Whats The Last Thing You Bought?

I just saw this video, and it has a section in the middle describing his 'ride round the block' test - brought back memories!

 

Got to say, that was brilliant to watch. Had a Suzuki GT 250 back in the day. I always loved the RD, they say bikes today have character, I'm not so sure. The sound of the 2 stroke and the smell with Castrol R coming out the back. I wish some company made an aftershave of that smell. Brilliant memories indeed. Nice find AJ

 

Well, if it does need to happen .. least yer got a tractor to be goin' on with !

 

Ordered this for my Hyperstrada three weeks ago and it arrived today....

 

You’re right, nothing beats that 2-stroke sound and the Castrol R aroma. Imagine if they bottled that as aftershave, it’d be a hit for sure Definitely brings back some legendary bike memories.

 

A set of these for the dirt bike. Reusable, spoke mounted balance weights. The bike rims are quite narrow and of a profile that doesn't lend itself very well for the stick on weights.
The front tyre I've just fitted had no red spot or other mark I could see to aid wheel balance when fitting and the wheel ended up some way out of balance. Not as big a deal as on a 150mph road machine of course but still noticeable.
These clamp onto the nipple with a grub screw and seem a neat and relatively cheap solution. Just some brass rod, drilled and tapped of course but worth it IMO.
