    Vintage Festival at CTMP and Local Accommodation

    Thanks All. Didn't fancy the Homeless Shelter so we managed to put a deposit on a small apartment at Pontypool road and the 115. If it was on my own I'd have the tent packed already :)

    Vintage Festival at CTMP and Local Accommodation

    Completely agree about CMR. I've ridden the CMR framed bike that Josh Hayes rode at PI and its very different from the Harris but in a very good way. The motor is further forward so it puts a little more weight on the front wheel and handles much better. Denis also redid the entire seating...

    Vintage Festival at CTMP and Local Accommodation

    Personally I love camping there, however the wife is coming :( Saturday Nights were always good with the live entertainment and a few drinks

    Vintage Festival at CTMP and Local Accommodation

    Yes. I think I can probably also run it in Open and maybe Period 3 Heavy although the tires and forks are too big. I think P3 is limited to a 160 rear and 41mm forks. I know Crussell is bringing all of his and there are a few more coming from the US. His frames are CMR which I always though...

    Vintage Festival at CTMP and Local Accommodation

    I’m not sure if this is the right section but feel free to move. I have not posted here for some time but I’m looking for some advice (Sure, the guy only posts when he wants something). I was talking to Dave Crussell from Mojo Yamaha and he mentioned that the VRRA are hosting a class for...

    Cast Iron Repair

    As above, brazing will work. I also just welded up a crack in a cast iron manifold on my truck. My Uncle was a welder at Bombardier for 35 years and advised me to.. - preheat the part with lots of heat. Heat the whole casting (if possible) to between 500-800 degrees F. I used the oven while...

    No more license stickers…

    It is intrusive through. If a cop is following you his car can flag you for having no insurance Maybe that’s a good thing

    No more license stickers…

    I personally think that this is one thing he has done that does make sense. We have a office in Amsterdam and I remember the Sales guy telling me that everything - license, insurance, ownership, road fees, etc. - is on his phone. Parking is through through ANPR. That was like 5 years ago. Cops...

    Doggy poop problem

    LOL. No kidding, However advocates for the homeless are concerned that power washing human **** off the sidewalk is embarassing for those who left it there and it victimizes and shames them... It obviously shames them much worse than ******** in public in the first place. I don't know why...

    Took a chance on some Chinese Parts...

    From what i have read i believe you are right. I think a good upgrade that’s mentioned is a set of keihin CR’s but short of finding a good used set or a lottery win I‘ll have to try to get the the standard ones jetted.

    Took a chance on some Chinese Parts...

    I bought a 1985 750 Slabby to restore (pics coming). They were always one of my favorite bikes although I never owned one back in the day. I got the frame, fork legs, swingarm and footrests Vapor Blasted and hit them with some red Scotchbrite. It came up a treat so I don’t think I’ll bother...

    Shippsy?

    Trying to get my Mother in Law set up with Shippsy account. For anyone that has used it... I assume that you just put the address they provide making sure her name and the SHP# is on there. The package then shows up at their facility in Niagara Falls, she pays any charges they may be...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    I was debating whether or not to post this here but since complete junk is now selling for around $8k it seems like someone would be better spending a little extra and buying this. Its 100% original with a solid tank. It does have a set of Toomeys which are an OK pipe but still better than...
