  • Has anyone had experience with the Ducatti 'Monster' 696?

    Friends have them. Check out the moster owners club. Friendly forum and full nice people.

  • RIP Mr Spondon - Your frames were beautiful and I always wanted one.

  • Know as 'tard

  • Amazing how much Ducati £2500 will buy you on Biketrader. Shame I can't ride them/they'd actually kill me.

  • What you looking at?

    I still haven't bought a bike, despite passing my test months back, but think the same thing when I'm idly looking at them. Then I think about insurance, and how long it would last outside my flat before being stolen and stripped for bits/burnt to death in a housing estate.

  • Keep it somewhere warm and dry then.

    Alas I don't have a warm, dry, motorbike-shaped place.

  • Hey guys, does anyone here have motorcycle chain breaker? I need it for one time action asap.

    Yes! This. If something seems too good to be true and all that...

  • Well, my Triumph has gone back to BLD for a second time.
    In fitting the new gearcase cover they managed to fuck up the selector oil seal, and the thing has been pissing oil all over the garage floor at work. Must be a pint at least.

    Considering that I'm parked there with no permission I don't really want to draw too much of the wrong kind of attention

    Angle grinder. Easiest to attack.

  • It wasn't this one, but that looks like a lot of fun for a months pay

    Can get later 750 ss for similar. Fancy a monster? Make sure the belts and valve clearances have been done and not left sitting. Also make sure the needles and jets been changed as they wear and drink fuel and lacks performance.

  • I have few stuff I need to get rid of due to selling off the motorcycle;

    Almax Series III 1.5m chain and squire lock £100 great condition
    Hardie ground anchor in box £40 unused
    Nolan N33 white helmet £40 max usage is 10 times in & around London
    A ladies open face black helmet used a couple of times £40 (bought for £80)
    Oxford Stromex large cover £30
    Waterproof Motorcycle jacket £25 Good condition, comes with thermal liner
    Waterproof Motorcycle trouser £25 Good condition, also comes with thermal liner

    Buy my stuff and help me finance my BMC :D

  • Angle grinder. Easiest to attack.

    Get the right cutter and make sure the sparks aren't pointing at your trousers. They WILL catch fire.

    Fucking love angle grinders.

    Someone speaking from experience?

    Also, wear goggles.

  • Thanks for the advice. Not really helpful, but thanks.

  • Got the CBT out the way today, mighty rusty but looking forward to starting DAS on the 1st. Now time to look at VFR 400's.

  • Hey guys, does anyone here have motorcycle chain breaker?

    Kuba, what are you trying to do? (if that isn't a silly question) I've got the tools, but I use a grinder to take off the head of the rivet that's about to come out. If you are using a soft link to replace the chain, you'll need the tool for that as well. And a big hammer, or spanner, depending on the type of link you're using.

    NC30?

    Want a theory test CD with hazard perception?

  • Yeah NC30 seems the obvious choice, already done the theory thanks. Now you mention it I've also got a CD that needs flogging too.

  • Need a hand looking? Have one so know what to look for.
