S.F.Bell Motorcycles

Hello,
I am sad to report to this group that Shay Bell passed away 14 Aug 24. He loved this community and sharing and learning information about new and old bikes. Thank you for bringing so much joy to his life.
Sincerely,
Pammy

I forgot to put these photos when I was doing a tyre change on the Rex.

I also cured the problem I was having of getting the Rear of the Rex up using the S**t paddock stands I had.

It was insane..in 45 years working on Motorcycles the Rex was the only Bike I couldn't lift by myself.
I had to have 2 other people help me try lift the Bike up using my s**t paddock stands.
BUT NOT ANYMORE!
I got a New Pit Bull stand & I can lift the Rex up on my own Easy F**kin Peasy.

When you buy a Brand New Arai Quantum X you should always stick it on the back of your Bike with about 25 Bungee chords.😁

I was wearing an Arai Signet X but I went with Quantum this time cos it was the first model Arai I ever got.

I just noticed this! F**K..F**K..F**K...F**K
F**K..F**K..F**K...F**K

The First Ride ( less than 10 miles) to scrub in my Brand New SHINKO 003 Ultra Softs.
In the 13 years I've lived in PotHoleLand aka Portland I've gotten more punctures from Nails & Screws in my Tyres than I got in the previous 40 years of riding all over Ireland & then all over So California.

It's all from construction job sites on houses & commercial buildings.

Those construction WANKERS ..oops I mean Workers don't give Two F*CK'S about any Motorists & they don't give Any FU*K'S about Motorcyclists

They never clean up when they're finished working on a job site.Never.

First ride in two weeks.
It sure is good to be back on a Bike. SFB Racing Baby!
😃👍🇮🇪👍🇯🇵👍😃

Got New Boots for the Rex.I usually run Shinko 003 Ultra Soft on the front & regular compound on the rear but this time it's Ultra Soft F&R.

Now I just need to find a rear stand that has enough leverage so i don't have to call all my friends
( Matt Williams Kelsey McLeod & Nicky Doodles aka The 3 Knuckleheads 😂) to help me lift the rear of the Kwackersaki Up!!!

If any ZRX owner knows of a good quality stand that will work let me know.

Rain yesterday & today equals me doin a S**tload of Wiring on the #62 Suzy 1200😵‍💫😀

I'd like to be a lot further along on my #62 Bandit 1200 but my health issues have been kicking the S**t outta me for the past few months,then the #60 Lowell McMurray Racing Kwackersaki 1200 had some major electrical problems.

For the past 3 weeks all I have done is Electrical work on the Kwacker which is fun when you have S**t eye sight.
4 different model Weller soldering Irons that are all S**t and then to make it a Total Pain in the Arse Kawasaki decided not to colour code any wires from switches to main wiring Loom 🙄

The major work of swapping out the Bandits $7.99 totally F****in S**t Front Forks is done and Yamaha FZ1 front end is on.
I need to get the Bandit fender on cos there's no F***in way am I using the OEM Yamaha Elephant Ears front fender.😂

Ya gotta L❤️ve Croz!

One of the nicest people I met at The One Motorcycle Show was Chris from https://www.cwmoto.com/

I was drooling over Andy DiBrino #62 MV F3RR Race bike and parked close to Andy's MV I noticed another Bike..I didn't know exactly what it was but I did know it was Italian cos it was Sexy as F**k then i walked behind it and saw the 4 Pipes sticking out.MV-F4.😮

That's when Chris from CW Moto came over and started telling me about the F4 build.

I'm probably remembering lots of what Chris told me ass backwards, forgetting some stuff but when you hit 63yrs old your memory ain't the best.

The Bike was built up from a bunch of parts a customer of CW-Moto bought, going thru the parts stash they realize it's mostly F4 Parts

(3 Frames..couple of motors..few wiring looms plus other odds & ends)

The Bodywork & Gas Tank are a one off all made of Carbon Fiber 20yrs ago.

Custom Swingarm

Magnesium Wheels

Chris told me he has some connections in the WSB that's how he got the Super Trick WSB Front Forks .

People forget the F4 is 23 years old now but Massimo Tamburino came up with such Beautiful design the Bike looks just as good today and arguably better looking than a lot of the current Superbikes.

