Re: What do these speedo markings mean?

Looks like it denotes the British and European urban speed limit, and makes it easier to stay within the law.

Re: Not for the faint hearted..

The trike combines the disadvantages of a car, with the disadvantages of a bike, while enjoying the advantages of neither. Quite a neat trick. As long as this comes as a big surprise to the rider who has invested much time and money, all is well, and a short spell in prison for the crime of butcheri...

Re: San Jose fork brace: what the heck do I have?

The more rigid a brace is, the harder it is to fit exactly, without distorting the fork legs. The one you've got Tim, looks like it would be relatively easy to fit. And correspondingly easy to twist. For my B33, I made a stainless U shape to the exact radius, and made sure the holes were in the righ...

Re: Oh for the love of the RS

Great stuff lomax, I share your feelings regarding the RS, and the more I hear, the more I realise how lucky I am to have had one find me. I advertised my ex-army Armstrong, in exchange for "anything BMW, " and had only one reply. I would have been content with a good box of bits and a rol...
