Excellent - is it running well?

Must go for a spin round the hills sometime.

I'm just pulling my Walter Wolf RG470 apart to fit a 500 top end :D

Went to Cromford steam rally this morning with my son Andrew- some lovely stuff there - not much triple related though.

Got chatting to a guy who had a Dyson KH250 bought it in 1982.

Today I took a trip to see the worlds largest ski jumping hill, about 45 miles from where I live.
Current world record is 246,5 meters (809 ft).

Local animal charity pet food run today. High Beach to Goodmayes, Essex. Local BMF nominally organised it - only 8 bikes there, mine was the only two stroke/Kawasaki. One other triple - a Triumph. Got wet, then got baked in the hot sun.

I've been moving house, shop, offices Etc Etc for a while now, NO mean feat :roll: I've had a pals son helping me, a great lad, who actually restored my faith in "the Youth of today" - He had never been on a bike in his life, but, he was up for anything, so I said I would take him out for a quick spin :P Against the advice of several people he chose a helmet and gloves and got on the back of my . . . . H2c with the 120HP Gast motor :shock: The first couple of miles were "awkward" He sat bolt upright and, I thought on the tailpiece, a quick word of advice and the handling got a whole lot better Thumbs Up
.
So, a few miles in and were come across a Ducati 1200 Monster, the rider sees me in his mirrors and nails it, I suspect he was a little surprised to see me rubbing his back tyre at 100+ :wink: A quick check with Ben and he is doing fine, the Duc goes again, .. . and again . . . The back tyre on that thing was wider than my bike! He was hanging off the side to make it go around the bends, we were quite fairly matched as I had a novice on the back . . . oh, and a 40 year old bike . . . That has a frame as bent as an alsations hind leg! . . . - Eventually he gives up (I kid you not) I pull a 2nd gear wheelie past him and I feel Ben looking back to see if he is catching us . . He didn't :P :P :P
.
But he took a short cut and came out at the same junction, we pulled over and had a chat - a GOOD day!
.
.
And Ben ? what what his view? He was in raptures! . . . . . And on the phone to all his mates telling them that My bike was apparently "Ridiculous!" :wink:
Keep One wheel down . . . . .
