Welcome fellow old brit bike rider...

No need to batten down any hatches. I regularly give them all a good thrashing so they have learn't a bit of respect :eek:

Or last night as I was peering into the Triumphs crankcases....

That was me wot mentioned the Goldy with the 4 valve top end,I don't think it was a home built head but adapted from another bike,pretty sure it was a XT/TT600.I haven't seen it since I got my digital camera,but it was very well done,unless you are someone like me who is attracted to BSA B series crankcases like others are to the sight of bare breasts it wouldn't even raise an eyebrow,just some old single y'know...

[ewekay]

thanks all for the welcome :D i'm in coventry, right smack bang in the middle. i'm interested in acts of ingenuity with bikes which i suppose is why old brits flip my switch. there seems to be more you can do with them if you have the inclination and some ability.

off to wales for a few days now to find some sheep to make you kiwi's jealous :D

[toads]

hello and welcome, there's nothing wrong with old british bikes, or old stuff in general, and ingenuity is a wonderful thing, enjoy wales, My grandmother lived in trelloch for some years and my aunt lives there still. cheers Lucy
