Thanks again.

Good Morning/Evening/Night to everyone on here. Its been a little while since I posted and seeing as I have just put a post up on the transmission section I thought i would do a quick update on here...

Hi Folks, i thought I would put this up as a new thread because I searched on here for something similar by a previous poster but couldn't find anything

As I mentioned on my build thread, I need...

Hi eric, I have been distracted by other stuff so missed this thread on your Honda. The bike is going to be absolutely awesome and I cant wait to see it progress and be completed. Its also good to...

Hi Jerry, thanks very much for the feedback on your experience on this event. I had thought that a well prepared eligible bike should make all the miles with just routine maintenance and you words...

Hi Jerry, thanks very much for checking in to this thread. When I started it I didn't expect it to become a debate on if cheating was prevalent or not but it is good to know that you didn't see any....

Some good points there Skirted.

It occurs to me that the simplest but to cheat on might be the quiz (not that I am suggesting that anyone IS cheating on it, just hypothetically) Here in the UK...

Hi Kevin, I did follow Doug's account of his unsupported Cannonball at the time. I think he posted updates on AdvRider.

I am not particularly into boats but would love an old airplane. Either a...

Hi Jake, thanks for the reply and the links/tips on who is posting updates on their various SM. I will check them out.



Me too. I would like to do the Cannonball too but with minimal backup...

Hi Skirted, I missed your post most likely because I dont check in on here every day.

I agree with your posting. Also I note that the FB and instagram videos are also on youtube.

BigD cycle is...

Hello folks, I am sure that I am not the only one who is trying to follow the "CCC" from the comfort of their armchair.

I thought I would put a post up because I haven't seen one on here yet...

Thanks for the info on small details which I appreciate. Its the small things like that that help you when someone claims something to be original and also to date anonymous parts at an autojumble....

Thanks for the link Eric, I hadn't seen that site before.

I have read a bit about hydrogen embrittlement previously and springs seem to be something that are very prone to breaking after plating...

I had some time off from other stuff today so decided to have a tidy up in the shop and then if time permitted have a look at the 20F. Before I did anything I thought I would give it a couple of...

Thanks for posting this Steve. What a great nugget of family history.

Hi all, in the UK there is an annual event at Malory Race Track called the Festival of 1000 bikes. It is organised by the VMCC (UK equivalent to AMCA). Amongst other things anyone can enter their...

Brilliant Steve, thanks for the answers.

Now that you mention it I remember you mentioning the headlight previously. Electronic ignition makes sense and the rear fender and rear light look good...

That is looking great Steve.

Here are some questions that come to my mind,

Is it magneto or coil ignition? I am guessing coil?

What do you plan for lights and horn?

Footboards or...

Thanks for the tip Steve, I have made two that seem to work but I might get one from Colony as well so I can see how they are supposed to look.

Thanks Steve, The house is great other than a couple of carpets and some paint it is good. The garage/sheds that are with it are the things that need the most attention.

Hopefully I will be back...

Hi eric, thanks very much for your reply and I am sorry for getting back to this late although I do have an excuse (see my build thread for why)

I have that Bosch document and it is not the best. ...

Haha. They were prophetic words. A lot has happened in the last 7 days but nothing to do with old bikes

First thing was that I was as sick as a dog from Saturday evening to Sunday afternoon, not...

Hi all, since last posting I have been busy with anything and everything other than old bikes however I have some time tomorrow and my initial focus will be on getting the carb right.

I have...

Looking good Steve. The shiny nickel and brass on the tank fittings will look great once the tank has been painted.

Since my last update I have mostly been unwell with some horrible gastric bug which has meant that little progress on the bike has been made. This is doubly annoying because the bug has coincided...
