Indeed! We always enjoy funny stories with beer after work. They're (Boyle Kawasaki) gonna have another do soon. If it's anything like the last one, it'll be fucking awesome! All manner of people came out of the woodwork.
In the riders seat
He did some interesting stuff but even when he was a privateer he was well supplied by BMWBMW have Schek to thank for the all conquering early 80s Paris Dakar beemers
He rode the rotary engined bikes before going back to BMW
I tried on the front of an L300 van in 1988, it just fucked my exhaust and the threads on the cylinder head
I was looking at the twin to that bike last week just down the road from work

Andrew from TSS is one of those colourful characters too. He's full of good surprises.
Kasper belongs to him, technically I'm just minding it.
Low personal B.M.E.P.
I screwed the engine back together on a late cammer that had one side knocked off. Bit of welding on the cases and a s/h barrel and (lower compression) piston off ebay. Went OK but someone will get a surprise when it needs work, LOL.
Incidentally, if anyone knows the trick to keeping both cam chains on the crank while you button each side up, I'd like to hear it. I managed with a couple of pieces of bicycle innertube slid down the chains but I'm sure there's a factory tool.

Lol! Looks like a school metalshop project

It's kind of cool. I'd be very worried about this comment in the advert though
So close to getting on the road just needs someone with some fresh motivation and a little bit of time to get it road legal.
Which reads to me as: there is no way they would give it a VIN plate without spending a lot of coin....

there is a whole site that does kits for those bikes.
the café kits actually end up looking okay compared to what the std bike looks like.

Andrew Lawrence is a bloody nice chap, as is his lad.

And it's nice to have someone behind the counter who actually knows about shit they are selling and cares to learn shit. Jay has taken on the same attitude but it's still hard not to think of him as a pimpley 13yr old who never said boo. Must be getting old.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

he probably did when he watched the motogp start at the weekend

Knowing what I do about him, I'd say he was doing a lot of listening.

Was up for Buy It Now for $26500USD with no takers.
Now has bids at over $18k USD.
Nice bike. Worth that sort of money? I don't know.

Must be if people are bidding on it. I wouldn't think so.
