Cheers knacker. Just been looking at a couple of ECs on ebay.

Yeah my mate rides a Pampera - and I've had a go. Good bike but not really up there with the crm, imo. Nice to have the luxuries on the crm even if they make it heavier - idiot lights, speedo, etc. etc.

The Pampera is very basic.

My bike was stolen last week. More details can be seen here:

Ideally I would like to get another CRM. Mine was a mkI in very tidy condition with one previous owner and 18k km on the clock, cost me £1250 last year. Came with a thick wad of ...

Hey thanks for that. Might well have to invest. ; - )

Yeah I hear yer. Might be time to fit a couple of cameras outside. Even "dummy" ones would probably have the desired effect - or at the very least, act as a deterrent for some of the more easily spooked tea leaves.

Cheers man. Wouldn't be quite so shite if these bikes were a bit easier to get hold of but of course, being grey and a bit long in the tooth, finding a decent one can take a while. And it might be me being a bit unimaginative, but I can't really think of another bike quite like the crm. Don't wanna ...

Yeah. Thief came in the house, managed to find the key in the kitchen cupboard. Me and the kids (7 and 8 y/old) were upstairs. What if one of them came down for a glass of water or something - disturbed them and got stabbed or something. Doesn't bear thinking about. And takes the incident to a far ...

Stolen from integral garage at my house 10 miles south east of York on Sunday morning - neighbour reported hearing a 2t revving ...

Thanks for the suggestion. Will try that. ; - )

Will recheck petrol use too.

Okay - been out and about a bit more. I am going to try and describe in more detail the bike's symptoms. Some of this is repetition so please excuse stuff I''ve mentioned previously.

It starts easily - both cold and hot. It idles contentedly once warm, and at all times. It sounds well when idling ...

I'll convert the conservatory into a spinal unit and get plenty of Preparation H in.


Was out on the crm all morning - am rapidly learning to spend as much time up on the pegs as possible, knees gripping the tank, etc.

Saturdays are cool. I'll PM you to confirm that date, rich.

cheers

Any day, as long as I get a bit of notice. Would much prefer decent weather though. But yeah - I can pretty much do any day if I get a few days warning. ; - )

Please note, though, that I'm a fair way off the A59 - in a village called Seaton Ross. Not sure if that makes it all too inconvenient ...

Suffice to say you're more than welcome too, rich.

Have to say though, I wouldn't want to ride too far on a CRM. My arse was not best pleased after two hours in the saddle last night. : - (

In other news I've contacted the local branch of my TRF so hopefully that will bear some fruit. Apparently ...

Any time you're in the area PM me and I'll put the kettle on and get the cakes out. ; - )
