Dutchy

Between the 2 Gileras, 2 Hondas, Moto Morini and MV Agusta rode some 24,000km in 2023.

40hrs work per week restrict a bit..

But some 42 days paid vacation per year helps... 

Plan to ride the same kms this year, tripto the Manx GP already decided upon.

Vultures!!!

I'll have a VFR400R please

Hello

 

I am based in London and I would like to know if you full set of body panels, which colours and how much?

Red.  RC36-2  1994-97

I will let you know if he's willing to go through the brexit hoops....

update: no shipping. 

he prefers a buyer to come see/inspect first to avoid discussion afterwards.

and shipping cost/risk too high.

I remember when I started working on it again I said to my wife that I wanted to have something that, LCD clock aside, was almost completely analog in nature.

 

it'd be nice to use something that is a world away from the digital devices we use all of the time. It seems purer and more tangible somehow. 

I see a <1950's motorcycle in your future..... 

I infected my pal last year and now he owns two...

The Dutch like dykes! 

There are/were 2 guys here...

Denmark

Sweden

🤪

Hello Bent, Dutchy's still here.

After totalling redslut in 2016, got another 4th gen a few years ago.

Wishing your op works out.

I just fart.... 🤣

It's not looking very wintery over there, is it?

Nice work! It sounds so sweet! 

So is that spring preload adjustment on the wing-nuts front and rear or is that friction damping? 

Yes, friction damping.

Front is a "forcella stampata"  like a Webb.

Rear is friction damped too, springs on either side.

Started looking like this

A prior owner cobbled it together for <125cc demo racing.

The engine in fact was >165cc.... 

The money shot

Has been awhile since posting, I was made redundant back in March after 25yrs so been enjoying some time off and my new job.

Had the valves checked and all good nil adjustment required at 30000kms. Whilst at it Coolant, oil, filter, new Iridium Plugs, clutch and brake fluids, and a good clean. All going well.

Merry Christmas to all.

Hello Pete,

Merry Xmas to you too!  

Glad to see you found a new job you enjoy.

Had to do that on mine

+1 on what the Captain said.

Even on the VF500F,  they have a different fuel tap 84-85 (with fuel pump) and 1986 (gravity fed)

The innards of the fuel tap differ too in diametre/size

Red NACA's are the best 

RIP redslut...

At least he didnae use a claymore... 🤣

Pure dead brilliant.

Where ya fah?

40+ years riding, some 15? helmets.

2 of my current 4 are due for replacement at some point next year.

A Schuberth C3 saved my bacon, T-boning an oncoming cager turning left...

Oh!

And a "vintage look"  SHOEi for the 1975 MV...

Oh baby.............

I need a cigarette now....

All helmets on the market here in NL must meet a minimum of testing criteria.

and no actual crash will be exactly as the test routine....

so they are all "safe"....

Next comes fit and comfort.

A cheap "safe" helmet may irritate you after an hour, noise, draft, rattling visor.  This is "unsafe"in my book as it takes away focus/concentration.

Then comes free disposable income and williness to spend it on a helmet or not.

why did I buy an ARAI HRC?

why did I buy an AGV tri-colore?

why did A buy another ARAI (mamola replica) and put DUCATI decals on?

You catch my drift? 

Get a pair of baby blues.....
