The tank seems OK danny. Have repaired the hole where the fuel leaked from. I’m only buying fuel from BP or Caltex now. Cannot trust the others for their fuel and what it contains.

My mate and i had a result today, we started the ’61 Norton ES2. It was running a little rich, theres a buckle in the rear wheel. At least the motor and gearbox sounded sweet.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_Odztfd81k this the link to the video

Yeah progressing well enough, but i did want it to have it finished by now. As there is a National BSA rally next month, (In South Australia) that i wanted to take it to but i dont think i will have it finished in time and putting some miles on her. Looks as though i will have too take the spitfire. As work is just too busy at the momement. The Norton wont be long before i give her a try to start it up.

Still waiting on some parts. The tank is all done. Although i've had trouble with one side where the badges go. It wont fit so i've done some fiddling for the time being. I know, another repo part.

Bike of the month: 10 months, 4 weeks ago · Viewso whats the procedure? I’ve not voted as yet. How many bikes are we voting on each month? As i would like to see all the bikes before i put a thumbs up on my choice.
John,
You can vote for any bike once, up or down. So vote for them all if you like them all, this will eventually rank them in order. We can see how it goes for the first month then make any adjustments.

Sorry for the long delay, Have been busy trying too get the A10 Plunger done. The BSA you see is from a guy who loves Beezas, He has joined 2 single M33 motors to make a ”M66” one he has done in a ridgid frame the other a swingarm frame. This will be a racer.
