Always had a larf when following a mate on his Mag 4 - he ain't willowy, 6'3" and looked like a Frog taking a Dump! all crouched down and legs akimbo! His accident damaged knees eventually stopped him riding 'sport bikes' about 10 yrs ago! I can't anymore due to weight on my accident damaged arm and wrists - Renthal MX bars only.

Past accident damage AND getting old, sucks! >:(

Yes my Mag 2 was the same, I built it so it looked, in my opinion,  right.  BUT the seat was too low and pegs too high, i could only manage about 20 minute :$

 It was one of the reasons I sold it..:(

I haven't been able to use clip-ons for donkeys years, even when I raced my TL1000, 20 years ago, I had to put high bars on it, which also made it much more fun:D

 

Gratuitous TL pictures as its a quiet bank holiday:P

 I must apologise for the leathers , they were very cheap:o

well im 63 and Brian is 42 so 105 years in total. so I think that counts as Antique not Vintage,,:P

I know the feeling but it's always fun when you ride back into the pits, take your helmet off and the youngsters do a double take that they've been struggling to keep up with an old duffer. xD

So haven't touched the bikes since Anglesey, due to work, family and all the stuff that gets in the way...............O.o

 

 

When i did the last go on Brian at Anglesey the exhaust was blowing and steering head was a bit loose.!

 

 so tightened up the head bearings and had a look at exhaust, one bolt had somehow fell out and abandoned ship!!!:S

 

No problem I thought, ive got some new gaskets ill sort it out before my last track day of the year at Castle coombe on the 25th...:D

 

Doh.!!! who put that head oil cooler there !!!!:$

 

Never thought about that when i fitted it! bugger
