Hi from Melbourne

Hi!

So I've had my 97 monster 750 for a little over 5 years now. Bought her second hand with only 9k km on the clock! Now with over 75000, I'm doing a bit of a rebuild. Couple of oil leaks around the side covers and a head, a crack in the frame and a blown fork seal. With those fixed, add in 12:1 hi comp pistons, lightly ported heads/intakes, lightened flywheel, keihin fcr39 carbs, enlarged airbox, and a few other bits and pieces.

Signing up to various boards in the never ending chase for parts and mods/info

Australia.

Hi and welcome, do you know Frank M from DOC Victoria? I've met him a couple of times and sometimes share a beer when his job has him passing through London.

'a beer' is rarely singular in my experience;-)

the definition of A beer is use to explain what type of beverage you will consume, not the singular version of just A (1) Beer

Unfortunately I find that too, mostly it's a a very plural experience. Much VB and pinot = dreadful hangover.. probably the pinot
