[QUOTE="Len Matthews, post: 51288, member: 178"] A long time ago when Reg was still in the UK he was beginning to make a name for himself on the circuits with his ride-to-work Rapide. I met him during TT Week. He said he thought that the Rapide's Big End was on the way out but didn't have the finance to replace it. I offered my spare flywheel assembly but wasn't sure how I could get it to him. He said "No problem, I'll come and fetch it." At the time he lived in Shepton Mallet down in Somerset and I'm in Essex. So what does Reg do? He borrows his wife's Honda CD 175, rides to Essex, loads flywheels in top box and after a cup of tea, turns tail and heads straight back to Somerset. Not only was that journey after dark, the weight of the flywheels in the top box can't have done much for the Honda's stability! [/QUOTE]
