Crap! I have observed my collection of subtle stupidity has declined to the point that allows me to assess the lack of supply of any of the above required antiquities Firko. >:
 Still will ya settle for a year or three of good comfortable health for us both? Well for everybody    Cheers Tim754      (Chasing a DT1 seat base lead up for you ;)..)

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Although it'd be nice to pick up any or all of the above bibs and bobs, my most important wish is to get my buggered bits fixed and working properly so I can enjoy riding and perhaps even racing my ever growing family of bikes again.
I also hope that those of you suffering from illness, depression and even financial hardship can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel and enjoy life a little more in 2012.  ;)

Firko, be careful asking for your 'buggered bits' to be fixed. You might get more than you bargained for...  :D
When a woman says "What?", it's not because she didn't hear you, she's giving you the chance to chance to change what you said.

Hmmmmm...never thought of that ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Another wish is to see this forum return to its former glory and for the members who've gone missing to come on back. The forum's only as good as what we can put into it and a number of those who've bailed out have contributed shitloads of good, useful and interesting stuff in the past. In recent days we've seen Doc and Mick De return so lets hope that 2012 sees as many of the other "retirees" return to the fold.

Yeah Ross, I don't want to pay crazy money for something that might not fit into my evil project plan. A dented one will do....I'll repair, bog and paint before I pay the money they're asking.
A dumb question from someone who's never had a lot to do with RM's...............
Is the '76 RM125 tank alloy or is it a steel carry over from the TM? If it's alloy, a 125 tank will also work for what I have in mind.

Cool John, that might suit my needs better. Does anyone have an alloy RM125 tank they're prepared to sell?
