Re: Selling on Facebook Marketplace - endless joy
Despite my moaning, had a message on Friday evening from someone who came and picked it up on Saturday afternoon. That's me told.
Ebay cost me £20 for the ad so I'll be back on marketplace with the bmw if I ever get it finished.

Re: Bolt ZRX1200 Restomod
Did AI write the article? Lots of words without telling us anything. Bike looks OK if a bit 90s street fighter with them yokes. Clip ons a bit out of place too.

Selling on Facebook Marketplace - endless joy

Re: I have a horrible feeling my T4 van's head gasket is toast
My 2001 1.9td ticked over 260k yesterday. Admittedly the previous owner had a recon head fitted and I've got a replacement gearbox still sat in the garden. It's the simplicity I value, no abs, airbags or ecu even got manual windows.

Re: Wet weather welding
Picked up a Clark 20 to 120 amp welder last week. Took a lot of experimenting with patches and the welder lo get the settings right but passed the mot.
Put the seam sealer on too soon and dissolved the primer. Had to bare metal it and start again, finally finished at 10pm on Wednesday in the cold ...

Re: Wet weather welding
Took advantage of the sunny weather to have a crack at the patching. My welder only goes as low as 50amps. Spent the afternoon blowing holes in wheel tubs.
Going to have to buy another lower amp welder for sheet metal.

Re: Any Bike Changes for 2026?
Need to finish the bmw project and get it sold, a bathroom disaster has loomed and money is needed. Hopefully I can get the speed triple back on the road this year.

Have seen a bloke around Tamworth that rides with his staff in a mesh backpack thing. Dog looked very happy about it.
Personally I wouldn't take my dog on the bike, don't imagine the kit available for dogs would be tested or much use in a crash. Not always predictable what the dog will want to ...