I love those Funky Front Ender Bikes and to make this one even more Awesome its a Suzook & if that wasn't Special enough you find out its built by the Dutch Genius Nikko Bakker!
That's a Win,Win,Win.
I F☆☆☆in L💛ve It.
👍🇮🇪 👍 🇯🇵 👍🇳🇱👍

Out for a Ride on the Ol Kwackersaki 1200.Riding Bikes is Therapy and way better than going to a Psychaitrist.😁

First photo taken with my New Phone & number.Im not very excited cos it's looking like Pam & mesef could be homeless very soon.
It really upsets & pains me to post this but I need to sell my Kawasaki ZRX1200 ASAP if anybody is interested send me a message plus I have a 79 Yamaha RD400 project Bike comes with extra motor.
I'm also selling my 1998 Ford Van.
I got so much stuff I need to sell ASAP it's probably best if people just come by my place to checkout my stuff.

If any Bikers in the Portland & Vancouver area's need Parts V***r Blasted I can highly recommend Jordan Evans .
Jordan is a super nice guy & a Hardcore Kawasaki Rider and Builds some awesome custom Kawasakis,his bikes have been shown at The One Show in Portland.
Send Jordan a message and tell him the Ol Irish Guy sent you.😁

Finally got the new not S**t Amazon 6 pin connectors to repair my Kwackersaki REX1200.

I always like the Honda RC51.It's a shame poor Suzuki didn't just copy the RC51 frame & stick the Looney Tunes TLR1000 engine in a package that handled.😁

If I had the Ca$h to buy an RC51 the same day I'd be ordering the Cabin 8hr Bodywork.Gotta be the Best looking Honda 8hr Bike ever?
L❤️ve It.
👍🇮🇪🇯🇵👍

A few more YouTube Motorcycle Channels run by Stupid Bastids that you should stay clear of if you are serious about learning how to repair or just looking for tips about riding a Motorcycle
I repeat..DO NOT WATCH these F*¢**n Idiots.

The channel "2Vintage" is run by a Dude that thinks he's
"The Dirt Bike Whisperer"..he's more like The Dirt Bike Wanker🤣
When you start watching his videos at first you're thinking ..this guy isn't so bad but then you see a Claw Hammer on his work bench and then you see the Dude using a Crescent Wrench to loosen & tighten soft ally tappet covers and using Big A$$ Air Impact Tools to loosen engine cover & head bolts and he wonders why so many Bolts snap.🙄

Another terrible channel is
CJ MEDIA"
This Ginger Snap idiot specializes in buying new-ish Crash Damaged Super Bikes from auctions,then he usually spends twice as much as the Bike is worth on Brand New OEM Parts to rebuild the Bike...some of the Bikes he buys are really F*¢ked Up and Im sure they have some frame damage/alignment issues but he doesn't check any of that.Just because you can't see a F*¢*in 45 degree bend in the front forks doesn't mean the forks are not bent especially when the front wheel looks like Spaghetti🙄🤣
I guess he's a Christian cos he throws in quotes from the Bible all the time.
If I rode a Bike he worked on I'd be Praying as well.😁
I wouldn't let this Red Headed Loon work on a Lawnmower let alone a 200HP Superbike.

The worst part about all these terrible channels is they have a huge amount of subscribers.
I think YouTube should move all these channels to a section called
"View At Your Own Risk"

A few months ago outside my local Cycle Gear store I was talking to a couple of young lads they were admiring my Rex 1200 and they were talking about getting a Bike and I was giving them advice on what size Bike they should get.

They asked me what YouTube channels they should watch to learn more about Riding Bikes & stuff.
I said..well I can tell you the YouTube channels NOT to watch if you wanna learn the correct way to Ride & Wrench on your bike.

Don't watch the Yammie Nob..Noob..K**b or wtf his name is guys channel he's a F*¢**n Idiot..plus the guy with the beard who used to work for Yammie K**b he has a YouTube channel now he's another a F*¢"*n Idiot.

If you want to learn General Motorcycle maintenance
For F*¢k Sake DO NOT..I repeat DO NOT watch that Limey Moron DelBoys channel.

But if you want to learn how to totally F*¢**n destroy perfectly good Motorcycles then you should watch Delboys channel.

Another Moron to avoid is Chase on Two Wheels channel.
You would get better advice about motorcycles from a Cat than that Chase Moron & his crew of Gobs**tes.

