Thank yous....

Heh - like you'll get a pass for that matey boy <huge hugs>

 

No worries luv, the corner did tighten somewhat ) , anyway thats what
pegs are for isn't it?

 

AOL

And thanks Lozzo for organising it.

 

My pleasure Jack, nice to chat with you again. Thanks to you and Champ
for hanging around chatting with me for the age it took to boil the
second round of coffees while evryone else had gone over to Dodgers
point.

I *must* fit the new tyres that have been sitting in my garage for three
months. And replace the brake shoe linings while the wheels are off. And
fix the brake light switch. And......

Beginning of summer of course. But Pretty Please Loz, not the second
weekend in the month. That's twice I've had to get away sooner than I
wanted to make it to club meetings.

 

Heh, it was great to hear it being used at full throttle on your way
back in.

Heh, it only pops on the overrun with mucho revs now. The soot must've
blocked the airleak

The gearbox is good though once you know it. Champ hit a false neutral
or two, but I never do. You just push it all the way throughit's long
travel and it goes in every time.

The squealing brake is just cying out for new linings...

 

They all rattle like that sir.

 

I thought it had a different rattle this year, maybe.

 

Hmm. I'll check tappets while I service the Magneto.

 

heh. As god intended.

It was excellent, definitely grin factor 9. Once you'd sorted out the
g/box it pootles along most adequately.

I think I went white the first time I tried the brakes, as I wasn't
sure i'd make the turn in to the BH !

Strange that a shite old vintage bike turned out to be the most sought
after CIHAGM bike... !

Cheers Rog.

Oh aye, 28 throbbing horse power there y'know

I nearly fluffed it on arrival too.

Well when my Knees mended I'll have lots of choices next time

Anytime mate, and I will look out for a SOB for you. There may be an
earlyish A65 BSA for under 2k if you are interested...

 

I overtook a car!

 

Eeep, never want to go on the DiscoBandit. Sorry Dnc, nothing personal
;-)

Thanks Darren for the blatt on yours, I wanted to try a normal one
out.
It had a slight reluctance to spin up, (engine, not rear wheel but
did have only 3800 on the clock. So me and Christophire generously ran
it in for him !

Heck of a lot of wind resistance and reminded me a lot of Bruces XJR,
however, Bruce's engine was a tad looser !

BTW, Oi YTC, where were you ???

Thanks again Darren. I know what it's like loaning out your new bike.

Cheers,

Paul.

 

More thanks from us. I ate so much I felt uncomfortable for hours.
Good it was. Bonus - the rain that came, went again.

I just say thank you to everyone, for something or other. I'm sure you
all played an important part in something far bigger than history would
ever dare to acknowledge, for now that's all that matters.

I myself was a little bit tipsy and didn't take notes... But there were
people there and I'm sure you all know what people look like, so that
helps.. Good job all round, well done.

So did I. But only because it was easier than trying to slow down.
