    Very nice, prices slowly going through the roof as in Brit bikes.

    Maybe it's the right one to restore mags so no expensive wheels to rebuild:)

    Kawasaki GPZ500, the size of a 250 but with a reliable 500 twin producing 60 bhp, so they go really well.

    Good one is about £1000, I had one as a spare bike for a couple of years, I loved it, and really should have kept it. They’re a nice old school simple motorcycle.

    Nearly had a glueing disaster whilst fitting my new heated grips... the throttle side stuck whilst only half way slid on... Errmahgerd!!! After a lot of riving and muscling, I managed to get the bugger off again... meanwhile nearly supergluing my left mitt the the throttle switchgear... ferkinerrmahgerd!!!

    Carefully cleaning it all up again, I did a bit more grit paper work on the throttle body and got it fitted nicely. That was very nearly a very expensive way to fit some bargain heated grips!!!

    Red Said: "Bit late responding, but do look into Lithium battery chargers if you don't have one already.
    They require and hold a higher voltage"

    Hi Red,
    Already got one, that's why I went Lithium had a Lithium on my VFR800 and got a Noco G1100 V2

    Waiting on the fedex man to deliver my new luggage rack from Altrider. This will replace toe worthless one that comes with the Triumph solo seat. I have a Wolfman tail bag and the new addition will be much more to my liking!

    Fit a set of BC turn out pipes on. There is no way to really tell how these sound from any video I’ve made or have seen on the interwebs. Think about the meanest sounding v8 musclecar you’ve heard, and that’s about it. A really big change!

    Rode the bonneville to work, 32C AT 8 Am this morning, 45C on the way home. 40c plus forcast for the next week, Yes i ride in shorts and short sleeve shirt. Biggest fear is coming off and being trapped under the bike as the road temp is 70c.

    Well not much today, but on Saturday went for a Wee run of 150 to 160 miles and on the way home found Left Hand Pannier from a HD ! Today the owner's partner turned up to collect it ! Lucky I was out and about with my trailer attached as the pannier was about 2 1/2 foot long !! Spent Sunday doing the annual wash and polish of paint and chrome ! Found a wire loose on my air horn (fixed) and a bad connection in the Hi-Beam lamp on my chrome console . Today spent doing Upgrades on my camper trailer , as swmbo & my good self have begun planning at trip to Darwin on the America with camper on tow. About half way through setting new top/bed base up. Just lights and some storage for the dry goods(tins etc) and water tank ?? !

    Tried out my hand warmer grips this morning... though I didn’t really need too! Toasty little buggers and they look ok too!

    Back to work, so leisurely ride with new preloved gortex jacket, managed to get some shoulder and elbow protection to fit. Feels so light after living in my leather jacket. :cool: Left the pillion seat on for now, as bag fits on top

    Visited Beaulieu National Motor Museum whilst in Dorset visiting my Dad. Spotted this new entry in the bike section. Future Classic?
