    Recommend me a reliable petrol vw engine

    The 1300 in my 1966 bug ran like a top for years, but I'm thinking that's not the type of petrol engine you're thinking of

    Would you be caught dead on a Honda Grom?

    I'd love to have a Grom. It'd go great for an alternative to the RoadStar and Vmax in my garage.

    Change your brake fluid

    A tip .. Get a set of Speed Bleeders for your calipers and install them beforehand. If you get air in the lines, they'll make life a lot easier. All calipers on my machines have them installed, along with the clutch slave cylinder on the Vmax.

    100,000 mile countdown
