 It runs and have had a brief ride.

 A few minor leaks to sort and the tappets rattle a bit but pleased.

 There is vid on British motorcycle mechanics and the Bsa singles and twins sites.

Neither of those links work for me at the moment. I'll try again later.


I've now signed up to both groups. Hoping to see more videos of the Beast!

Wow. I'd really like to see the video, but the birds have already eaten the faint trail of bread crumbs we might have followed to find it.

Well, I had to join the FB group "British Motorcycle Mechanics" to see the video of Dan riding the bike. Sounded great. How easy/hard was it to get started?

Fortunately I'm a member of both BSA Singles & Twins and British Motorcycle Mechanics as well as my own clubs page. This only means not enough time in the shed.

Good one GB.
I haven't been able to follow it on facebook. I've been kicked off because Musk Rat isn't the name on my drivers licence!

You told me that before and I didn't get it then. What is that about; I've never had to produce my drivers licence for FB?

They want us to use the name we use in everyday life. They got rid of most of the animals that had a fb page. Most of my friends of 40 years don't know my name only Muskrat/Musky. So phu(kem.
