[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 138096, member: 60"] I knew at the start of this lock down that I needed a long project Ben was 25 miles away with the racer so I dug out a bike that had been in my shed for 30 years a set of pipes I had for 40 years and a gearbox stashed away since the early 60's It was a bike whose engine came from the Mc Candless Bros (Fetherbed) of NI and it had been modded, raced and tweeked so little was standard I think the words are "And now for something completely different" I certainly met some challenges some (stuck clutch flywheels) solved on here, some frustrations some silly mistakes, learnt a lot, had help from Marcus with some bronze turning and made new contacts and friends . Not that it finished yet :rolleyes: a non standard sprocket/tooth/chain caught me out before I got to the rollers. but its getting there. An interesting diversion from Vincents [ATTACH type="full" alt="1619075386444.jpeg"]41712[/ATTACH] ,raced [/QUOTE]
