    <speaks slowly>

    In fcat, one whole one, and almost a complete one in spares. Plan is
    to keep all the good bits, sell the lowest spec one and the spares I
    don't need, be quids in *and* have a much better bike.

    We'll see.

    He posted about that, some time ago, IIRC.

  6. It's a plan with no flaws...
    I'd guess that any "profit" will be lost in buying heaters
    for the garage...

    No! Really? And I thought I knew it because I'd intercepted his

    *ding*

    not just the front door.

    I leave the house in the morning via the back door.

    I only need to triple check *both* doors, if I'm the last one leaving
    the house.

    go figure.

    Me: Moto Guzzi 850-T3
    Removed the V7 type Traffico Seville fairing
    Just on the F/RH disc, because the original started to leak. I really
    should get round to doing the others but there's another 6 @ £20 ea...

    Will do them when I fit the four pot brembos
    Pattern Dunstall Decibel silencers. When these rot out (12-18 months) or
    I next crash a stainless system is the order of the day. But the Guzzi
    breathes very well on them ATM.
    Don't know what this is but I'm planning on 'altering' the heads and
    fitting balanced 1000-G5 pistons and barrels
    That was achieved with 40mm Dell Ortos and K+Ns
    On top of the Suprissa generator, Rita ignition and P3 cam which its had
    for some years it will be 4 pot brembos, new F/LH disc, new Konis,
    Mazzorchi forks, LM spec heads, G5 pistons and barrels, balanced rods and
    large bore stainless exhaust. About £700 I reckon.

    Or I could say bollocks to the brakes and chassis and just go for the big
    pistons and head.

    Not me; Elly.

    FZ400 Rat.

    Modified upper and lower crankcases with a very attractive ventilation
    aperture. So attractive that the big end decided to sample the
    outside air ...

    Opportunity to make something, certainly. With anything that will fit
    - or that I can bend the frame to allow to fit ...

    Yesterday afternoon, on her way home. At the top of a suicide-laned
    big (for Bedfordshire) hill; at the point of maximum stress as it
    were, where two lanes become one just as the hill crests and turns
    right. Just where you really wouldn't fucking want a large piece of
    black somethingorother to fly past your left knee, followed swiftly by
    vibration and hyuuge clouds of white smoke and accompanied by a
    complete lack of forward movement.

    Now, does anybody have an engine I can purchase (cheaply, natch) and
    slot in there? FZ/R 400/600 for preference, but will consider
    anything 400+ that will physically fit ...
