When you get the urge to compete, this is probably the most suitable club http://eastneukwobblers.webeden.co.uk/ Essentials,allan keys, a few spanners to suit, pump, spare tube / dog turd tool, water proofs, boots, knee protection, gloves, helmet, food & drink. A sense of humour.

Apparently it has to leak oil. Brakes don't work. Won't start. Heavy. Anything else ?

Apparently Andy's got a new electric cooling system.

Think segs are more reliable.

Greeves Scottish, I think.

A good analogy, there's a lot of sheit talked about wine to ....

Ten to eight ?

Could it be "designed" out ?

Do you think it's easy to get a good spark at low revs ?

Would you expect to get a grand for a Fantic in a similar condition ?

Look on motoswm site, all models/years shown. Looks like 1980 to me, metal tank, marzocci forks, rear frame loop. Behind the front no board is a plate that (if original) gives engine and frame no' s, also engine size and year. If numbers agree, rest should also be correct. Magical springs are aftermarket fork springs/shocks, that should be very good if the price is anything to go by !

Gori for sale on wobbly wills.

If converting a mono, the bottom shock mounts are fairly straightforward, the top mounts take a bit more thought. Mono frames were not designed for loads in the area of top mount, and will probably require strengthened.

http://www.motoswm.co.uk/shop/ Martin has all the info, and most of the parts and is real authority on all things SWM. 125 pretty good for a 125, but 240 and 280 better and more common. One real weakness (on a badly maintained bike) is the kick start / shaft, if used when slack will damage both. Otherwise just the usual things to check on a 30 odd year old bike. Many are well maintained as they tend to attract the more discerning and intelligent buyer. The kick start can damage the clutch case if a stop is not fitted,and clutches drag as standard.

So you ride a 4 lap trial, swap bikes on alternate laps, simples.

Look at Axulsuv' s profile, it might well stand for that.

Bet you know what MILF stands for.

ONO, is similar, but not quite the same as - OVNO. Ok ?

Any pictures ?

Merely pointing out inconsistencies arise. Ridden and enjoyed The Captains and Waterside, but wouldn't compare them to Kinloch, totally different.

Carbs must be Amal, except if you've a cub, then it's ok to have a Dellorto !!

Early SWM's were about 30% more than the competition.

I've missed this happy banter.

Une petite pause.

My comment wasn't far off the mark, if your using it in competiting you would probably have the bolts well below max torque, and if your not ---- it doesn't matter anyway. Edit to say, nice looking bike.
