Yes, she was a bit delusional.

Almost identical, a few local variations - antipasta misto has smiley faces, and artichokes get 3/5 years.

Anyone looked at the Saracen just posted for sale ? Wonder if the seller is Nigerian ?

Sounds like you've never been to Fort William !

The rules are irrelevant if Bou didn't get a five for stalling and balancing while restarting.

Bizarre comment.

No battery on mine last time I looked !

Had Boyer on a B40 for about 15 years, can't fault it. Easy to fit, time etc. Hardest job was mounting the "black box" which is about the size of a cigarette packet.

You sound like a13 year old girl.

Make a heat shield as well, preferably from carbon fibre to preserve the period look.

Unlucky, as these engines are VERY robust. Martin M could give you a price to rebuild etc, or buy another engine. Aprilia TX TXR etc.

Hi htrdoug, Swm clutches can be made 1 finger light with the correct bearings and ramp on the casing, also good cable run and the right lever. Alternatively, a Aprilia TXR casing or engine is the way forward, and has a much smaller flywheel so the performance is not so lazy.

Cheers Woody. On my bike I have moved my footrests down and back, lengthened the shocks to 395mm and dropped the forks 10mm. Steering is pretty good,as it now stands. I have just picked up a new frame and plan to steepen the head angle, any pointers would be gratefully received.

Cheers Woody, any figures for footrest position and steering angle ?

The relevance is, take a twin shock, revalve the forks, change the steering angle, completely change the exhaust etc etc - and its still a twin shock Bodge a couple of shocks onto an air cooled mono and your the anti christ.

Is this the same Woody that argued that montesa yokes, forks and wheels should be allowed on pre 65 bikes ?

Contact Boyer, they are really helpfull.

Thanks Patrik, hadn't realized how different the forks were !

Thanks Patrik, in the last paragraph you say the steering angle was changed with the betor forks, do you mean the design of the forks themselves caused the change ?

Thanks, think he's away riding a vinduro in France.

Anyone know if there are any difference to the steering angles between a Black 1981 SWM frame, (with full mudguard loop) and a 1983 Blue frame without rear frame loop ?

A bit unnecessary. So Robs bike is 1965 factory fresh ?

Your pockets are pretty deep George, it's just the pocket / arm ratio you must overcome !
