Worth signing because it's a pain at the moment. In London you can be happily and legally trundling down a bus lane, only to change boroughs and it to become illegal! I got caught with that a few years back.

Nothing to do with me but there's one on ebay:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226482577754

Been on for a while so you might get some success with an offer.

A friend of mine hs had a bike brought back from America by James Cargo. Seemed to do the job okay.

Thanks for that Vitesse, although, erm... what happens if someone pays cash on collection? :? Do ebay demand some sort of payment? :? Oy boy, that's a real can of worms. Basically they do everything possible to stop you doing that. You'll find it all but impossible to give someone your address or n...

Yes, Ebay has changed. The seller no longer pays fees but they add it on for the buyer.

Mine has a piece of rubber clearly fashioned from inner tube. Not pretty with a big knot in it but effective.

Cool but why the drum? Is e restricted on the bike's age?

Ah. So that spare I've squirreled away "just in case" isn't rare or special!

Is it the same as a 350 one? I replaced mine with locking one so should have to non locking one in a box somewhere . . .

Yeah, they're all like that!
Green laning you'd be running about 12 psi so you have plenty of scope to experiment.

Hang on you've missed out a few of the greats . . .

Iron Horse - Motorhead
Silver Machine - Hawkwind
Ghost Rider - Rush

and of course:

Box Hill or Bust
I'm Happy When I'm Ridin' Me Hog
Cowshit Under Me Wheels - Dumpy's Rusty Nuts

I helped pick him up on our section (Clinton). He was in good spirits but was really on a hiding to nothing with short travel suspension and hipster style wide tyres!

I'm sure most of those are in Cornwall! Do you venture to the North of the county later in the year?

You'll have David after you for a magazine article. Actually, with pictures it might be ideally suitable.

I know from Guzzi (etc) forums (fora?) that experience with Motobatts is VERY polarised however!

There has been a lot of talk of fake Motobatts.
