Beautiful spot where you stopped to rest!
Similar to 'buddy', or 'pal' really, maybe even 'friend' in some ways. Definitely a term of common appreciation VH. Carry on... :cool:
While you're waiting for parts, take apart all of the connections in the harness that might have a role in the starting circuits, clean them...
You guys are hardcore! Geez... castration, diddling, WTF, O? :cool: And lad if I'd known you were in to trade that beautiful VFR4 for a Thruxton...
Great stuff lad, keep it coming!
I'm with DaHose on that. If the other driver's insurance company is saying they aren't liable, then screw it. Hit 'em, and hit 'em hard. Get an...
Looking fantastic lad, keep it comin' :cool:
There are a few guys on SabMag that have rebuilt the Sabre shocks, and there are alternatives if you want to replace it. Here's a link to a...

Don't waste any money on any service manual other than the Honda Factory manual if you're going to do any serious work. There is no comparison....
I finally watched the Valencia race today (although I'd heard the result). Damn, Ben just blew it in that last corner. Good job, Casey!
In a word... yes. ALL of the Gen 1 V-4's had a serious inconsistency with cylinder head/camshaft manufacturing that resulted in heavy wear early...
Didn't mean to sound negative with my post, just a word of caution on price is all. FWIW, I put 156K on an '85 V65 Sabre (1100cc), and it was...
IMHO, any bike 10+ years old with 80K+ miles on it is a $1000 purchase - and it better be in pretty nice shape cosmetically at that.
They sure do! Every one of those little guys has a death wish. :cool:
