Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th April 2012

this years Thundersprint is on 13th MAY. Drewps will be there in the Cavalcade along with this beast. V8 Guzzi only 6 in the world, built 1950's and did 178 mph!

I like big and little nips

Peter, It says member on top of your avatar and professional means you are paid up.

I'd try and borrow a go on your other dreams to see if they stand up. I met a few peeps whose dreams became nightmares especially harleys!

what's with the double post?

what's with the double post?

a cracking ride through Cheshire on the A50, stop at little chef near the A500, then on A500 to A34 to Stafford. A few years ago I rode into a freezing fog cloud and saw my hands ice over like the movies. cool

its 4 "speed" = gears, so not far away

that's why its called 4v V = vitesse = gears although if I was called Allen Millyard, it may have happened

aye, I welded my all of my tracker with an oil cooled arc welder I bought from machine and mart in '82

I usually go, not sure which day though as work may change plans

so what are highway bars? somewhere to put your feet?

Its finally arrived, I can't put it off any longer. I have finally made a start on the little Gilera here's what I found with the frame Oops its broken what's that smeggy thing on there? cut that thing off and read up on slugging the frame off the chopper underground I lost my lathe virginity today, and it was great. There is something cathartic about cutting bar on a lathe. It was a bit daunting at first, as it had a plethora of knobs and levers but I soon picked it up. Apparently all the kids just put a programme in and watch their steel take shape. I did it the old school way well my new slug fits great and just needs welding up with the engine in situ to make sure everything fits. those plates are next and I need some 5mm plate to remake the main stand rests.

well done, I looked at buying a V50 in the early 80's, but as it was my only mode of transport I settled on a cx500. I didn't regret it, but now those 850 le mans.....mmmm! great fun building, look forward to even more progress. Is it a resto or an "interpretation"?

wow, that's nice. Love the exhausts too there's dirt quake in Coventry speedway track on 19th May. Might be worth a trip on it there!

nice one

doctor doctor pleeeese.

some more phone video there was a couple of Norton rotaries there, 1 was an F1 but it wasn't running right IMHO. there was an amazing pair of weslake supercharged beasts, that set the tarmac alight till one threw a rod.

sounds great to me too. I've been driving very defensively in town as there are a lot of CBA drivers around.

yea, thanks for the heads up

BWJ are you there?

yep, notebooks are absolute min spec for anything!
