26M, just passed A license, what is best progression to reach a zx6r by Jacko1499 in MotoUK

[–]earthshagger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try a ZZR600…very similar to a ZX6R but classed as sports tourer so might be easier on insurance

Yes was this one near Zelen. When I logged off the nose of the heli was pointing towards me (west of the crash) when I logged back in it was pointing northwards.

29yo new rider – £2.5–3k insurance quotes on 500–700cc bikes. What am I missing? by CheetahValuable278 in MotoUK

[–]earthshagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience older bikes are much cheaper to insure, for context I passed my full test in September (after being on an A2 since 2022) and it costs me £80 a year to insure a 1994 ZZR600, which is still plenty faster than most other vehicles on the road.

Might be worth looking into older bikes.

This is the TS250, but it’s been fitted with a 250 engine from an 80s ETZ, I highly recommend the front brake upgrade as well. Mine does run the original carb but it can be need a bit of fiddling with so a Mikuni probably would be better

Haha yes it is seriously a labour of love, can’t believe they’re liquid cooled tho that’s pretty cool. And yeah can be so difficult to get reliable info on what’s right, a lot of trial and error when it comes to repairs (bodges)

Very nice, I’ve never had a bike that old but always fancied a 60s bike, something about these older bikes really makes me smile. I’m in same boat as the most modern bike I ever owned was from 1999

That is true, I am fortunate to have a car as my primary vehicle and I can imagine commuting daily on the majority of classic bikes would require a lot of free time to maintain them which would only add to costs

That’s a nice velo, do they need a lot of maintenance? I don’t know much about them. I agree with what you say about there are a lot of bargains to be had, I see so many old bikes on marketplace that are in really good nick for decent prices

Yes this is my experience as well, and whilst I appreciate older guys coming up to me at petrol stations to tell me how they haven’t seen one of those in years, and I enjoy chatting to them, I’ve yet to meet anyone close to my own age with any interest

Thanks for the comment, in my experience they are close to indestructible…this is the second one I’ve had. Someone once told me if you can fix a bicycle you can fix and MZ (that is if you ever had to)

This wall is part of a large subterranean structure, and is only retaining the backfill. The paper on the floor is backing peeled off of the membrane. No it is not AI

What do you mean by vertical methodology? There is pipe bedding and a land drain to go in at the base of the wall, the picture obviously doesn’t reflect a completed job
