Bullet bitten - go on, you know you want it.

More than Dodger could usually do........

 

Well, there's one way to make sure you win this sweepstake ...

I'll have you know that this was the third Sunday running I've had it
running.

also - the Suzuki *started*. 4th kick. It last turned a wheel in May
2001.

 

£1781

 

Oi sweller, I saw this and thought of you. It's already too highly
priced for me.

I think that bike needs sweller more than he needs it.

 

Not my cup of tea but it certainly looks original and would polish up
nicely. I reckon it'll go for over £2500, maybe nearer £3000.

I have a feeling that Guzzi prices [1] are going to start climbing - not
to insane levels though - as, IMO, they've always been under priced.


[1] For the right, original, seventies machines and not heaps of
shit, obviously.

 

Blimey.

had the SOBoxer out for a play on Sunday. It's down on power and has valve
rattle like a bloody vincent. I guess I ought to do the valve clearances,
at least. It's also burning oil on the right pot, which probably means the
valve guides are getting tired.

 

or the valve guide seals have hardened with age, especially if its been
parked on the side stand a lot

Not sure it has any. Book makes no mention of such...

book also says frightening things about replacing 'em, including heat the
cylinder head to 250°C and that to remove 'em, you have to machine the top
off the old one to get the retaining clip off it, then drift it out, press
in a new one (with the head still hot) and then, once it's cooled, ream to
the correct size.

I think that lot adds up to paying someone else to do it...

 

Blowlamp, angle grinder, bigger 'ammer.

 

hehe. Might look into whether any of the specialists are doing recon heads.
be easier in the long run.

 

Speaking of which, how's the shed-on-wheels auction going?

 

if you refer to my auction for a fine, sought-after vehicle...

's up to 1010 as of a recent glance, with 9-and-a-bit hours to go. Also a
couple of people who conatcted me have not bid, one at least sounded
interested and was interested enough to phone up and discuss it for quite a
while.

summink like 48 watchers.
