Bob.

Yes,Yes, definitely

Its side valve rally time, so I've spent a bit of time getting a few things fixed.
Clutch needed a good decontamination and the side stand needs a spot of welding, the 45degree angle the bike had was too much for my nerves.

But my most important job was to make my tow hitch
A ship chandler provided the stainless bits which I bolted onto the side car mounting with a spacer.

I'll try it later and see if it works ok

See you there!

Dave says he's booked some descent weather Rob.

Not too bad, pulls ok

Packed up ready to go, just waiting on my riding buddy,

Both started with full tanks from my place with full tanks


Both filled up up again 80 miles later on

I used a £1.00 less, fuel the Alan's VB go figure

No more fish & chips + soda pops for Alan








sorry, could not resist !

Your exhaust pipe isn't blue either. That's unusual for a sidevalve. They are not noted for their economy. You must be doing something right. Nev

Just luck I'm afraid Nev. Can't pretend I've done anything particular tuning wise.
