http://www.motoswm.co.uk/shop/ Martin has all the info, and most of the parts and is real authority on all things SWM. 125 pretty good for a 125, but 240 and 280 better and more common. One real weakness (on a badly maintained bike) is the kick start / shaft, if used when slack will damage both. Otherwise just the usual things to check on a 30 odd year old bike. Many are well maintained as they tend to attract the more discerning and intelligent buyer. The kick start can damage the clutch case if a stop is not fitted,and clutches drag as standard.

So you ride a 4 lap trial, swap bikes on alternate laps, simples.

Look at Axulsuv' s profile, it might well stand for that.

Bet you know what MILF stands for.

ONO, is similar, but not quite the same as - OVNO. Ok ?

Any pictures ?

Merely pointing out inconsistencies arise. Ridden and enjoyed The Captains and Waterside, but wouldn't compare them to Kinloch, totally different.

Carbs must be Amal, except if you've a cub, then it's ok to have a Dellorto !!

Early SWM's were about 30% more than the competition.

I've missed this happy banter.

Une petite pause.

My comment wasn't far off the mark, if your using it in competiting you would probably have the bolts well below max torque, and if your not ---- it doesn't matter anyway. Edit to say, nice looking bike.

And if a mechanical one fails .........

No beard then, Patrik ?

Just ride it !

A bit harsh, I've lost many a nights sleep worrying about exactly this conundrum !

Distorte the leg, how much force are you using ?

Why ?
