That was the river Anchcolme wasn’t it. There are some interesting bridges over it. When I lived at North Kelsey I could go through the back roads and cross the river towards Hibaldstow on my way to the Sugar Factory. It was a good pushbike shortcut, but I did go over in the car once, there were no signs with weight limits!

@@springy-2112 I think the newer bit (the straight bit) was built to improve land drainage, the wiggly bit is the original river. I say newer, but if I remember right it was done in the 1700s! It splits in two at Brigg as well, part of Brigg is a sort of island.

yes I'm slap bang in the middle of the Carr Island . I didn't think the straight bit looked natural. That explains it. I did find it odd that both rivers either side of me had the same name. Shows how much notice I take. Tbh, I've only been into brigg town 3 times since I've been here 15 months. 😅

Hi springy just a quick v-strom question what is a good way to lift the as end off the floor so i can do work to the rear center stand and its bolts does it need a center stand jack as in through the rear swing arm bolts etc any adice would be appreciated
@springy-2112 Ай бұрын
Hi Simon, a simple paddock stand would be good. I've had a universal one with adjustable supports fir different widths of swing arms. They just cup under the swing arm and lift the rear leaving room to work underneath . I have a centre flat jack lift thing but it stops you getting to the sump and centre stand etc. A padfock stand cost about 30 pound . You can get a front and rear set for not much more from ebay or amazon. Hooe thus helps. Cheers ,ride safe 👍 ✌️❤️

They certainly are a great fun little bike buddy and mine is still virtually stock. I fitted a pair of actual Honda handguards, which were quite hard to come by; they shouldn't be as I think they're fitted as standard on the 300, and a rack. Apart from that the only change I've made is to remove the saddle's strap. Cheap and versatile, it's far more agile than I am which may explain why I've fallen off it a few times 😄 It's fine just as it is 🙂 Big love to you brother

I've been looking for honda handguards. I didn't think of the 300 stock ones. Great info buddy. I've ordered a bunch of service stuff. It's overdue on years not miles. And I want to start all fresh with it. Got a standard 14 tooth front sprocket coming. It's got the 13 tooth mod on it. Fine for most lemmings but not for me. I think people just automatically do these " performance " mods without even thinking. Or just to be like every other owner who can't think for themselves. Any way I'm really getting into the nitty gritty of it now . Surprising how much abuse / neglect you can find on a 1300 mile bike! Nothing bad just surprising. I can tell it's definately spent most if its life off road, it has the scars to prove it. Which is fine that's what it's for. Cheers Dave, hope you are doing well brother. Peace and love 👍✌️❤️
