Looks like not a lot of fun.
Go large on Solvol, I see the value of it's shares increasing.

Where is the best to advertise a 1925 Indian Big Chief (without sidecar)?

The CB 750 sprang in to life this avo. Thanks to all who offered advice.
I took the carbs off and cleaned them again. I'm not sure this had much
effect.
The CB750 has a vacuum operated fuel valve in series with the manual

The donor SL I bought came with a set of brand new, boxed, indicators,
so I've just bolted them on and started on the engine casings with
Loyblox and Solvol, as they haven't seen a polish in decades, I reckon.
Coo, this bike is coming up a treat, so I went for a 15-mile bimble this

I could see from the pix that it's utterly unmolested, and so it proved.

Well, as ever, there were a few bodges. It seemed to be running leav,
and I could see a small gap between carb and inlet manifold casting, so
removed the carb. Someone had put in an O-ring that was too thick, and
hadn't bolted up the carb tight.

So the 2007 Ulster GP was a wet one, so wet in fact the last two races
were cancelled. There are many fields to spectate from, the first one I
chose at Leathemstown Corner had me calf deep in mud. Later I found
