Macretro - Plenty of nice old builds, threads about nice old bike builds, pictures of nice old bike builds. Lots of chat about nice old bike builds Then I went to a Macretro meet - Modern suss across the board.

I'd a bike worth of these though never fitted or used them Considered myself fortunate to have been able to flog them off to some other poor starry eyed schmuck. I shall be ever proud of the day I dodged that bullet :LOL:

Whats the deal with the porcs ? are they custom jobbies ?

As im too lazy to read the entire thread, i will consider that someone has said that a welder will have that fixed in a jiffy. Or you could buy a cheap welder and do it yourself- though you mentioned you were into cars, so owning one of those would be very handy and save you money in the long...

Does that mean its more expensive ? Last one sold in the UK...

This will probably make you unwell :LOL: Why have one motor.... when you can have TWO! Yamaha Y-01W all-wheel-drive

Whats not to like ? (not mine)
