Replaced all the turn signals and swapped in LED headlight bulb on my Rosso Mandello. Sourced clear blinker assemblies from aliexpress for $5.00 per pair that fit well with minor mods. Ended up removing the signal extender blocks from the front of the bike for a tighter and cleaner look.

He and Tom would likely get along . . .

I did manage to scoop a couple images of Pressureangle's Charger from his Gallery . . .

This You Tube guy cracks me up. He's done a lot of interesting features on specific cars. But he just released this about Ducati. I hope you enjoy it.

Get rid of that clutch for starters and pull the selector plate off the gearbox and have a look at the springs. The crunching is a by product of miss selection and too much difference in the relative gear rotational speed. Bite the bullet and ditch the clutch though, the risk of an exploding flywheel is too great. Its not like when they fail you just get a bit of clutch slip,what you can get is half the engine/gearbox taken out if it lets go. Then you may as well scrap the entire bike. MG cycle sells a replacement steel single plater. Ciao

Saturday, after a long time, I managed to finish my V750SPc and finally be able to drive it. A very different line from when the V750SP left the factory, but after an accident I could not rebuild it with the same aesthetic and I made it "C" using pieces of at least 10 motorcycles. Nevada, California, Benelli 125, Harley Davidson 883, V65C and others have donated pieces for it to come as you see. I hope you like It!

Are we talking about cars again? Did I mention my new project? So I traded my Corvette. It had 130k miles and was worn out. I had it for 17 years so it was time to go and besides, the family didn't fit in it. I managed to trade it for a 1967 Mustang convertible. Although the Mustang is going to be a lot of work in the end I'll come out ahead. So far I've managed to pull the engine (and sold it) and get a welder. Both necessary steps. I will be replacing a bit of rusty metal but I do like learning... the hard way.

Or 3 more V11, that's 8cyl but still hard to beat a Sox & Martin 426 screaming at 7000rpm, IMHO. Best cure more IPA. Cheers tom.

At $900 the pair, fixing dented Staintunes might very well be worth it.

Got to admire you rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in there. The sleeve on my mistral is proper knackered though- badly torn. The metal is so thin too, it’d take a tig-wielding Gandalf to fix that. Plus the finish on them is a dull matt, so I’d think tricky to blend a repair. I’ve got the carbon ones on now anyways. It can be a right bummer if, like me, you fall off occasionally! ‘Oh arse, there goes £650 again”
