Thanks ya oldphart. Thanks for the reply. I’m trying to source (another) new sprocket as we speak. Cheers and stay upright

Correction to that post about my husbands ‘Nelson Rig’. He has just said that it has holes in I on the hard edges after just one 4 week trip away. So no, can’t give it a positive review

speaking of sprockets…I just got my Classic back after 4 weeks in the shop getting a new DID chain and sprockets fitted. Yes, you read correctly. Not getting a new engine put in, just chain and sprockets. Short story- 4 weeks ago when I initially picked it up I rode home and the bike vibrated so...

They are a bit Big! I lane split so they wouldn’t suit me. My husband has one though he has it strapped behind the seat on the rack. It’s very roomy and he loves it. we both have racks and standard canvas bags that we bought online from India. Dirt cheap.

N No husband did not put in a warranty. He got spokes from Motociclo in Sydney and they were wrong. Went back got more they were wrong. A fellow in Cessnock ended up making some himself. I mean really, how hard can it be😂Interesting about the sprockets 17 or 18. I don’t know, but I’m (mechanic)...

I’ve been thinking of a 19 front sprocket. I heard that it‘s a bit of a hassle (unless you know what you’re doing) to tuning the bike after change over? Hubbies bike is a Stealth. Yes little typo. Same bike as ours except all Matt black.

Hi there. You must be down Gosford way. We just bought a Bullet Electra X 2017 for a restoration project. it too has decompression lever but I reckon I’ll probably break my chin trying to kick it over😂 I’m loving my 500 with its new (Hitchcock) pipe. its about 5 kg lighter than stock. That as...

Him Hi Oz. Nice to finally get a reply from someone that’s been out Wollombi way. If you haven’t already, continue through Wollombi and head up through Bishops Bridge, Lorn to Dungog. All those back roads in good nic and some nice scenery going back down through Lambs Valley into Branxton. You...

Eat more Mudd mentioned to visit Hitchcocks but I think I misunderstood and thought there must be a retail store too😬

Defin Definitely off to Sammy Miller Museum. Thanks heaps for the suggestion. I’m afraid I’m unable to find a ‘physical’ store for Hitchcocks in Redditch. Only online (which I do buy from). Is there a Hitchcocks store anywhere in the UK other than on-line?

The Sammy Miller Museum looks like a must see. Only a couple of hours in the train from London. On my way to Cornwall! I’ve just returned from visiting a few amazing Royal Enfield private collections in Tasmania. I love talking to these guys, so interesting, humble and willing to share so much...

Yeah I’m a I’m a big fan of Fort Nine too. I’m a woman and I really need to try bike gear on, buying online is just hit, miss and expensive. Thanks for sharing though

Thanks mate. That looks like an interesting shop. Don’t know what you might find. Staying in Farringdon for a few nights so easy to get to Mile End. Cheers

Pity I’ll be there in October! If you know of any other biking events/exhibitions/classic racers I’d love to hear from you.

Good ide Good idea to buy Motor Cycle News when I get. Thanks

Now we’re talking! Thanks heaps, I will definitely go there.

Thanks Roy. I’ve done a UK ride before (so yes, cold and wet!) this however is a canal boating trip😏 just thought while I was over there I’d check some places out. Last time I was in the Netherlands they had a fair bit of variety for women unlike in OZ. It’s still predominately a man’s game so...

I’m going Canal boating in the UK in October and whiLe there I thought I’d checkout some bike gear shops. Not planning on riding. I’ve written down your suggestions. Thanks

Here in Oz we don’t have a lot of variety in riding gear, gadgets, and ‘stuff’, and as I’m heading to the UK in a few months I thought I might see if there are any really cool bike gear shops In the UK? Must be something around London surely? Any clues?

G thats correct , there is NO ban on chrome, it is purely about changing the occupational standards for the workers in the industry. There’s a lot of conspiracies such as this on the net at the moment. Just because you read it doesn’t make it true. We all need to do our own homework.
