Rab - reliability will ALWAYS be a factor with these My mate bought a brand new one some years back and road it down to North Africa. It blew up in Marseilles so back to the importers went the engine (in a hired Renault 5) and the put another engine in. That engine blew up in Niger so they took it out to have a look and it was stolen from outside their tent in the night He had to fly the chassis out because of the Carnet and then fitted an old BMW airhead engine in it and had it for years

Aye cheers Andy ah feel a lot better noo
This is actually the updated version with a 750 engine and keihin carbs.
That are supposed to be a lot better.
in all fairness it has been lying off the road for over a year.

Rob, if you need any help speak to Dave Angel (no, seriously, that's his name) at http://www.f2motorcycles.ltd.uk/

Have heard of the guy Klanky and been on is website,yer right enough theres not much the guy dizzny know aboot them.
To be honest it's jist a case of renewing some parts that have either siezed way lyin or in the case ow the carbs new rubbers and jets.

Good man, I look forward to buying a 'basket case' Urinal (for very little money) off you in a few months time....

 

[(RIP) Proff]

I'd love a shot o that, just to take my faither out for in essence probably one last ride. Would you hire it out for a couple of days?

He'd love it Rev

I was thinking the same thing for my old man. I would have to take the side car off thoughand replace it with something more resembling a boat so he would feel like he ws back in the Navy

I could use it for taking my Collie out too

In Sept '07, 'Gordon' and I were heading South near Shap on the M6 (on our way to Morocco) when we saw that outfit heading North.

It was being used by "Two Wheel Only" Mag who were on a run to visit the Lakeland cottage made famous in the film "Withnail and I".

There can't be more than one - can there ???
