If you've got time check out part 1 of the Superbike interview with the ex Spondon partner. If any of it is true and I guess it is, not just sour grapes, then it's almost unbelievable.

Re: The scam that Norton turned out to be
Unfortunately this kind of thing has been going on for years and until rules and laws change line CEOs like Mr G will continue to pad their nests. No mention of the S.African safari lodge/hotel. That's probably out of BDO's reach🙄. Who needs 6 Astons! He'll lie low for a bit when all this is sorted ...

Re: Whats cheered you up today...?
That looks fun. Strangely, very similar to a Triumph special built by the PO of my VTR. It wasnt a Polish guy from Chertsey was it? His was same colour, similar seat, pipes and chainguard. It was also very loud apparently!

Re: Whats cheered you up today...?
Basingstoke and back. Lovely to be out in the sun even with grit on the road....slippery in the shadows tho'. Doesn't like choke to start so sounds like new starter valves are needed... Took a while to get going in 6 deg.

Re: Brexit shite
Yep I was a leaver vote, for the reasons on page 1 of this thread. Germany lost the war but still wants to run everyone's show and why are the top guns at Brussels from the tiniest least contributing countries...dont get me started on the huge increase luxembourg enjoyed a while back....oh they'd be...

Re: No fuel, tons of smoke, won't start
That's not good. If it was fuel and it got started I'd expect black smoke eventually clearing. White is oil, can be grey, depends how much its burning. Check the plugs and crank it with plugs out and rag over holes. Is it oily? Are the plugs oily/wet? Only time I've ever seen proper white exhaust sm...

Re: Royal Family - Yes or No?
Oi! That's my cousin albeit 6 x removed😁. Seriously her gran is (was) my 5th cousin, so not the royal side. Despite that I think it's time they were slimmed down as as for Harold and his Mrs keeping a freeby pad over here, supposedly one of their demands, let them pay for it. I listened to someone l...
