Hi everyone,

I’ve been reading on various technical topics here for a while now so I thought i’d sign up to actually ask some question myself that other might find helpful in the future.
My names Rik, i’m from the Netherlands and I currently own a ‘95 honda cbr600 f3, a ‘71 bmw r75/5 and an ‘82 750ltd twin, which hasnt run since september when it decided to seize up on me. I haven’t really gotten around to sort that out, mainly because I don’t have a garage available. The other reason I havent gotten around to it is because my friend who does have a garage bought a zephyr 550 that sat for a year to recommission and sell for a bit of profit which i’m helping him out on. Hopefully i’ll be able to receive some answers here with things I’m struggling with on both bikes as well as be able to provide some answers on topics I’ve recently had experience with. (I’ll try adding some photos)

Hopefully it’ll load the image but these are my ltd twin and my cbr600. Momentarily both out of comission as the ltd seized up on me and the cbr needs a fork refresh.
