    from east of the pond and north of the continent.

    So I've upgraded to a viffer and it doesn't disappoint....until I start fiddling with it. So I'd like to thank you all in advance for your advice when I cock it up ;-)

    Starting with that airbox screw that just fell out while I was changing the filter. And bounced off something. And vanished. And an hour later is still MIA.

    So I thought I'd check the carb slides with the the filter off, (and the silencer off)......how good does that sound!!!!!!

    Mercifully the screw fell out with the new filter in place so it's not in the cylinders.

    "if it aint broke, fix it till it is"

    Blimey...another one of your guys here. You guys are getting to be as bad as those damned Canucks. Welcome to the site. But you cannot be considered a friend until you post up pix. Do so at your earliest opportunity lad. I was over your way last year. Matter of fact, I think our coach went through Brighton but I can't say for sure. It was a whilwind of a 14 day tour but it was truly great. Your architecture is simply georgeous and I love how well maintained your old buildings are. We tend to build things over here to last 70 years then tear them down before they fall down.

    cheers fella! I reckon I should loose the neon rim tape...but the hi-level pipe looks nice... sounds bloody good anyway.
    So... re-do the bubbly wheels in black or white or other?

    Kinda like your bike just the way it is Richbike.

    Was brousing through the picture gallery a while back and came across this bike.
    It's one of my absolute favorites. Your bike looks very similar.

    Love the color of your bike, & to be honest the rim tape looks good on the bike as well.

    Ride Safe!

    FWIT new plugs and airfilter sure make it run smoother!
