My examiner jumped out between two parked cars and waved his clipboard at me. He did not actually get directly in front of the bike. I remember I went directly from the test centre to the nearest motorbike shop and traded in my 250 for a 500. I think the end of all these lax motorcycle laws...

How about a rear rack battery to balance the weight a bit? I admit there is a certain charm in converting a classic bike, but the bit I can't get past is the brakes. I won't bother to go into all the brake arguments again here but I am not a fan of old fashioned brakes. I think if that was my...

Yeah, so when I say, "I wish I had it now" what I really mean is, "Stuff that for a game of soldiers." I could not ride a motorbike in winter now, although I used to, daily, until my mid-forties. I believe all CB250s were sleeved down from 350 for the UK market.

Nice one. I think that RE350 will be a million times easier to live with than a 1961 B40...bullet dodged IMHO

One could ride an outfit (any size engine) on a provisional licence, you did not need any passengers. I had a go on a mate's BSA A10 outfit once, I did not enjoy it. When I was 17, I walked into the Swindon Motor Co. with a deposit and rode out on a gold Honda CB250K4. It had a top speed of...

The answer's simple then. You need promoting from Esteemed Pedelecer to Chief Pedelecer so you can have the authority to be more 'persuasive' in getting forum members to do what they're bloody well told! :D

Is there no chance you could pull the connector apart and post a couple of pictures? I mean the connector Peter showed a picture of in post #6?

That white circular packing material around both ends of the axle is a very good idea. Where did you get it? Or did you just cut up some large chunks of polystyrene?

I started to watch this and about 2 minutes in Mr. Chiles appears on screen and he's having his first ride on an E-Bike. His opening comment was, "These are an absolute doddle to ride, it's just a cheat." I turned it off.

I don't know, I'm confused. I have been a member of this forum for quite a while, although I disappeared for a few years and then eventually got round to building an E-Bike and got more active again. I definitely remember dv8h was the fount of all knowledge but he seemed to get the hump with...

So, in your avatar you're the one on the left? Got it. For some reason I thought you were the bald guy in the red jacket. This is helpful, if ever I'm in Shropshire and I see a tall bloke on an E-Bike I can flag you down and ask you where I can get a new battery or if you know how I can...

Another good conversion, well done mate. It's very handy that theses bikes come with two threaded holes in the head tube isn't it? I'm amazed you got 2.15 tyres to fit in that frame, they are bigger than the tyres on my 26" mountain bike (2.10). What tyre pressures are you running?

She has her own YouTube channel about classic cars. She appears to have lost a lot of weight recently. https://www.youtube.com/@idriveaclassic/featured

Hey, leave some Carrera Disc 8s for the rest of us bro!

I'm curious why you didn't get the same battery and use the same mounting solution that you used on your own Intercity Disc 8?

It was called a Bond Minicar, a mate of mine had one for a while in the early 1970s. His had a 250cc twin cylinder Villiers engine, with the kickstart under the bonnet. These air-cooled engines were developed principally as motorcycle units and therefore had no reverse gear. However, this was...

The rear view camera is a great idea, but obviously needs improvement. I would possibly be in the market for a such a product.

It has rear disk brake mounts, very handy. One could immediately upgrade to a rear hydraulic disk brake for about £30, this would not only improve the braking performance but also save the rear rim. Upgrade the forks and front brake in the fulness of time.
