plus having had to work on one many years ago something with valves with heads smaller than 5c pieces & stems only 2.5-3mm thick doesn't bode well for longevity either. the engineering is nice in a mechanical way but no my cup of tea, have had a shitload more fun on 250 2ts in the past. Had to nurse HOT back to chch after a KB ride to Jackson's a few years back when every other bugger pissed off and she was on her sons CBR250 and it struggled

I remember that ride. HOT's son's one was an 88 Hurricane iirc? I think we had strong winds on the way home? That is never fun on a small bike.

And I'm pleased to say I can actually do proper wheelies.

First sign of an amateur wheelie, leaning right forward.

Something like that, it's Sam's bike in the background by the tree with the number 12 on it in the piccy (that was a wee run we went on up to Coleridge just after she got the duke & deviant esq had got his ZX6). Helen wanted me to mentor Sam. The Jackson's Pub run was when everyone was drooling at Lil'M's bum in leathers

and Burnie (Skyrider) ran out of fuel on the Cali

Maybe mildly optimistic, but more the point, does anybody recognise the rider from super bikes? he has a fairly handy looking style.

Ridden a lot of two strokes by the look of it. Unfortunately two fingers over the back brake does not equal two fingers over the clutch. I guess old habits die hard.

What fucks me off with peoples adverts is listing accessories they have purchased and then the price. It's the price that annoys me - I don;t give a fuck what you spent, if I like the bling it may make it more attractive to me to contact you, but no way you are getting any of that coin spent back.

And adding the cost of tyres - FFS - just state new tyres.

Can't place the face - but judging by the ad's style, that could well be the seller's dad....
