I ride a 2002 Standard Bullet 500 with the Brit vintage cast iron motor and CB points on which I have done quite a lot of work (gas flowed head, nitrided valves, 3-angled seats, stiffer springs, twin spark, some timing mods, beefed up clutch, higher compression, a UNI filter and a flat slide Mikuni carb, and a racing megaphone .... no hot cams ..... yet). This one is my all-purpose (drags, track, dirt, hill climbs) hooligan bike.

The other one is the newer (2007) all-aluminium austrian AVL tech Lean Burn motored Machismo 500 on which I just have a bigger venturi CV carb with a UNI filter and a reverse cone shorty megaphone. This one I tour on.

Cheers, Doc

Nothing so fancy on my part, my last bike was a vfr400, then four long years without one, now a Starck designed Aprilia Moto 650 with only 10,000 miles on the clock. Excellent for riding round town to work etc, good for going over traffic islands and small cars, plus sounds like a beast which scares the crap out of your average driver.

In fact this morning I took her indoors for her first ride on it. Motorbikes are the reason she liked me in the first place and this one is sufficiently impressive for her that she told me she'd keep me on.....

A friend of S-2....well, welcome anyway and enjoy yourself.

Welcome Doc.

Either that, or the Utopian ideal of a forum which is co-owned right down the middle by Indians and Pakistanis, controlled and moderated and administered by both, with mature guys and girls from both sides at the helm of things, with suitable checks and balances and controls to prevent bias creeping in.

I know of at least one forum that was started with these noble intentions and it didn't last more than a month I guess.

At this point, most Pakistanis are only comfortable in Pakistani controlled forums where they can comfortably call others "bigots" and ban them at will.

The admins and mods are nothing but small minds and fragile egos, a bunch of teenagers with nothing to do in life.

Nice!

BTW: Doc, I was checking my bikes side tool box the other day and I found a full size Royal Enfeild sitting in there.

Aryajet, you should know by now that its not the size but what you do with it that matters!

P.S. How do you put photos directly into the post? I tried with the "Insert Image" from my Picasa albums but for some reason the photos do not show here ......
