I fitted a new rear on my old (now my son's) GSA a few weeks ago and the rear just fell on. Loads of lube and a bit of speed and no levers required. In saying that was pretty exceptional as usually it needs a wee prise with a lever to get the last bit on but in this case with a warm tyre and...

Miserable old bugger. Andy and I had some great European adventures around the Netherlands and Germany. I hadn't heard from him for a few years but always meant to catch up. Too late now.

That's good. The ABS and traction control wasn't so good that you were invincible but there were some noticeable differences between my two visits. There was quite a rocky decent and the first time we went we were told to put it in first and engine brake down the hill checking our speed on the...

Yup. LM for most things. Moly where pressures are high such as bevel drives, CV and universal joints. Copaslip on fasteners and red rubber near rubber boots such as calliper dust seals where petroleum based greases make the rubber go baggy. LM is my goto for 90% of things though

I've been a couple of times on the 1200s and I can highly recommend it. The instruction is really good and they are pretty good at streaming people into the right class for them as some people don't seem to be very good at self assessing their own skill. Lovely people and good day out and the...

I loved my GS. 60 odd thousand on it and still going strong. I just parted with it a month or so back as it simply wasn't getting used as I was only doing local stuff and one of the old bikes was more interesting to ride (and slower) and always provoked a bit of a conversation when I parked it up.

Ahoy hoy! Good to have you back. I was back 5 mins before you

I suspect a full sized BBQ strapped to the back of Geoff Francis' fireblade in Germany would come a close second

Or lack thereof on my bike and Edinburgh is full of cobbles and the old bikes are the only thing I have that can enter the low emission zone in the City

The XR went a few years ago. I did my back in weighing a (very heavy) puppy of all things and it took months to recover and since then it's been like glass. Between that and the mate I used to go off roading with disappearing of to live in Australia it simply wasn't being used. I did think...

Made famous by the TV series Hamish Macbeth. Lovely wee place and in the arse end of nowhere

Quite possibly. Same age as the old soup spiller and just as leaky :cool:

I recognise many of the old guard and it's nice to see a few new names also. The AJS is my old bike. My newer "fast" bike is the old R45 I rebuilt back in the days of old XRV. All the ones with yellow number plates have gone now, the GSA being the last of them and it went last month. I'm...

Not taken today but this is my current daily driver for when I don't need to be anywhere in a hurry. Give us a wave if you see me.

It is indeed
