"Wrinkly old man on a bandit" welcome to my world, people are not surprised, most bikes nowadays are ridden by wrinklies, they seem more surprised to see a youngster on anything other than a 125 or scooter Current state of my ratty bandit project, which may be getting swapped for a kawasaki project this weekend Ttfn Glenn

Might it be an idea to try an *arrive and drive" package, will be a way to make sure its something you want to persue, without the upfront cost of car, van, trailer etc etc Ttfn Glenn

Son has been working on his 550 katana with 750 engine Hopefully soon running and riding, then can be torn down for final fit, finish and paint My ds 185 is gradually being pulled apart Now the front wheel is out ready for a new tyre Shopping list of little bits and pieces is getting longer so progress will slow until more spending takes place Ttfn and happy new year Glenn

For those of you tired of adverts, try using "smart tube" its an apk or an app or something, have it loaded on my firestick and my phone, cuts out adverts, makes YouTube watchable

Note to self, do not use screwdriver to fit tyres Anyway, after fixing a couple of self induced punctures, the rear tyre is now on, and holding air. Needed to attack the corrosion on the rim and hub. Bring on my weapon of choice And the wheel getting the treatment Ttfn and a happy christmas Glenn

A way of making engine instal easier, lay engine on its side and lower frame over it, wrap all frame tubes to protect against scratches Looking very very nice Ttfn Glenn

Bodywork for the bandit repaired and painted Ready for stickers and clearcoat Paintwork on sons zephyr was a bit tired, so the decision was made to give it a makeover, going for a classic z900 style Part way through laying down green candy over a silver base A find on marketplace snagged a blast cabinet

I love to check in on this thread from time to time and see the fabulous machines you are all working on. I keep looking for a project but prices have gone so far north I just can't see me ever having the funds for one, especially as my "thing" is 2 stroke motorcrossers If only I had just kept one of them... As it is, now I have to live vicariously through you lot Been looking for a reasonably priced 2 stroke trail bike for ages, but prices were not reasonable, then this ds185 popped up on marketplace £750 later it was mine, the chap brings in dirt bikes from the states Ttfn Glenn
