Thats a very good looking bike. I just love lightweight 2 strokes
[as well as heavyweight 4 strokes.]

At least the beers cold!

[That igloo is well impressive]

Thanks guys for all your comments.

For now I'm going to put it back to standard air filter and cans. Then wait till I can afford a proper PC.

[Although, even living down in Wiltshire, its too bloody cold to do anything bike wise at the moment.]

Absolutely f****n brilliant! Thanks I really enjoyed watching that

Nothing wrong with it, but todays MotoGp/WSB etc looks tame in comparison.

Been looking at one of these on ebay as a cheap(£35!!) alternative to a Power Commander.

The write up reads good, but thats as I'd expect.

Has anyone here got any information or expereince of them??

From memory, its cos Dot4 absorbs moisture more readilly. So you have to change it more often.

First attempt at a picture.................

Hi Sirch Velo stuff is getting ridiculously expensive, although there isn't much you can't get if you're patient and prepared to pay whatever to get it! I do make stuff if I can. Luckily I now have a fair stock of stuff. Keep saying I'm going to sell some of it but............ Although the rigid fra...

Beer and keyboards never mix well!

3 Wheeler may have been a Berkley (front wheel drive ,Villiers 3 cyl 2 stroke and 8in 2LS front brakes).

Its getting hot here - must be my anorak............

Sirch The Velo is a 1948 KSS - 350cc overhead camshaft - rigid frame. Had one when I was 18 or so and always regretted selling it (as you do). So bought one a few years ago and refurbished it. Currently building another, plus nearly finished a Velocette Valiant (200cc air cooled shaft drive flat twi...
