It’s A 400cc Showdown
Moby | Blogs | 21/05/2010 12:53pmHello Fast Bikes readers, my name’s Simon, or ‘Pip’ to my ‘friends’. I work in the FB office, and I’m new to biking – so Moby thought it would be good if I shared my experiences with you here on the FB website. I think he’s just working on the theory that I’m bound to make a tit of myself through a lack of experience, and the fact that I’ve bought a needy VFR400 will make good practical advice and tips for readers who also aren’t rich enough to be able to buy a minter.

Blog: Charlie's project ZXR400 – the rebuild
Moby | Blogs | 16/04/2010 17:00pmThe obvious way to start in the rebuild is from the bottom up. With my newly powder coated frame wrapped back up and awaiting my attention my focus is the wheels. I was nervous coating these, stories of cracks due to the pressures of powder coating in modern bike wheels is not uncommon, how would my 20 year old runners fare? Beautifully.
