Any other motorcyclists here

[Toxic Ted]

we refer to motorcyclists as organ donors round this way, which is the main reason I never got one 🙁

Anyone with a life is an organ donor to you you tart.......

My organ is not much use to you mere mortals haha !

Yeah, think so. Met a guy last year who used to race them and he offered to come and look for beer tokens but I lost his number. Have spare set of carbs so thinking of buying new coils, points, rectifiers, carb rubbers etc and paying someone, really need to clear both garages this year.

Gave mouth to mouth to a bloke in dunoon mouth to mouth in 2010. Hit gravel and hit a lanny head on. I was pumping - bad enough his fellow rider was blowing not nice at all. Poor bloke had no chance. Helicopter paramedic let him slip away as he wasn't getting any better. Not been on or near a bike after that.

Harley`s are known round here as Hardly Ablesome`s, so big noisy and SLOW.

Have `85 GPZ900r in Blue & Silver and a `78 Z900 A4 (rough, very rough) spare engine and frame need help with the old zed though can`t work out if it the electrics or the carbs. Gonna be selling the lot this year coz I`m too old to get hurt and don`t bounce as well as I used to :wheelchair:

Please, please, please when you sell the Z900 let me have first refusal. She will go to a VERY loving home to be restored and cherished! 🙂

My current ride is:

Bloody landrovers... still could have been worse... Could have been a ssangyong musso in Bognor Regis... Imagine the questions that would have thrown up...
'What the hell was he doing there and which sicko drives a musso...'

Sadly all I can do is make light of that situation... Not nice... Not nice at all...!

Mito ??

No mate, a raptor. Like the naked styling and geared for better acceleration.

It's in a bit of a state at the moment, needs some work. Could do with getting rid to be honest.

I'm a wannabe. Got a cagiva 125 last year for a bit of summer fun. I'll upgrade eventually.

The Aprila Rs125 rival , 7 speed box? I'm an Aprilia fan. Had the rs125, raced the rs250. Now got a rs250 road bike. Oh and a Ktm 250 exc 2 smoker! Love my small cc bikes. Had the litre sports bikes but small capacity engines are where my hearts at.

Ooooh. Me likes this thread. I used to dream
Of owning a Cagiva Mito when I was younger. Looked like my dream Duke 749. Never got one one and has a CB400SF after my RS50. Would love an RS250 though. All that two stroke poke mmmmmm

 

[iain85]

Awesome, only found off-road a few years back . Would love a cr500. Seen a few amazing engine conversions for the 500 into the rs250 frame.

2strokes are soo much more exciting than the 4 strokes in my opinion. Love the noise, smell, power delivery and the fact my Aprilia has Apreciated over 100% in the last 7 years! If you after one you best be quick as I think they will be collector items within the next 10 years.

Price? Year?

2004 I think. Ideally about £900 but it's a bit of a project tbh.

The bloke who had it before me fitted the polini 165 kit and spent a lot on running gear. There's a couple of mechanical issues that need resolving too, but nowt major, starter motor being the main one. The appearance however is not the best, but it's nothing that can't be sorted with a bit of time devoted to it.

Got some spares for it, just never had time to work on it. It's a rare bike and older planets, non runners are selling for 7-800 on gumtree.
