    Starter motor rebuild

    I gota say I miss my GSX. So good to return to being 17 again when burning about. The GSX was my second ever bike (I call it thus even though it's a donor dragged from a hedge and some of my original bits on it) You know I have the first bike I ever bought still - my rd250d 1977 (not bought new...

    Good history ! and good on the Asia English teaching in the future. The bike is now yours and must be saved ! (and stored whilst on travels not sold) I gota say I would want to hear it running before I tore it down and started spraying or whatever. Others may disagree but it's the way I always...

    M-unit and Lithio Battery

    Does the bike actually go ? run ? Or is it a 'out of hedge wreck' ? I always like to get bikes going or as near as damn it and assess where it's at before starting a project. It current status. I then get it mechanically perfect and and end up never restoring it .... I am sure someone will come...

    Solar power pack for bike touring

    Yes agree. I think however I only need it when stationary for few days. Like my usual break down in Amsterdam or the likes.

    Solar power pack for bike touring

    AND yes I have a 12v to usb charger from bike battery so can charge phone on bike and perhaps battery pack at same time. This a nest of wires under seat but worked on last trip . I just think when stationary for few days on campsite it is so useful to get things charged up.
