Try adding a little extra oil to each leg. There was a problem with the SWM forks (not the Betor ones) where a washer on the damper rods got twisted and allowed the oil to pass. Remedy was a thicker washer with other dimensions the same. You have to make a tool with a tapered end to undo the bolt at the bottom of the fork legs.

Some changes are for the better ? Before the West End car park was reclaimed, where did it start ?

It also appears to be touching the exhaust on its journey.

Its only started and finished in Fort Bill for approx 30 of its 100 years !

Solvoautosol from Halfords etc usually works.

Someone will give you the definate answer, but the oil would tend to be forced to the back by forward motion, so that sounds more likely.

I go for a ballanced diet - a pie in each hand.

My Bultaco certainly had a cable operated brake, but it also had a gear shaft that went right throught the engine so you could had the gear lever on either side. First thing I did was to get rid of the cable and put the gear lever on the right as the cable brake didn't have the same feel, its routing was the probem. PersonalyI would learn to live with it.

Try charging the battery. Check earth connections.

Change your fuel, drain and blow out carb, fresh fuel.

Man test ! man test ! I'le give you man test - starting with an easy one. What is a Vampire and where can it be viewed ?

A Hurricane/Spitfire (cant remember which has round and which has square wing tips) just flew over the house going to East Fortune for the air show this weekend. East Lothian and had Fife had numerous airfields to protect the Forth Bridge and Rosyth Dockyards etc. There was also a hidden air field that was disguised as a road near Haddington, where aircraft were assembled from kits and flown out to wherever. East Fortune has an aircraft museum which includes a Concord and a cutaway sleeve valved radial engine that will rotate, and a cuttaway Merlin engine. Worth a visit if your that way inclined.

Thought it might be this Dave's Farm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVJHfLibCb4...feature=channel

Did you ever build it ?

Not Daves Farm ?

Go for it.

Hi Ham2 You dont have may positive things to say about Scopra, however a quick look through the current threads throws up few of the carbs pi**ing petrol main bearings gone again stator etc etc I will need to check the bet, but I'm sure it was 12 months from date, pheonix / French industry - same thing !

No expert but just sounds like you have connected an earth wire instead of a power wire.

Perfection in an inperfect world.

Hi Donald, your looking at the tee shirt model, I know you are, admit it, go on........ waiting.

Some interesting "dirt" bikes ! http://www.odgie.com/_mgxroot/page_10789.html

Always best to do one thing at a time.

I think this has been covered, cant remember exactly but think there was interference.

To labour the point, the similarity is geographical. Two quite different events, different rider profile, very different bikes (though your BMW may qualify) different perspective.
