Some things can't be rushed Janet. (It wouldn't be a water cooled flat twin would it?)

Strange? According to the stats rangy65 hasn't made any comments at all?

Well i have got to say Paul that your bike is very impressive and an inspiration - especially as you do all the work in the kitchen or outside.
If mine turns out half as good i'll be pleased.

Re: Gear Box help needed
Thanks, your engine looks cleaner than mine! Looks like some polishing is in order when I finally get it back in the bike. Will have to put it back half assembled(just bottom end) and then do the top end whilst on the bike as it is too heavy to carry downstairs and get in the bike on my own fully assembledRangy65 wrote:Well i have got to say Paul that your bike is very impressive and an inspiration - especially as you do all the work in the kitchen or outside.
