Alan,
When I was looking for another bike earlier in the year, there was a guy touting an original RC30 in its original box for £18,000. Its still a wonderful bike even now 20yrs on.
Marty,
You at 6' 4'' would look soooo funny on one. It would be a bit like one of them mini moto's but scary fast

Went and bought a proper titanium drill bit.......went through the rivet like a knife through butter :)

Cheers LSM, I had to add that seeing as my can's are from Scorpion :!:

I think the drive-by (as they call it) sounds the best, which is after the dyno run, it starts with the birds tweeting :!: I luv the deep sound as the bike passes 8)

Twiggy,
Dunno exactly how your inserts are fitted but can you put an allen key in the hole the rivet used to sit in and twist.
If its proper stuck, you'll never be able to just pull it out but twisting might break the grip

Alternatively, runt he bike for a bit and get 'em good and hot
Might find the 2 different metals expand at different rates, making it easier to get them out
NB mind you hands on the exhausts though coz they'll be mildly warm and we don't want the neigbours thinking they're living next door to a foul-mouthed lout!! :)
I've got an inferiority complex
But its not a very good one!
