lmao.

moral of the story. Put the bike away for another day until it is sunny :-)

Moral of the story #2. The NC24 rear wheel will come off with the exhaust in place, if you remove the exhaust you won't chip the paint of the wheel ;)

Moral of the story #3: Anybody interested in an NC24?

Good condition, guaranteed 58bhp (dyno'd), R1 reg/rec / varta battery / new genny / clutch, 26k / looking circa 650+ (oh and obv since it's one of mine it's in rothmans scheme ;)

aaaaaaaarrrghhh!!! £650?? i've spent at least that on mine and its still not 100%!!

Mr Neo, if i could sell a kidney or one of the kids i'd snatch your arm off :(
oh well. at least mine has er, character?

silver tank, hood and seat cowl, lower fairings still in primer (paint i have is awful. stop me and look at my tank, honestly, you'll cry),facebook 'lee marsh' for a pic. the instrument cradle has come loose so its like driving a mobile disco with the headlight bouncing up and down (ill fix that today before the headlight bulb implodes), an iphone for a mph speedo (the push bike one says i'm doing 643mph and yes i've checked the settings 3 times), a cop-magnet race can that sounds actually quite sexy but when you ride as slow as me its a bit of a dissapointment, i'll be refitting the original until i dare wear knee sliders again.

moral of the story? dont try and ride on a budget of £sod all. buy decent tools, dont rush jobs and listen to Neo.
er, i'll continue the Rear Hub Fiasco story a bit later, i'm hounding ebay for a reg/rec atm...
Formerly RacingSlug. Felt like a change and it came down to either Biscuits, Ben10 (possible copyright issues) or NinjaSmokeWarrior. The wife suggested TwatMan.

ok £2500 :D feel better? :P

Erm yeah it's best to wait for a decent one if your after one as they can be had for 6-750. which you'd easily need to spend to bring a dog up to standard and since they dont' fetch much the only reason they seem to get done is either people who enjoy building old bikes, people who enjoy the 24 or people who do it unknowing that it wont be worth anything :/

There still a nice bike :-)

I managed to find some pictures from the advert when I brought it. It still looks the same except i've cleaned the exhaust up.

Go for the R6 Reg Reg! Cut the loom off your knackered RR and put spades on it then mount it on the subframe ;)
