Bad luck! Best wishes to you mate. We are about the same age (me 63 this year), I retired 6 years ago and recommend it to all. Sure I've tightened my belt a little but when offered a good job recently I ran a mile. Nothing better than staying home on Saturday and Sunday and riding from Monday to...

Spot on Jimmy, today was the first time in months that I left home with a jacket on. I'm not an ATGATT kind of bloke but I sure feel a little safer with gloves and jacket. Autumn (fall) is a great time to ride.

My sticker had the same problem when I saw that photo. :lick:

It's a world wide problem. The same people send the same replies as soon as we list bikes and cars for sale in Australia and we don't have Craigslist. I delete all replies regardless in the first 24 hours.

RETIRE! I retired when I was 56 and am now 62. I made one mistake, I could have retired at 55, one year of my life wasted at work, bummer.

Thanks for posting, I got a great laugh from your joke.

What is "Raydar"? Is it anything to do with 'Radar"?

Interesting idea, I'm not sure if you are pulling my chain or not. :chin: Mixing some classic Triumph design with a Thai flavour could just work, you're a genius.:worthy:

Nice, I'd be thinking about some chunky upside down forks, only for the looks as you have done the valves already. I'd also like an old style Triumph logo on the tank sides.

That all encompassing tool (screwdriver X 2, flashlight and spirit-level) that you accidentally left at my place some time ago has been sitting and waiting for a pick up, it's now going into the bin. Naaah, you're good with me even if you do speak German, I just won't mention the war.

Well mate after our phone conversation an hour or two ago I went to the garage and worked on my new project for a while then decided to come in for lunch and have a look at NBR. Who was on top of the list of unread posts but you. So it's good luck to you and we will have lunch and a beer as...

Lots of things, I'll ring you now.

IMHO, no such thing as a nice-looking Royal Enfield, but nice-looking 68 Triumph.

You know what they say, More than a mouth full is a waste.

Half way down this page is a chart of countries and casualties for the Great War, it casts a question over your Belgian statement. Not making light of the NZ sacrifice, it actually shows that 46% of total NZ mobilized became casualties. Then when it was all over came Spanish Influenza that...

My grandfather was captured by the Germans at the battle of Fromelles on 19th July 1916. In that one 24 hour period 5,533 Australian soldiers were killed, wounded or taken prisoner. All Australian solders in the Great War were volunteers, he didn't get back to Australia until 1920. He said...

For me any tat on a girl is a turn off, other than that she's HOT.

It's very easy to fit the oil delivery and oil return lines in reverse on those. When you do they do one of two things, nip up the pistons or do in the bigend. Don't ask me how I know! All that I'm saying about that is when I was a kid I didn't know as much as I thought I did.:eeek:

And the Bonnie makes you really appreciate the good things about the FZ1.

Is Greenville a national capital of some country? Sounds like "Hicksville" to me, on the other hand I come from a country full of hicks.:)

You're riding on the wrong side of the road and why is the grass all white? :)

I wasn't going to comment when you posted the photo presumably taken after that first start up and now with very blue pipes. For them to blue up so quickly, I'd say even the static timing is a mile off. I've rebuilt old bikes and fitted electronic systems, followed the instructions for static...
