Smooth runner there Charlie!! It'll fetch a grand all day long pal. Do you ever use plastic treatment to darken the black bits? Tidies the bike up no end and takes years off it when selling.... I use the autoglym trim polish.....works a treat and lasts ages......and you can use it on the tyre walls too! Keep safe pal, cheers......

Hi mate, great videos thank you! Just a quick question. I adjusted my floats today, before adjusted the bike would only run on choke so gathered I’d do a quick clean by removing casings & jets etc & cleaning. Since rebuilding the bike won’t start & just cranks. Would you have any idea of what could cause this ? Thanks in advance!!

It's rare, I'm wondering if you have a mix of problems. Bad spark etc. Or are you out of balance now. These rebuilds are a little complex, are you sure you put them back together properly?

I'd advise if I felt like they're not being safe or were unaware of a law they were about to break but after that it's on them what they do once they've bought it. I sold a car once to a horrible man, no MOT(failed MOT on brakes and rust), no tax(this was years ago when the tax transferred over). Stank of weed! He drove off in it so I called the police straight away and IIRC they managed to pull him over later that day. I thought about it a lot afterwards and if I should've not taken his money in the first place but he was the type of guy that probably would've kicked off and got physical, ultimately he got his comeuppance in the end though

Can't believe some people Charlie & they always find you, lol. 100% correct to educate them in a kind & friendly manner. Ideally, you should always try on a helmet prior to buying for fitment and sizing. We have all liked the look of certain helmets and styles, but they just dont fit everyone. Personally, i would rather be safe than looking cool or keeping up with my friends. I'm really looking forward to the 250 project, btw. Stay safe and ride steady 🤘

@KuroSanArts7 күн бұрын
Like I always tell people new to biking, "What price do you value your head?" It's really as simple as that! You did the right thing sending him away. Storytime now about someone very similar I met when doing my DAS years ago before the test became 2 part... This young fella had only just passed his CBT on the Saturday, didn't show at all for the Monday for initial assessment on 125's and then rocked up on Tues expecting to get on the 500's with everyone else. Instructor told him straight that he wasn't comfortable putting him through the full licence test, but would continue with him on the 125 if he wanted, which he accepted. He had to borrow a helmet and gloves (bearing in mind this was the end of January and it had snowed twice during the week already) and had no proper jacket or anything, so wobbled around freezing cold behind everyone else. He did this every day until test day, it was freezing cold and raining just enough to make it a miserable ride, but not enough for the test to be cancelled, so we had to head from Sutton to Guilford and instead of going backroads as we did during the week, we went straight onto the duals to get some practise with that. This guy turns up in a thin cotton summer jacket with a t-shirt underneath, suit trousers and slipon shoes, when I checked my mirror at one point while hammering along at 50 in freezing cold sideways rain, he was crunched up into such a small ball it looked like the bike had no-one on it! By the time we arrived at Guilford, this poor sod looked like he'd just been pulled out of a lake and was then told he was the first one out to test, watched him wobble out of the gates with the examiner behind him and went to roll a cig while waiting my turn. Before I even got a chance to light it, they were back. Apparently he stalled the bike at the junction at the end of the road and then got to a roundabout where he stalled again and then dropped the bike...twice in the middle of the road. So examiner brought him straight back and went off to calm down for 5 mins before it was my go! I did feel a bit sorry for the guy when we were riding back, especially as it just rained even harder and already being drowned, dropped the bike and failed the test spectacularly, that ride back must have been brutal. Turns out he only wanted to do the test because all his mates had bikes and he wasn't even really interested in them! I didn't care about the rain at that point, I was too elated from passing my test and knowing I had a Bandit sitting in my front garden ready to go!
