Re: Klapton V4

One has to admire the engineering and dedication in producing a 'Mad Max' machine like this.

But only it's mother could love it :roll: .

Re: Square Four woes....

I used to change the oil in mine every 1000 miles and strip the engine every year. I was doing around 20,000 miles per year when young and footloose !
I had to sell it when work took me from a Somerset village to a top-floor flat in Edinburgh, I still miss it.
It would be a pity to see this sold as ...

Re: Annual rally (?) pictures from long ago

I spot Dick Henry and Colin Craig. I should probably recognise others but my memory is fading.

1972 was my last rally, I moved from my parents house in a Somerset village to a top floor flat in Edinburgh and sold my bikes!

Re: Wanted : Bantam toolbox lid

Well, I found it - a two-hole toolbox + lid marked 'D7' :(

Not what you want I'm afraid.

I acquired it in a box of random motorcycle bits when a neighbour was helping to clear a deceased friend's garage. It's of no use to me so . .

If anyone wants it, just shout !

Re: Wanted : Bantam toolbox lid

I may have one.

I'll look for it later & photograph it.

Don't hold your breath ;) .

Re: HT5 Rear Wheel

Have you got the spacer on the inside of the speedo drive that allows the centre to be locked, whilst allowing the driven part (with the tongues) to rotate??
