I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

bikey has developed a bit of smoke lately. poor wee engine has been working hard keeping up with the big boys, since the winter has been pretty cold might as well pull her apart for a refresh.

rockers, head and barrels off. all looks good bore wise but have yet to measure. one exhaust valve looks too white.
wheels off for new bearings.
forks off to replace seals. one stauncion has a nasty looking scratch which will explain the leak. bugger but think I can repair that.
beer looking good now. :)

Hey Scunny....Without reading through years of posts...can you remind me what exhaust your running?  Saw the pic from back in 2010 and really like the lines.

Cheers, Joe

what do you mean you aren't going to read through years of crap.  ;)
It's a custom made exhaust by a guy called Ted Sagar. I used to get him to fab up a pipe for all my fours.

Well, that was a slow rebuild. had trouble locating new rings for a descent price, finally cruzingimage came to my rescue. new exhaust valves added since I had a spare set hanging around. Bikey started right up as it should and then it hasn't stopped raining since then. bugger.
