    In similar vein to the Cameron quote (and logic behind it)
    "A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week".
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    Since I've never been fast, I've built stuff because that is what I want to build, not because it is what I need to win. To do the latter it is much more effective to put a faster rider on the bike!

    Other good books by Vic W: "Classic Motorcycle Engines" and "Exotic Motorcycles"

    Trademe is littered with abandoned projects. Plenty of cars that have had the hard and expensive work done and need time and patience to finalize a street runner but get put up for sale under the title of 'new project so must make room'. Often a good deal to be made on these.

    Thanks Husa - just read all those TDC articles. Camerons genius is not just knowing (and explaining) the "what" but also the "why".

    If you have it, I'd really appreciate a look at the Cameron article about the Britten when it (the bike) first appeared.

    I'll put it up here later, when i have downloaded and edited it.
    Most of these are not scans as i don't have all the mags of this era, hence the cropping is a little hit and miss (sorry)

    Thank you. excellent read.
    Those 10 TDC articles should be required reading for the bike license test, so people would have a little more appreciation of why their bike does what it does. (or doesn't)

    I looked at the Britten attatchments and was amused looking at #6 where a road version was promoted. There is mention of an electric starter version already running. To the best of my knowledge this never happened.
    I had to see Mike Brosnan about something so dropped in to the Addington workshop they used at the time. I was immediately asked where i would put an electric starter...John had asked him to investigate one asap. I gave my opinions and we discussed various geared starters for big singles that i knew of - and various decompression devices too. Apparently John was reluctant to use any decompression method.
    At the time no one on the team had much knowledge of current japanese tech - and the circle of hangers on were BEARs enthusiasts.

    I was hoping you would tell the Kevin Cameron "undercover agent story"
    I found that one amusing.
    Page 6 I added, as it was in an article i seen in another issue of CW. There were many failed daliances with manufacturers such a one of the many Indian start ups Harley also expressed an interest. Pretty sure thay had a darn good look inside one.
    I am pretty sure i scanned the Britten write up Mark Forsythe did that had some very good pictures. (but i don't know where i filed it)

    I only just started reading it now
    Attachmnet 4 is interesting, As i recall it "Mike" built the pipes.
