I notice the prices for classic bikes on ebay seems to be getting ridiculous (but none actually seem to be selling) I was wondering are my bikes actually worth more than I think, or are there lots of deamers out there?

Wow, did you keep any of the original cub?

All the GG manuals I have all recommend 66:1 (1.5%) I wouldn't go any leaner than 50:1 and I've never had a problem with GG I run my air cooled bikes at 40:1 (or more) and never had a problem

no need to change them unless there is a problem, they should last years (if you keep your air-filter clean & oiled)

Quite straight forward to change, they do tend to go on off-road bikes as do all the other chassis bearings (Wheel, suspension ect...) Its worth buying good quality bearings from a bearing supplier (and also saves a few quid)!

I think you need to start messing, I’ve got a gasser and a few twinshocks and the gasser is better by far!

Never put the beamish on the back only my gasgas, which around 70kgs same as the nose weight of the towbar/car so I’m only the weight of the rack overweight Saw a corsa sunday with a rack fitted, they only have a 50kg nose weight!

Unfortunately the police have not been very helpful when we have had attempted burglary ‘s (which is 10+ attempted and 2 burglary's) It does make you angry when someone tries to steel / steels items that you have worked hard to pay for.. So please accept my apologies, the criticism was unintended

This isn’t bad as that’s what they were fetching in 2010! I paid £1100 for a mint 2004 gasgas in 2010 and thought I paid over the odds!

How many people actually use bike racks & on what cars?

When you have polished it give it a coat of clear lacquer. They make modern rims from 7075 alloy and it corrodes quickly

Make sure you have the correct pre-load spacers in the forks, they should be quite long I use NJB rear shocks on my beamish

I’ve used a bike rack for quite a few years, without any problems (and I’ve done quite a few miles) on various cars and small vans But I’ve now started to worry about the weight on the back and the law I know there is a nose weight for vehicles but I was always under the impression that this was for the towing & stability of a trailer? I’m currently using the wife’s Rover 25 which pulls the bike nicely but only has a nose weight of 70Kgs! (which is more than some big cars)

thank you, now ordered

Does anyone know the best (cheapest) place to purchase a set of rear spokes & nipples for a 04 TXT pro? Mine have rusted solid, broke 6 stripping the wheel!

I’ve had a DC rack for some time, it works perfect. But the welding isn’t brilliant!

Motocross on a Vincent? You would need a fat chequebook

Fingerprints and DNA…. do you live in the real world! The last time I called the police for an attempted bike theft all I got was a crime number for the insurance!?!?!?!

CCTV, total waste of time! What do you do with the video of your bike being stolen? Better spending your money on an alarm , chains and ground anchor

They are no better or worse than any other small drum-brake, time spent setting it up correctly will pay off!

I think the Chinese made ones are modified TS185 pistons Best bantam mods are Suzuki piston & centre-fire head (Todd head or similar)

4 speed bantams D14's & B175's have been used in pre65 from the start, have a look at some of the old pictures posted! (And most had Suzuki pistons fitted)

Its not worth it, the cases are different. It would be better to find a 4 speed engine
