[Norm]

Does anybody know if there is a forum for these things Anybody silly enough to put their hands up. I've scratched around a bit but not come up with much

Hi Norm: If you type `real classic uk messages` on Google, I`m sure you will unleash a torrent of replies from the IKBA(I know bugger all) crowd.
Best of British luck.

Norm, there is a Forum for the WD Fleas (remember, the only 125cc 2 stroke to properly be called the Flea is the WD one,) but I can't find the address at the moment. It is a Dutch site (in English) so ends .NL if that helps. It may be a spin off of Jan Van de Velde's WD Enfield site? In any case there isn't much there anyway, but still worth a look for some good pictures. REgards, Mark

Norm, like Leon says the IKBA site is littered with some very knowledgeable people and they will try and help I am sure. Easiest way to find them is to simply go to www.ikba.co.uk There are even some MadPeople there. Ha ha ha ha. Aren't there Leon.

Hi guys--------funny how two people both reading the same words can get different meanings ?? I read NORM's main title first ie "Flea Forum"--- then NORM said he'd "scratched around a bit---------- ",and LEON mentions the "IKBA crowd".. Ah-ha !! Mark M has just reminded me about the War Dept. bikes known as Flying Fleas.... so it's nothing to do with the passengers found on cats and dogs then ??------- I think I'm one of those MAD people as well !!---------- need to lie down-----------

Thanks Fellas, I had a bit of a look at the IKBA mob and not too sure what to make of them. I removed the coils and repaired a couple of bits one wire was broken and then I turned it over about a 1/4 turn and I got bitten by the plug lead, more like a flea bite, certainly not life threatening. So now I have compression and spark so might see if it will start today

Norm, they are eclectic mix of MadMen. However they are very active, and most of all knowledgeable and helpful. There is a degree of eccentricity amongst them, as can be seen at MadMikes gathering. It's a shame you are too far away to attend. Try asking them for help, they will help. A number of people from here hang out there as well. Incidentally if our hosts are reading this please be aware I am not trying to get anybody to move from this great site, but merely to help a board member. HTH.
