Mz Es250 outfit for sale

Beautiful trophy outfit for sale, lured by shiny things this was an impulse buy and on reflection was a mistake as I already have four sidecars!

the whole thing is lovely in cream and blue and looks like it is newly delivered from a showroom. Which is why it needs to go to someone more bike proud than I am. If I drove it for any period of time it would acquire the character that all my bikes have.

the sidecar is a velorex with fitted tonneau cover and someone has spent a lot of time and effort pairing the bike and chair. The bike starts easy and runs well with no nasty noises. 12 volt conversion. Good tyres. More importantly, the whole thing goes well, gets up to a good speed, goes where you point it and stops.

Yorkshire section winter camp

howdo chums here it is, I know you have all been waiting with baited breath. The Yorkshire section 2 nd camp of the year! I know, can’t keep us cooped up. The winter camp this year is on 8/9/10 January. Behind the Crown Hotel in Lofthouse ( bottom crown) Pately Bridge North Yorkshire. Just at the bottom of the hill from where we held the AGM 2 years ago.

it’s a Baxter basics rally, no showers but 24 hr khazi availability and depending on the weather may be a bit soggy underfoot. However there is an upside. 10 seconds to the pub which does fantabulous food. Also 10 minutes to Howstean gorge cafe, 40 minutes and a new set of lungs to top crown.

both pubs are welcoming and warm.

any more info txt me on 07980837005 or email bynnsi@gmail.com

i know the date on the add is wrong, but it will come in for the following year.

Howstean Gorge winter camp

Howdo cats n kittens, just had a ride out to check on our booking at Howstean Gorge for January. Pleased to announce that all systems are go.

Howstean Gorge winter camp 19/20 Jan 24

Howstean Gorge Lofthouse, Pately Bridge, Harrogate HG35SF

For those who have not visited before, the site is behind the Howstean Gorge cafe/visitor center.

There is a reasonably new facility block with good showers. The site is in walking distance of 2 pubs, both called The Crown! The pubs are about a mile away, sadly one of the pubs ( the top Crown) is up a very steep hill. It’s well worth the effort though decending after a night spent imbibing has proved difficult in the past!

Both pubs do hearty food and there is also the cafe.

The area is fantastic for motorcycle riding, and can be spectacular in winter.

we have booked snow!

Be there or be huddled under a tartan blanket wearing slippers watching celebrity spank off on the tellybox!

Weird harmonics

Oi oi kittens, here is a a strange one.

I have just rebuilt a ts 150, it was a complete bike but basically scrap. Anyhoo everything is fine apart from at certain revs there is a strange thrumming rattle. I have been round with a stethescope and the noise seems to be the frame vibrating! Has anybod had a similar experience?.

I have had the frame welded where the foot pegs mount as the pegs had caught and ripped the mount free. Also the rear pegs were rotten so I cut them off and plated the hole. Solid repairs, I can’t see them making any difference.

I have now put a bolt through the frame using an existing hole just in front of the tank mounts.

this has reduced the noise but not stopped it. All injin mounts tight and clearance on header pipe ok.

Fork extentions

Greetings chums, has anyone used these fork extenders available on eBay? Or any suggestions to extend a pair of ts125 forks ? I’m building a small trail bike, and would like a bit more clearance at the front.

cheese

Ts125 crank wanted

Oi oi pussycats

got myself another stinky. Sadly crank is fooked.

looking on the normal sites and the price of o new crank is more than I gave for the bike. Don’t seem to be any conrod kits out there either. Soooo, has any one got a good second hand crank gathering dust?

Balls

Greetings pussycats. I’m in the middle of rebuilding an injin from out of my shed and have come unstuck for the want of a detent  ball and spring for an etz250. I have rooted through my piles of crap but can’t find any. Has anyone got one they would care to part with?
