Roger i know your memories bad. You still owe me £400.

and me £300....

It is not that bad yet!!!

I either built or supplied parts for about three other guys who also raced in the same series as this bike. I cannot for the life of me remember who they all were!!

I would not mind winning it!!!

How sad! I had many interesting exchanges with him. RIP my friend

If your getting smoke from the bike when first starting then nothing to worry about, if when the bike is warmed up and you still getting smoke but its a blue-ish colour then it probably a piston ring letting oil through.

Thanks guys for the feedback - helpful as ever

LIFE IS FULL OF BITTER DISAPPOINTMENTS!!!

Roger, did you see the Vinnie Black Knight, in a multitude of bits that sold recently for £98,100! :crazy: I heard about it. I cannot imagine what my Lightening would fetch if I had not sold it for £450.00 to an American in 1967!!! £450.00 was a lot of money in 1967. I believe it was the first Ligh...
