@ Morticia - yep, guilty. We were on our way to Challow on the hunt for some E32/E34 BMW 7 series/ 5 series parts, plus some bits for various Rover 800s! A successful day, too. E32 730i in the yard...

Not been on in quite some time now, lacking a bike I find myself also lacking motivation to visit various biking fora, and I apologise for that.

Found quite a few of you this afternoon - anyone on...

BINGO! I've been looking for something to stop the dog (and to a lesser degree, us as we walk to the shed for firewood) churning up the patch of grass out the back of the garage and making it just a...

Stuck behind a f**k off great big green Landy with a trailer carrying a flame red Rover on the back of it!

'Tis my new project, a holey 420 GSi Turbo, which I'm going to restore.

Dunno if it...

The one on the Marlborough side makes a bit of sense, aye. There's not all that much in the way of warning that there's a big roundabotut ahead coming from that way, so anything that makes people...

Ah. Yes, with you now, BB. Imma blame that one on about four litres of cider. :-[

As for the BMW and the shelter, aren't they missing the point somewhat and putting it on the wrong road?

'The Pub'?

Surely, not the Bell at Overton?

Or wait, do you mean at the end of Marlb High Street?

Never to my knowledge. Even though the race horses cross a couple of hundred yards up from the roundabout, and there's a turning to the right a couple of hundred yards further yet. I've never even...

Just thought I'd pop a small warning up on the site.

A few weeks back, it would seem the council decided to do something daft and IMO, downright stupid.

As you come off Beckhampton Roundabout,...

I don't think it's closed, but I think it is one way atm.

lol.

That's weird.

Two conversations about naked photo shoots at the same time.

I'm not thinking it's a terrific start, as a law firm, that the first thing I read on their site was misspelled.

:-?

Might be worth now merging topics, mods?

The junction is give way, iirc, it's a crossroads.

F**k Rich but those pics look grim. It's one thing to hear it from you, and another to see that. Jesus.

It sounds very much like the van is at...

Just got off the phone with Rich_1988, who's currently slurring a little on painkillers.

Turns out last night he was riding up Herd St. in Marlborough, when a van pulled out on him. He's got a...

Hm. Not just me who's into this then.

Here's the obligatory photo whore's sample of some of the stuff I've taken.

Are private messages still working for everyone, or is it just me being ignored?

Stu, I sent you a PM about bike rental, and Dabz, I was expecting one, about putting my stuff in the garage prior...

lol!

Aye, my logic was that I'm now going to be using the bike as the commuter anyway, so something a bit more ergonomically laid out, and less cramped-supersports would be a good idea.

TBH,...

The torque did surprise me, lots of it.

Brakes will most likely be immediately upgraded anyway, as most of the running gear from the 400 will swap onto it

Why crap suspension?

So, my 400 might be cracked block and terminal.

I've been doing some quotes, and it turns out that insurance is actually cheaper for (amongst other things) a ZZR 600 than it is for a ZXR 400....

!8:40, Overton Hill.

Wazzat you, Al?

Correction - Quiet Roads covered in stupid car-window-mounted England Flags.

lol

Rich may sadly be right - I may not have put the cam cap dowel back in, so I need to whip the cam cover off to have a look - it's rather like wondering if you've left the oven on, only you've...

So. Today I finally got the ZXR back on the road. It's been in my garage since last September, laid up, unwashed, untouched, unloved but missed like hell.

On Wednesday, myself and one of my...

Today at, oh, er... probably about twenty to seven, just coming off Beckhampton Roundabout, I saw a ZXR 400, with green nosecone and fairings, clashing with red tail fairings.

I've also seen it in...
