Whats the width of your shed ?

about x3 triple cylinder bikes wide or x2 in line fours

I've got the same issue - big shed and nae power. I hadn't thought about the LED/12v battery route, where did you source your lights from (too lazy to do the leg work myself). You could also use solar to charge the car battery - I charge my bike battery's from a 12v solar charger from Maplins (I put the panel on the roof of my shed) same solution would charge your car battery and save you from humphing the battery in and out.

Lucky man, RD was my dream bike when it came out and the NS looks great

The MOT man , he say "Yes"..



Last time I went out on it, on a brief ride a few weeks back, it wasnt running that well, a little bit reluctantly I popped some fresh fuel in it after the MOT and bugger me, it was flying, hitting 120 with no bother, not sure whether its because the fuel I had in it was a bit old(but the 350 ran fine on it) or I hadn't put enough in it(only a few litres I think) I dont know but it has a great kick to it as the PVs open and is revving out beautifully, sounds bloody marvelous too.

Hooked up with my NS400 owning mate and had a had a thrash about for most of the afternoon, getting off on each others 2 T fumes! Very chuffed and relieved.

Had a day to myself so took a spin out on the bike today, first time since coming back from over the pond. Freshly fitted the Ti Leo Vince decat and silcencer. It's safe to say that without the bung in it's unbearable and sounds a bit pants at low revs but full chat it's biblical.

I've put the bung in for now, i'll see how that goes.







Rode over to Althorp house, then to Pitsford, then to AMG high performance engines (just for a nosey), then to Richer Sounds in Leicester (appointment) then to Triumph factory for a nosey again, then home to Rugby. ~100 miles and I'm deaf!

Beautiful weather too, great start to Spring.

Just from eBay. I thought about a solar trickle charger but someone would steal it or worse think there is something worth stealing in there.

Did you stick a power commander on there? I've only got an IXIL tip, but I fitted a PCV and it's loads better with the flat spots removed and the fuelling corrected

This morning I was cleaning the bike and servicing my boys mx bike ready for the weekend when my 21 month old daughter started pulling on my jeans saying 'toot toot' which means toothbrush and pointing to my bike

It took me a couple seconds to realise what she'd done

Can anyone see the problem?

It's going to be exhausting getting that out...

Im sure you'd just brush it off

Getting into this now... surely one good jump on the kicks tartar will sort that out.

Kick tarter? Surely that'll jam.

I don't think RSV's have kick starters.

Wow, nice collection!

[Gypsum Fantastic]

Took the day off work to get the bike checked over and run some errands. First day back on the bike for a while due to a knee injury and I couldn't have got much luckier with the weather. It feels good to be back on two wheels!
