Mike, how critical is the orientation of the carbs? Look upright by eye or something more sophisticated?

Mot’d and taxed

I’ve been out today done 60 miles,
Twiddled a few bits and it’s lovely.
I’ve asked on the thread as to perceived value with no response..
The bike is now residing in my home workshop.
You know how much these things cost to buy and restore.
Feel free to pm an offer.
My good wife an I will be going out on it tomorrow evening for a bimble,if she likes it,it’s staying,

Good to hear you actually get to have some time off occasionally!

Update on the GSPD I bought from Mike last week:

I took it to the Bakewell Classic show today.

I am sure Mike will be pleased to know it won first prize in the 1990's category. :thumby:

Glynn of this parish brought the Norton and BSA next to the GSPD and his Rocket 3 won a prize.

First bike accident since 1976!

Thrown for some distance resulting in hairline fractures of hip and wrist.

Out of hospital after 2 days and walking again (with a stick) but the hip injury has resulted in Sciatica. :blast

Thanks Colin,

Hopefully, I will be riding the G/S as soon as the Sciatica eases. :thumby:
