salt, ice, shitty roads, vanity & a general fear of 170bhp on the UK winter roads. Also, when summers comes... -- Nige, BMW K1200S Range Rover Vogue
It's not about which way it works, it's about the precision of throttle movement and the resulting effect at the rear wheel. You patronising tit.
Does it, **** me! Why ride a mega fast hyperbike in winter for the sake of it? I also ride for ease of getting to work & back. In summer it's fun on a 170bhp bike, in winter it really isnt. For the sake of a grands worth of bike i can sell easy afer winter, does it make much of a cumsplash on a tarts arse? Something to look forward to? -- Nige, BMW K1200S Range Rover Vogue
Mike Buckley posted one on behalf of a mate of his. And I can vouch for buying Bandits from Mike. The one he sold my brother was excellent.
This one: http://www.flarefox.com/Nordwest/Nordie_black.jpg 1992 Nordwest but not registered in the UK until 1998 AFAIK actually an inductive ignition model. Must carry out final diagnostic checks before listing on ebay. No tank panels. Weird speedo. No idea of actual mileage. Sprayed tastefully by the previous owner in matt black - including the seat! He did, however, get a new petrol tank and standard Teikei carb set fitted. It was running, Mot'd and taxed when I acquired it in Feb 2008. Arrows stainless can - MoT testers will usual pass these apparently, but I could swap for an OEM silencer and flog the Arrows on ebay. The ignition switch is dodgy and something odd seems to have been bodged by the starter relay. I bust the clutch lever handlebar clamp when it rolled off the side stand. Bob Wright has these in stock apparently. Form an orderly queue behind Simon. If genuinely interested email me for a price. Much cheapness, as is. If you want it ready to roll with an MoT, I suppose I could arrange that before the salt hits the roads, but the price would then have to reflect the cost of a lever clamp and something to recompense my valuable time in sorting it out! This would be a basic, rideable bike, perfect for not worrying about. Ideal for backing it in to roundabouts in the slush. The tyres have plenty of tread. For an 8 mile commute it would be fine. They aren't as slow as you might think and I once got one to Milan and back without breaking down. Have you ever ridden one? You would have to come to darkest Wolvo' to fetch it, but IIRC you have survived a visit once without a visa. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest * 2 Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +----------------------------------------------------------------+

I seemed to upset one of those (a tart) recently when I told her that standing up wouldn't make her a tall tart. Why I'll never know, because she was already a well known tart. What, like boating? -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
Neither. Just bored at being stalked by a very predictable stupid ****. Just do us a favour and FOAD. The 400/4 is for sale, long MOT, good runner, if Nige does not want it someone else probably will.
Its not that bad, I have tidied it up and given it a nice MOT. OTOH, at 33 years old it is more that good enough to be ridden but not good enough to irestored and preserved as a shiney! classic.
Stupid then. What a charming chap you are wishing death on me. It hardly meets the 'commuting heap' critera.
Ooops - I threw that rattle at the wrong Ac^Wperson. The real target was one message down the thread and I hit the wrong one. Peace ?