Yesterday was a day I wish I had a Mill or knew somebody with a Mill.Even an old HF Mill would have made cutting unwanted bits of the FZ1 top triple so easy.

But I guess if Allen Millyard can build a V12 Kawi with a Hacksaw I can lob off bits from a top triple.😁🇮🇪😁

My neighbour Young Matt Onufryk created this Awesome artwork for me & stuck it in a frame.
It's Brilliant...I L❤️ve It.
Thanky Matt.

When Barry "Stabbed me in the Back" and went to Yamaha to say I was so F*¢**n Upset is putting it mildly😄

I ripped my Bazaar posters and the 100+ clippings I had cut from MCN & MCW off my bedroom walls.
🙄😄🤔

Barry was my boyhood hero and he rode Suzukis & my first Bike was a 1968 Suzuki Sportsman 50cc in a beautiful "Snot Green" colour with the special Racing plastic trash bag seat cover.😄

The Bike was 10 yrs old when I got it but I F*¢**n L❤️ved that Bike.My friends had Honda Cub 50 with girly semi automatic 3 speed gear box but my Suzuki had 4 Gears & Clutch!😁
It was so loud ..it sounded like 50k Wasps cos the silencer shot out the exhaust on my first ride never to be seen again.🤣

Riding was mental cos me Da gave me a 2nd hand orange colour open face helmet that was at least 2 sizes too big but the biggest problem I had was the brand new flip up Bob Heath Visor that must have weighed 20lbs and it kept pulling the helmet down over my eyes🤣
To make me look 100% like a circus clown me Da had me wear a Red-Pinkish colour puffy style STP Jacket.😅😁😄

I found this photo on the Interwebs about 10 years ago and far as I can tell this is my actual very First Bike.

L❤️ve you Da.
L❤️ve ya Barry.
L❤️ve Suzukis.
👍🇮🇪🇯🇵👍

My Rex1200 has a few problems right now.It had an electrical issue which was caused by cheap ass Amazon connector block.The connectors were so badly melted together I had to use a Dremel to get them apart.😮

I ordered some new "Not S**t' connectors I should have them end of this week.

Rex also had a very slow leak from the almost new Adelin Radial Front Brake M/C.
Adelin is the best of the Chinese made stuff.Iv used Adelin Clutch M/C for the past 3 years and it's performed perfectly & never let me down.

I went thru my spares and came across one of my fav M/C ever a non radial (2001) Gixer 750 and now the Brake feels 100 times better than before.👍

I'm still having issues with the cooling system on the Rex. I found a lot of small black flecks in the coolant.
I think it's coming from the metal pipes in the coolant system.I will have to investigate some more to be 100% sure of the cause🤔

Féking Water Cooled Bikes
Give me the old Air/Oil Cooled Suzuki Motors any day of the week.😆

Lee Johnston's North West 200. CrA$H!
Poor Lee got really F****d up in this accident.

For my American friends, this is Irish Road Racing not to be confused with the Isle of Man TT which is sort of the same but different.😃
Don't get me wrong the IOM TT Races are Brilliant but I much prefer Irish Road Racing cos Im Irish & totally biased.😂

Watch till the end of the video to see Lees's accident. When you watch the onboard footage of the lap you can understand why Road Racers Love to Ride the Irish Roads.
I don't know any other way to say it but to me
"It's Beautiful"
The Insane Speeds..the closeness of the Hedges...F****n houses & walls... it's like Art in Motion.

The worst CRASH onboard yet?? Welcome to another video, in this video I will be sharing from start to finish what I have experienced since my crash on the 11th of may. Hopefully this vide...

I rode the Kwacker-saki out to Bob Lanpheres.
I was in the store checking out Kawasaki Shirts & Hats.
I would have to sell the ZRX1200 to afford a Hat & T-Shirt...😮WTF😮

Just fitted a Manual Fan switch to the Kwackersaki ZRX and not a moment too soon cos it's Hotter than S**t here today.😂

When my brother from another mother Lowell owned the Rex I can't remember ever hearing the Fan come on even when we did Track Day's and Lowell was riding the Livin B Jebus outta the Kawi.

I tour the ultimate dream workshop in Japan! Yoshimura Kevin Schwantz Wes Cooley Bright Logic Builds Touring Yoshimura Bright Logic workshop. Tell me you love motorcycle racing history staying alive without telling me….Hint: If you don’t share this one, you ...
