Interesting article about a chap who restores triples called Neil .Apparently if you want spares the best time to call round is Sunday morning the earlier the better

You can tell that guy is wearing a wig!

There's gonna be a queue this Sunday morning at Neil's then

I`m not that fat in real life !!!

It gets worse. Had a stand at Stafford Bike show this past weekend. Went off to bog for a slash for 2 minutes, got back and I`d just missed James May . He`d been sent over by Dave Orrit of Z1 fame to ask about having a Triples restored, and I missed him !!
( apparently the lads holding fort while I was away were well impressed. The bloke from Top Gear just came aroun and said ! Is Neil about ? " ) I`m bleedin famous me !!

Oh yeah. By the way, feel free to rip the piss out of some of those things he printed.

It`s been cut and pasted till it makes little sense to Folk who know about this stuff !!

For the record S"`s are my favourites , not H1s. And I DON`T approve of boring out rar 72 cylinders to 350cc !!!!!

Yes i spoke to James May and he said he had looked for you. I did not mention the weak bladder!

I told James May best time to get hold of you was at home 6AM on a Sunday morning

That gives me nightmares.

Talking of nightmares, did my stand arrive at yours ok?

On its way back today Steve

Thanks Neil. Any tips on how to get the main stand spring back on without injury?

Brilliant! you even get your money back. So how did the factory do it I wonder. Afterall the Yen was worth next to nothing so their coins must have been tiny.

Probably the same way any sane person would do it.

Hook the spring over it, then use the stand firstly as if its a catapult , then as it`s own lever against the spring coil strength ,to slot it onto the frame.
I can`t explain it any better, so if you don`t follow, stick with the pretty pennies routine !!

nowt to it

Now that bloke is definitely wearing a wig.

the man from lancashire has the correct answer

and wolfie !! a yorkshireman using money !!

Only a Yorkshire man would use coppers and not 50 pence coins and if your really flush two pound coins.

My stand arrived back from Neil's yesterday. Fitted back on today. No coins (skint) so I used the brute force and ignorance method. Perfect. The rear wheel's off the floor. Its easier to get on the stand than the H2 and that's a doddle.
I can recommend Neil's engineering if anybody else has the same problem. In fact I might join the happy throng outside his bedroom window this Sunday at 6.
Thanks.

good news Steve.
sometimes it is enough to fix the problem. Sometimes even straightening the stand isn't enough on its own. As the frame stops can take a hammering too , and then it needs a blob of weld to take up that slack . glad yours was ok.
