you did

because they are all going slow and have a certain amount of respect for each other. otherwise it would be carnage

points should never spark, so I recon its the condensor. Its job is to "iron out" the excess current through the contacts to make the spark jump at the right time via the coil you will also need to check the points contacts now as the sparking is a bit like arc welding and will errode the surface of the contacts making adjustment impossible.

the spitfyres must have spent £100's of pounds on that, even though it did look good. loved the series 1 camper, coffin dodgers and usane bolt. the devil women were also great watching the driver's terrified face as she descended the course

sorry I'm in Manchester (cottonopolis)

Right, getting somewhere now on this selector fork what I need is the fork to be stellite welded and reground to specs. What I need to know is, does anyone recommend anywhere that can do it? All i can find is some multimillion pound dynasty who would charge the cost bike to do the job Drewps

It was on Dave last night. I was crying with laughter at their antics

true

great report Bips and its always an adventure what ever you do on any bike I did 650 miles in the pouring rain, not fun but it had its moments

I'm up for Lotherton Hall on 28th July barring Hurricane weather. its not far from Squires and has always been a great show for me. Rod from CCM always appeared there!

what a load of bollocks, how can you claim property rights on a ride around town? just call it something else or ignore the letter

where's the camera phone footage? Joking aside that's pretty major thing to happen John. At least your all safe, I bet that 10 mins lasted a lifetime (which it could have been)

a little update; found a Yoshi end can on eBay and trial fitted it. Needs to go up a bit more before I finally weld on the link pipe fitting.

no probs, I bought a set of drifts for bearings years ago and they've been a godsend

HOGHTON TOWER SPRINT is on today, unfortunately I'm air rifle shooting with cubs @Bowley. should be some great machines there., Last year there were Vincents, rotary Nortons, RD250 (very fast and loud)

Kev, wheel bearings are generic, prob 6263 or something so get them from a bearing place (there one in Bolton near the scrap yards) if you need a hand doing them give us a shout and I'll call round after work

have a look in the eaves too. Look for evidence of damp and make sure the guttering is sound and not skewed. Unless they have a damp proof certificate, the valuer will always insist on having a damp proofing done no matter if its damp or not (cheeky feckers) its to protect themselves not you.

excuse me, that was an epic drawing of an epic nature.

WTF? Foamy can do better

where's the ac/dc music then? that bike needs a good thrashing IMHO

the Tank, sidepanels, swingarm, chain guard and forks are painted silver and the original tail is silver too. Pat, I have two rattle cans of wheel silver for free so I have given them a once over to see how I like it cheers, i got the bike cheapish a few years ago but love the Italian styling. If he don't take to the bike I'm not too worried as its been great working on it not spent too much on it either.

well I just modified the z400 rear tail bracketr and also bought a new Moto guzzi lamp from Germany and had to mod that too. looking pretty good now just needs painting silver to match the rest of the bike

John, the seeds of doubt have been sown......
