Brilliant! Love the photos.
I have done a few track days on the Indy circuit on my Honda 600 and when I had a speed triple. A fun circuit. Sadly the family won't let me do any more track days, even though the roads seems more dangerous.

Re: Classic Bike, September issue
Recovery going well, thanks for asking.
Ah I thought I had seen something about it on the forum, thanks for that. Brands Hatch is near me, I might have to go.

Re: They do crash well!
Thanks Arthur. No idea where the silencers originated, they came from Ian Lucas. I may just have to live with scratches, but I think I will try and take the sharpness off.

Re: Refinishing old fasteners.
I have used old phone chargers as power supplies, but they don't last long with me. I ended up buying a variable voltage/current supply off Amazon. A multimeter is handy so you can measure the current. This is worth a watch, informative and well editied: https://youtu.be/G-PtnwtOR24?si=mI2mmZlmCseyQ...

Re: Refinishing old fasteners.
I have used a Gateros kit with good success on my Garelli Tiger Cross and 250 2c (see my posts in the 250 vee section). Like a lot of things preparation is key. I use brick cleaner as the etching acid, works for me.

Re: They do crash well!
As good as can be. Fractured collar bone means some months of recovery before I am riding again, though.

They do crash well!
If you have seen my post about travelling to the Founders Day event, then you will know I came a cropper on a greasy roundabout. The 250 got off a lot better than me!

Re: VMCC Founders Day 2025.
Glad it was good and sorry not to make it all the way there. Stopped for petrol and fell off on a roundabout on the way back to the A14. Sadly damage is the wrong way round. 250 has a broken front brake lever and few scratches. Me: 6 cracked ribs and a broken collar bone. Just being discharged from ...

Re: Welcome new forum members - introduce yourself
Welcome Dean. I put my 250 together just over a year ago (also a box of bits). If I can be any help let me know.

Re: Badges, stickers or paint
I printed some badges for my 250, held in by brass screws that screw into the fixing holes (cut short so they don't pierce the tank!). Not 100% accurate but close enough for me. Happy to 3D print some more if you want have a look at some or the files are here: https://thangs.com/designer/richard%20p...
