[QUOTE="Matty, post: 95700, member: 1339"] Hi Seems you have done a great job, but at the other end of the scale from mine, which I try to keep looking like it did in1956 when I bought it to go to work on. I do around 3,000 to 4,000 miles a year now and after a couple of engine rebuilds (last about 10 years ago) it still runs beautifully and is very reliable. Will be riding it 240 miles to Liverpool in August for the Manx rally for around the 40th time and do not expect any serious trouble (I do however carry a spare mag and ATD) Have had around 60 Japanese and German bikes over the years including Honda Fireblade, VFR 750s and K100 etc. but still think the COMET the most user friendly for everyday use.
