Only an afternoons slow fettling to put it all back together

I wish, I'm still removing broken stuff, the back end is done now, new subframe fitted so onto the front, new yokes going in today then onto the wiring where plugs have been pulled out of the harness.

Brand new forks to go in too when they get back from Harris. ( he's having the same done as I did)

Hopefully he'll stay on it when it's fixed this time, in fact I'm riding it when it's done this time just to make sure it feels exactly like mine does

It'll keep you busy, beats working for a living

New bottom yoke and stem in, also front harness for the electronic forks.

Bits to get: left hand switch gear. Clock bracket and intake. M/C resiviour and bracket.

Then bodywork. Engine cover and a load of other stuff that escapes me at the minute.

Thank fk it's Friday.

I love the fact that its got all the modern tech you can throw at it but the clutch lever and perch look like something from the 60's

Great start to the new year, as if the 1st week back at stinking work isn't bad enough I had the pleasure of opening this bks on Tuesday . On a plus note it was super fast delivery, crime committed Saturday and my notice Tuesday . Put a right dampener on my 2019 biking .

And in my old van for fk sake .

Gutted, can you take a SAC?

I hope I'm proved wrong but 74 in a 50 limit is probably too much for a course.

They don't look especially cheap to crash - not that Aky seems short of cash!

Is FE Mugello your only one booked so far?

Not for me I'm afraid ,

Thinking the same, we shall see, gonna post it off and hope it slips by the guidelines

Never noticed it before but you're right.

They don't crash well.

Yeah, only the FE Mugello one, have you booked any?

Bit of a burn up around South East London today. New Kitaco rear shock is ace.

Not yet. Apathy rules at the moment despite half of trips with NL seem to have sold out already. Eeek!

Spotted MTB on what looks like a Ducati 1299 today.



Not quite sure what he was doing with his hands either...

Such a good likeness

[V1nce Fox]

Did I mention I was donated this thing...?





It's a Honda Novio (no, I'd never heard of one either). It's proving a proper PITA to get bits for too. I've had to build the brake cables from bits of Such Maxi, Raleigh racing bike, MX 2 finger BMX levers and god knows what else. It's a total ball ache to get bits for.

But...

It started up and ran after setting points and cleaning carb, no MOT required, no tax payment required. I have no idea what the hell I'm going to do with it when I've finished it.

Did you check ebay and small ads in Holland ? They seemed to be on sale for quite a time there.

Then, of course, there might be a chance for new parts at CMS :

Always good to see a classic Honda revived again.

Also try https://www.isicar.com/ ... I got all sorts of bits from them for the VRX400, based in Japan but great service.

Have you done anything to the forks? and what's the difference to the stock shock (looking at alternative to Ohlins internals and shock)

[V1nce Fox]

Cheers chaps. It's a sub 30mph, pedal moped but for some reason it's really rewarding to work on. It's the barest bones of a motorised vehicle.
