Makes it all better when the v-twin alarm clock sparks into life when they're all hung over

It used to bea guy called Steve's house who looked the spits of Hucknall
He was one of the old skool last of the crazy type bikers, lots of biker mates round when i was in my early teens, mad parties, fireworks and bangers as guns, loads of bikes in the garage,
Then he met a woman and she got pregnant
Urgh that was the end of steve and the biker boys soon after he moved to spain

Turns out this couple are not students and this guy has bought the house, he's not renting it and he was personal trainer / sports nutritionist to James Toseland and does the PT for other racers
Dad's been out to get tyres on the blade and had a chat with this guy when he got home
He looks bigger than me and might be able to beat me up apparently lol
Just glad its not bloody students
funnily enough i'll be seeing james toseland tomorrow night at Katies concert in manchester so that will be something to bring up small world ey!

I reckon you only have to mention carbs and Carl is there. Wonder if 'got to clear the garage out, best take the carbs off first' will work....

Don't forget I changed the diaphragm springs over while I had the carbs off too.
Those loose bolts in in your bottom yolk where not good, well spotted.
I'm starting to take a dislike to marty's bike.

Apart from the engine. Why don't you take the heads off and have a look what's going on to cause you oil consumption. In fact why not take you frame off for powdercoating then you will have nice easy access to the engine. Investigate and decide if it's worth reconditioning or getting a replacement, depending on whether there is a lot of wear to the pistons, rings and cylinder walls.
You may get away with it just needing a de-coke, new valve stem oil seals, guides. Take the valves out, clean them up a bit and re-lap them in. And while your at it give the ports a light clean up. Or it may be a cheaper option to get a couple of ebay cylinder heads and chuck them on. But if it was me I would clean up the heads you have as you don't know what the condition of 2nd hand parts are going to be in and how long their parts will last

internal engine work is beyond my skills at the mo .
i need to do a compression test first as that might highlight the problem
regarding oil consumption altho it ain't that bad and manageable if i keep an eye on it .
at some stage i want hi comp pistons and cams but that can wait ,
but as my engine has done 70k i would ideally like a younger replacement sub 10k to use for that .
i also want to powder coat the frame/swinger and other brackets and wheels but that depends if i can get the engine out without cutting it out .
a new green paint job to .
the list is long but if i start now i would miss out on next years summer rideouts and maybe the year after to as i wouldn't want to do it in stages and money is tight as i'm not a big earner and its more of a toy and a hobbie for me as i have a car for transport .
