  1. Landed by my front door this morning. The article is a good read and well up to the standard you'd expect from the team at PS :upyeah:

  4. I get my copy from tesco (think of the points!!) - so must be widely available I'd have thought. Had an article on shimming the Ducati bottom end last month also.

  10. ive seen the prices of 916's recently and theyre going for big money..theres a nice bip online for £6k with a few extras (single seat and a coupe of bits of carbon) and 19k on the clock...mines done 14k and is 2 owners, full history, better nick and a rarer model (916S), mag wheels, ohlins blah blah...i'd probably sell an organ before i sold the old gal though..based on what ive seen i'd be justified in asking above £6k.

  12. Had a look today and it's the same guy that did the online article, which I think a link was posted here some time ago.

    From what I read there were a whole load of errors made in his restoration including when he cut a recess into the rear brake bolt to hold an o-ring, and then wondered why the bolt sheared two pages later...
