.4... Who actually brought one? What do you think of it? I didn't and now I'm (again) getting sick of looking at a 15" TFT at home and an 18" TFT at work because the one at home suddenly seems a lot smaller than it did before I got my new work PC :-) I see that savastore.com and pcnextday (never heard of them?) are doing them for about £360 which doesn't seem at all bad for a 19" TFT. I bought one, but not from Ebuyer. It developed 2 dead pixels pretty quickly but other than that it's fine. -- Niel Humphreys |

Didn't have one myself but a mate did - he upgraded it to a GS1000, an even better bike but not, IMHO, as good as my Kwacker Zed Wun (B variant). Damn, I wish I'd kept that, it was a classic even in the late '70s/early '80s. Must be worth a fortune now. sigh |

Remember Mike the Bike ****ing all over the works Hondas on his Sports Motorcycles Duc in his '78 & '79 TT comeback? I was there - great times :-) Jezz you sound old enough to be considering a Harley "middle age crisis" Davidson. Then again I'm contemplating going from a teapot to something like an Mz Baghira or a similar thumper. A good friend of mine has a GS550. Fecking iron horse thing it was. She got it for 400 quid. It was running a bit rought so she took it for repair. About 50K miles on the clock, all 4 carb to engine rubbers had perrished with holes in them and the guy said the bike shouldn't even be be running let alone run rough. When I had the rocker box off to replace the leaking gasket most of the cam bearings were held on my only two screws rather than the usual 4. It was amazing that the thing still ran and hadn't lunched the top end years ago. The screws could't be replaced as the threads needing helicoling. The rev counter had failed becuae the feed off teeth from the exhause cam had been stripped at some point. I expect the rpm cable had broken and wedged in the take off stripping the teeth. It didn't so much need a brake light as a "warning vechicle possibly slowing down this year". Still it was sprayed metalic purple which was a good thing. |
