I've a feeling its an Activa sold after mine as mine didn't feature a picture like that.

I think the issue that Robert has is he hasn't been in a proper Activa just a standard one.

Aye, that's agreed... Yours, Chris's or Dean's would soon have him singing a different tune...

I wonder how he'd feel if we started taking the p out of XMs and CXs...

No different, sure that all happens already!

We all like different things, and thats no bad thing either, how boring would it be if we were all sheep.

Roberts never owned an Activa with roll control, they were all firm riding exclusives, i know, ive got his old arc guide blocks and quadrant plate, the only way that car ever corrected its lean is when it was scuffing the door handles on the tarmac

Sorry for hijacking your blog chris but i had forgot about these photo's of when i went over my Activa arc system, this is what happens to the control arms for the arc when they get too old, ignore the guide blocks thats one of mine ive rebuilt but look what happens to the rods after a while.

I'm trying to remember which Activa I sent you the roll corrector from... It was either first or the last, as the middle one had new roll corrector link rods, and they went to Portugal.

twas the first Robert, just goes to show how much wear they take, mine have been built up with weld, packed with grease and fitted with a dust cover after seeing these, but i guess they take a lot of kiggling about over the years.

Those control arms are slightly worn

Thankfully mine are in great condition, I think they were replaced not that long ago actually.

165K on her Dean. Was a 96 car I think. It has been sitting idle for at least 5 years.
