suprisingly comfy with the soft shockers, got a blackout style headlight on it now, and the speedos been moved down to hide it a bit – pics to follow…….
built one, no pics though but it was a single wheeled one based on someone elses design.
towed well and was really good round bends, far better than a twin wheeled one. Only got rid coz i didnt have the room but am now looking for the bits to build another one over the winter in time for next years rallys as none of my bikes now have any passenger/luggage space thanks to the angle grinder…
get a rat, no-one nicks them….
and if they do, well – your a couple of hundred quid down, but you saved that by not losing the money buying a plastic fantastic in the first place….
paddle it thru slowly with your feet down and one hand on the kill switch, if the old bill turn up it stalled as you were crossing the junction and you were pushing it to a safe position….
or just ride thru and keep your eyes open.
ok, a lot of these people arent unskilled, theres a sh!tload of polish leccys around now and they are a good thing, besided the unskilled labour that fill the farm/processing jobs in this area.
at least they are working and paying taxes, subsidizing the idle bastards in this country who wont work for minimum wage coz the government pays them more to sit on their ar$e with their 3 kids and free house. They are alright sitting and whinging about it, but if its such a problem why dont they get up off their fat lazy ar$es and take the job themselves? If there wasnt the jobs there, polish/whoever couldnt take them could they?
The whole welfare system needs shaking up, what with all those layabouts on disability that there is nothing wrong with, apart from the once every 6 months “ooh my back doctor” and all the other spongers that feel the country owes them a living its hardly worth working.
They should get no benefit and be found a job doing whatever, if they dont want to do it – fine, no money.
at the end of the day at least they want the work so you cant hold it against them can you.

rat bike – first cateogary, bodged etc etc…
survival bike – second cateogary… ,although usually with a load of bodges here and there too which makes it a rat/survival mutation….
and dont forget the ratfighters!
even the survivals are continually evolving, personally i just like the feeling and the knowledge that whatever the problem is with a bike, you can sort it out without having to resort to main dealers/rip off bike spares prices. Whatever bodges this may entail to save a few quid make it more interesting, both from a problem solving and aesthetic point of view.
Plus it pisses off the plastic sh!te rocket brigade when you park up next to them at a bike meet, mabbe think all the dead flies and rust are going to jump over to their bikes….
theres nothing stopping you!
take a look at the message board over at the rbz for pics of my cb250rs!
Post a message for pigeon or rex – undoubtedly the mz experts out there!
Right, the pc50 – there are 2 types, jap and dutch – if its dutch then it will be grey as its the only colour they did, and the dutch had 19″ wheels instead of the jap 17″.
Frame number will not identify where it came from, only way to tell is as above.The k1 has an overhead valve engine, any frame number after pc50 2023627 is a k1.
cannot find any info re a k2.
