I was disappointed she was not into old Suzukis or Kawasakis actually Rob. I used to adore two-stroke triples back in my youth... Never really much of a fan of four stroke bikes, especially Honda with their camshafts made of cheese...

You don't want patches Rob, they're worse than smoking :twisted: and play havoc with your skin :twisted: Still, better than the fags I guess... Well yes, no guess about it. It's a no-brainer really..

Yes, indeed very possible. Nothing much stops an Activa engine from starting usually. Generally they're very eager to spark up into life, even after a long rest.

Normally, stale pertrol is never a problem as it never stays around long enough in an Activa to get stale!!!!

Stale petrol has a distinctive unpleasant smell about it, a bit of a rancid sort of smell..
Oh the old screamers, love the smell of castrol R. Was looking at a MINT KH750 a while ago on Ebay, sold for over 10k :shock:

Quite fancy a RG500 as a weekend toy but they go for silly money, mate of mine had one, first time he took his GF on it she stuck her fingers up the top two exhausts, then said she liked the heated hand grips :lol:

That is so funny Rob :lol:

My last triple was a Suzuki GT550 :P

A friend of mine had a Yam RD500 until a couple of years back and even though it was crash damaged, it still went for something approaching 2K :shock:

Lovely bike. I rode it a few times...

A KH750 eh? Gorgeous in green. Famous for a flexible chassis and pulling the most amazing wheelies!!!
