Indeed.

There is something about old farts who have been playing together for years that is quite unique, and really nice. Anyway... Having posted a link to "Made in Japan" (in my opinion probably the best live recording ever) I got to thinking about "best albums". Amongst my favourites, the common factor being a certain David Robert Jones, these two: (not actually my favourite song on the album, but one can hear Mr. Jones singing backing vocals from about 3:40) and one from the man himself and perhaps not one of the "best ever", but certainly worth mention and a product involving the said Mr. Jones But when one is on the subject of "best albums ever", is this one unavoidable, albeit on a completely different track ...

Very nice, and nice to know that they kept on going. Al Jackson's cousin isn't quite the drummer that Al was. He took about half of the song to get in the groove, I reckon. But maybe it was just a bad moment. What I mean is how, in a really grooving band, not everyone is actually right on the beat. A good example is this: the drummer is just a bit ahead, the bass player is on, and the guitarist is just a tiny bit behind. That is how the magic happens. And as far as Hammond players go, the best ever. And a nice bloke into the bargain, a real Gentleman...

are generally more interested in selling new vehicles than keeping old ones running. Jus' sayin'...

It's your fault, @docc and then I went looking where the song (which I quite liked when it came out, when I was about 13 years old) came from. Following the chain, I inevitably landed here. I've actually got this version on a DVD called "Remebering Otis" which features an Otis Redding concert in Europe, and the backing band were these blokes.

Indeed.

Unaccountably, that reminds me of this...

Someone is already on to that...

To be honest, I haven't been there, but as far as I know, that could be true. They don't call it "The Land of the long white cloud" for nothing.

In the certain knowledge that a centering tool is required to re-assemble the clutch on the big-block guzzis, and that my clutch may well become due in the foreseeable future (the bike has about 70,000 km on the clock...) I bought one of these when a bloke in the German forum made a batch of them and offered them for a very reasonable price. I think I am now beginning to understand how it is supposed to work. Thanks very much.

Stein-Dinse and Wendel too... https://www.stein-dinse.com/de/search.html?grp=&searchStr=01114390 https://wendelmotorraeder.de/ansauggummi-sp1100iv11brgr_gu01114390-p-1034021.html?ref=expl I bought some only a couple of months ago. From Wendel, I think.

Are you quite sure you weren't in New Zealand?

Why is it a project? What needs fixing? Don't you dare cancel the fairing, or put handlebars on it instead of the clip-ons!

So obviously the first thing to do is make sure the charging system is working. That description is consistent with riding off with a freshly charged battery on a bike that isn't charging. Battery runs flat after a while, and the bike stops running. I'd say there may well be something else happening, as not all of what you describe can be immediately blamed on the charging system, but make sure that is working first. If it isn't, there is not much point in fluffing around looking for other issues until it is sorted.

Don't worry, the laws will come along. Just a bit too late to stop the annoyance in the first couple of years.

What that man said...

Wow. I'd love to hear how that thing sounds.

The talk of that Freeway brings to mind the A5 (Autobahn 5) between Darmstadt and Frankfurt am Main. Four lanes each way, if I remember rightly. https://www.google.de/maps/place/Frankfurt+am+Main/@49.932901,8.6127622,69m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x47bd096f477096c5:0x422435029b0c600!8m2!3d50.1109221!4d8.6821267!16zL20vMDJ6MGo?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAyMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D I'm not sure that it is still the case, but it used to be unlimited, i.e. no speed limit. Interesting...

Even one would be annoying if the pilot were anyone else but me. Same as the "package delivery via drone" that got some attention a while back, i.e. that Amazon, DHL & co. could deliver to your house with a drone. Might sound convenient for the recipient, but I really do not want to see that happen. Apocalypse in the air is a good description...

No doubt it was. I have the impression that some of the ribs have been "reduced" too, though it is hard to tell from the photos here in the thread. That would be to save a couple of grammes, I guess...

Not quite. A Vespa is, and always was, since the first version in 1946, a scooter made by Piaggio. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vespa

Yeah, could be, but intermittent apparently. From what I have read, that is not entirely typical. Having said that, mine starts first hit sometimes, and sometimes it takes several hits on the button. When it doesn't want to start, there is only the one click, not repeated clicks. The thlot pickens...
