Hi All,

Hope you'll have a nice Vintage week end without me...

Had my 1st run with her yesterday, went today to testing station to get MOT, argued again with the tester...(you need a brake light... No I don't...etc...) Got the MOT and free tax disc later.

These days, they have to weight what's being tested as well, 60kgs (132lbs)on the front end and 110 kgs (242 lbs) on the back, a 170 kgs (374 lbs) bike, full of oil and petrol, not bad for a H-D!!!

Off now for a longuer run to try to sort the carburation, she's way too rich at the bottom end but cleans up better up the range...

... and, hum, yes, she's very noisy when I open her...

Patrick

That's a shame, I was hoping to see it in the flesh as it were.

You'd only get a closeup of the rear fender if he DID bring it; should have fitted rear crash bars, Patrick, more to grip on when we're pushing it!

Have a good holiday mate!

Patrick won't be the same without you there tomorrow.

Thought you would have shown off your '54.
