Advanced warning of hot summer weekends abroad.

Take the BMW and we'll do a straight swap at the circuit.....

I've decided the Beemer is going to Cray Engineering for the "Full
Monte". You cab ride it after all of that is done! Shame he has to be
in the middle of nowhere, Sittingbourne. Then again it could be
collected on the way to Chimay.
Any UKRM's in that vicinity?

'Hog

 

It's very close to where I work.

Here we go again.....

 

Not too far from both Gatwick and Sittingbourne; I could collect and
store if needs be.

I thought you boys were in Tunbridge area? close as in under a 2 hour
ride away close.

'Hog

 

Sittingbourne is near Canterbury. OK, not "very" close, but maybe 40
minutes' drive.

 

So it's my fault you got the joke then? Don't quite see how that works
somehow.....

 

Schweet, a plan unfolds!
I shall talk to Cray about a date next week.

Twin plugs
Gas flow
40mm carbs
Valves cut and replaced
Compression ratio
Cam reprofiled
Reverse cone megs

Be about the same as my 100S cafe racer in the early 80's, they fairly
fly but this will have decent brakes and better cycle parts!

*Whimper*

 

Must be nice to have money and imagination about how to spend it?

 

Indeed. I'll never know.

 

The Older Gentleman emerged from their own little world to say

Liar

 

Well, I've got the imagination. But not the cash.

 

Come January, bar the twin plugs, the Guzzi will be in a very similar
spec.

Oh, there won't be reverse cone megas as it's running open Contis anyway.

 

The Older Gentleman scribbled on the back of a napkin:

Not far from here either...

 

Looks like thats when I will have to start the summer hols then .....

 

I /may/ miss Chimay next year and give Chemnitz a whirl instead.

 

It's just a matter of converting assets into cash. Ebay the kids before
they're too old to have a say in the matter. Not only will you make a
cash saving, you also have lower household overheads and can buy
whatever bikes you want.

Ignoring the post post editing......

The whole shebang probably won't put me out more than a grand. I paid 2k
for the bike and some 200 since. Not a whole lot of wedge.

It will be a bike worth maybe 2500 at the end of the job, the premium to
get the 100RS BMW might have produced and that I always wanted is
reasonable.

'Hog

 

Contis, Hmmm, there's a thought.
