No, i can say the handling/braking was "interesting" enough with the one,

Today was bucket day

Sun is on, put that carpet through the wash bud

That is where I am lucky, my van has a daihatsu liner easy to slide out and hose down.

Waz

Nah, if i removed all the oil & muck the buckets wouldn't slide as easily

Do I sense a big job breaking out here? Bit of a patio maybe?

Patio? No, Driveway? Yes The drive is 2 lines of slabs, i'm filling in the middle with 3x2's, can't afford monoblock(got the slabs for nowt) and i want a solid drive for the bike. Downside was i found a rodding eye today, why a downside? I found it with the bloody pick Lucky i work for a plumbing & builders merchant

wrap it in DPC and concrete over it

Nah, going to dig it out and tee a sump drain into it, be handy for washing the bike in front of the garage

this was sunday evening just about to drive home.

So, not much then.......

No, we didn't have the third seat, small child and all the camping gear which we have done in with that lot.

And the problem is? Everybody should go as prepared for all eventualities. Keeps the noise down with less passengers though - I've not had one in my van for years, as the footwell and seat have been taken up with 'essentials'.

Car bootie Rich?

No Clare's business is selling hand made cards, crafts and gifts we were at a steam rally in bedfordshire.

Oh yes, I remember you posted a link to her website a while back.

Now that would be progress and eco-friendly, a steam-powered hijet!

Well we have seen a jet engined one so why not.

Cant see you managing to fit the water tank or boiler in with all that stuff... ( cant actually see you fitting much more than a postage stamp in with all that stuff )

Like I said this time there was no small child (teenager) and camping gear but it does all go in there was loads of room shown in the side door view and then there is always the top box but Clare hates it as the only time we have used it we were blown all over the road more than normal, we were thinking about putting the Yb in and packing round it but I think we do have a little to much to take to get it in so if any one with a tow bar wants to give it to me I won't complain failing that can I have some pics and I'll weld up a bike rack to hang off the chassis at the back.

Whats in the van today? Me, a hoover, some Vanish, and a lot of effort,thats what. The transformation from grubby going to the tip van to sleeping accommodation for a week is upon me

Not being a bike wiz, I think that is a Yamaha RD250 ?

Either way it looks in very good nick

Very nice.
Looks standard apart from the seat cover, grabrail colour & indicators.
More pics please, when you've prised it out of the Hijet.
Going up in value all the time.
Is it a keeper?

Sadly not mine picked it up for one of my mates. Reminds me of when I was seventeen, though mine seemed much bigger and had waaay wider tyres...

On a W reg, that bikes older than me, so what's my excuse?
