I don't use facebook myself, though I know it would be good for promoting youtube videos.
My number of subscribers has just sky rocketed by a massive 33.3% going from 3 all the way up to 4.

This is the first time I've taken the barrel off since buying the bike in 1990 so (as far as I know) it still has the original piston and barrel ...

I'm restoring my customised 1985 Kawasaki KX500 street bike after it being in storage for 23 years.
