“The word shark was coined in 1549 when English sailor William Michael Griffin saw a great white swimming towards him and in sheer panic tried to scream three different swear words at the same time.”

Set up properly, everything in reasonable condition, it should be fine as standard. Spend the money on good tyres, shocks, cables, levers etc.

I clean drum brakes on any bike after every ride for best performance. Think its the only way to have them at their peak.

THIS IS AN OLD POST which I have resurrected, its the question about buffing down the springs I would appreciate comments on. Thanks

"Plodcopter" lol You'd be as well giving tbem spacehoppers.

Crime Watch ??

Yeah of little faith !

Has anybody successfully softened springs as detailed above ? I recently replaced fork springs on my B40 (standard external springs /forks) the only ones available were solo road springs, probably because no-one uses standard forks, only fiddle. These are much better, but a little stiff. The above method seems a little crude ?

Did they not solve the problems at Windscale by renaming it ?

Pivot and stop worn ?

The Japanese were not without their faults !

I was being a bit simplistic, however, stadium events are more "shop window" and even more divorced from "on any sunday" type events ?

GCR was British, I think the PWR was American.

90 kg is marked on the headstock plate, but I dont know how accurate it is, always thought Fantics were slightly lighter.

It's the people who buy the bikes you should ask, not the people who are given them ?

Thatcher wanted nuclear power, and got it, sort of. I'm not sure of the details, but she opted for gas cooled I think. 25% efficiency was about average. Coal has to be cheaper long term ?? (TBC)

Re-birth ! Still plenty of coal, environmental and politics rapidly killing it off however.

No connection other than of the same era, twin shock Fantic's are very good (was riding a 300 last sunday) I personally prefer SWM's.

Re WSC, the (failed) promises of a land fit for heroes gave birth to the unions. I, naively, expect pm's to look to long term consequences.

Correct.

Really ? SWM is supposed to be 90.
