I am selling my private registration number H98 BKE. This is a highly
desirable number and would look nice on a suitably expensive motorbike.
This is currently on a car, but can be transferred onto a motorcycle or other
vehicle dating from 1991 onwards.

I have a '80 DT250MX which has an electrical problem (no sparks) and I am
pretty sure it is the CDI unit.  According to my parts book the number for
the CDI is IM2-85540-20 and checking on the spiffing Yamaha US web site

I have a 1979  Suzuki GS1000E project bike.  I bought it 4 years ago, rode
it
happily for 2 years and have stored it for the last couple of years in the
garage.  I have started to completely rebuild it, but I need some advice on

Anyone know where the short lengths of tubing on the LHS of No's 2 and
4 carbs are meant to go?

Bikes in desperate need of TLC...
Would be grateful for any recommendations of where to send the beasts

Ive got an old GS550 free for spares for anyone who wants to pick it up and
a C reg GSXR 750 which has been off the road a while, so no mot or tax, and

more info, e mail me for more info. I can send pics etc ...

Better start stockpiling parts, lads...

And passes it on ...
Agreed to give him a tug to get his 'new' Honda from York to London (I Live
in Doncaster).  Next day Landrover exhaust fell off, hey ho, got a new one
and fitted OK.  On Saturday I drove Timo from Doncaster to York, returned

Well the time is right for me to sell-on my RD250A - I enjoyed tinkering
with it and riding it until I got the Fazer... but now it just sits
quietly in the corner with just  the occasional polish! Before sticking
it on ebay I thought I'd see if anyone here is interested....

Phoned up today to find out which of the parts I wanted/needed for the
Motosport were actually available.
Most of the parts were in stock - didn't surprise me, given that they were
listed on their website - but they managed to supply even the somewhat

...without TOG!

Seeing as it's quiet - here's a fairly on topic question.
While the engine is out of my RD I've taken the opportunity to pull the
front forks off and fit the new springs I got last year. Amazingly the
forks still had air pressure, but on removing the spring and tipping out

Basket case LC: what's it worth?
Pretty much complete, not a runner[1], another complete rolling chassis
with very blown engine for spares. V5 for both frames. A FOAF wants to
take it all off my hands to restore & I'm a bit stumped at what to ask
