I had a little get-away this weekend with the wife to Victoria. Along the way I dropped of my Lester Wheels to a polisher to sort out before I do the final powder coat.

While away we had the great opportunity to have dinner with Cliff ....aka "Magpie" and his wife at a recently opened pub that they had not been to yet.

We sat 1st in an area that was to loud to hear one another so we moved and found a "completely separate" BIG room with table for 4 in front of a fire place , and private covered/heated balcony area.

3 hours later we said our good-nights

Thanks for a great evening in Victoria

Cliff on left , me on the right. Man that was a nice place to hang out

Cliff? I don't know the city that well, but it was an old bank building downtown.

That's taken on the patio off the Library Room of The Bard & Banker pub at 1022 Government St. The Library Room seems appropriate for a couple of cultured guys like us, eh?

In my opinion the perfect fairing for that beauty would be one of these, fro what it's worth, having spent top dollar on all kinds of other goodies putting an Emgo fairing on it just doesn't seem right. Thats just my opinion of course it's still a fantastic looking bike.

Just banging around tonight looking for a photo of my bike for something and I came across this post again.

Anyone ever see a photo of this on a bike? No email address on the site and they are in Scotland

Are there any photoshop experts that could overlay it on a side shot?

seaweb11 · « **Reply #685 on:** January 22, 2010, 11:34:27 PM »

Never mind. An hour later I patched something together. hmmmmmm

This bike has been fun, but has had it's charging and carb issues. I have had to feather the choke while riding to get just the right touch.

I have tried changing up the air/fuel screw a couple of times now with not a lot of success and then I give up for a while, 1 1/2 rotation out, 1 rotation out etc.

Today I took her out for a spin with a small screwdriver in my pocket. This time I started with the screws 1/2 turn out and rode to the village. Still not right. next , tried 3/4 turn out on all 4 and POW!! Leaving the gas station I do an accidental burn out! I believe I have it hooking up correctly

It lights up at any rpm now

I'm not the brightest bulb in the house, but I was happy I had some success today.

It's the little things...

Stick it on EBay Derek, it'll sell as long as you don't go mad with a high reserve. Cheers, Terry.

Fill in what I am missing here..??
You were enthusiastic about building this bike..
It has a few issues that have to be dealt with, nothing real expensive..less than you can lose selling it.
And then you say you are thinking of working on other peoples bike..

I am missing something here..

Are you going Suziside on us...??

seaweb11 · « **Reply #697 on:** April 29, 2011, 08:45:28 PM »

It was an exercise in design.
It was a great learning experience, time for some new ones is all

It has no issues to deal with.

My garage is full.
