Hi ewekay, welcome to the KB site.

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

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...

thanks all for the welcome

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

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
