    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm sooooo happy

:lol: Whooopie , I feel good. :D
I am in the UK and passed my bike test today. This means after thirty years of driving cars I can go back to legaly riding a motorcycle. I first rode a Royal Enfield 250 Crusader sport at the tender age of 16 and I had no idea what I was doing. Today I rode my fully restored (all work done by me) GS250T, what a cute little bike, nice noise.
After spending three months on the bligther, and about three hundred pounds I rode it today, and it felt sooooo good. Why oh why did I stop with the bikes.
I am now looking for a bigger one to tinker with, but I love this little cutie and cannot understand why everyone always wants big bikes when they don't ride trans anything other than trans my town.
Big is not always best.

NOW YOU BETTER TELL THE TRUTH :lol: :lol:
THIS YANK HAS WANTED A FIRST HAND EXPLANATION OF WHAT A BLIGTHER IS--PLEASE BE KIND AND EASE MY CURIOSITY
 
Congratulations on getting your bike comleted. There's a lot to be said for the agility and ease of handling with smaller bikes, especially around town. When I had my shop, I had several big bikes, but I always took our little Honda 175 to run parts in Boston. It was soo much easier to cram between parking spaces and pop up over curbs. Yours looks like a real beauty!! :D
 
Glad to see you decided to redo a little classic.

I am with Scotty on this blighter issue(I'm confused)
 
Blighter, term used for something slightly iritating. Like I just got the bike finished and the reg/rec cooked the CDI.
Also can be used for people; chap doing the dirty on someone, (the blighter did what).
Not really used by anyone much under 40.

After 60 years of watching Brittish movies i finally understand what Alec G :D uinness was trying to say
 
This is too good to pass up!
Hey bonoeuf! Buddy of mine used to own a BSA 250 Blighter or was it a Triumph 250 Bugger...one er the other, what!
 
I think it's nice to hear English slang; if you would call it that; now and then. My Mum was born and raised in Cumberland/Cumbria and I've heard some interesting phrases over the years.
