You'd be amazed what can fall down the mouth of a carb, especially when the bike is on display at a meet or show and there are little kids around.....

I like that classic look, I can smell it just by looking at it.

The old fella looks like Andy who owns the classic bike shop in Suffolk - it isn't but at first glance I thought it was.

:thumbup: I haven't watched a IoM Lap for ages - brought back a lot of memories from trips there with my Dad (I always end up trying to spot the location I crashed, somewhere near Churchtown I think, I never really found the exact spot)

He had a couple of moments, I think around 7 mins he squeezes between two slower bikes and that made me wince as well.
Like riding at Yas Island on newbies night :D

Absolutely beautiful bike, and probably the best sounding of all the 4 cylinder race bikes of the late 60s/early 70s. I saw Kel Carruthers and Renzo Pasolini at the 1970 TT riding those bikes and it was glorious to behold and hear. I think we were at Parliament Square and the sound was reverberating off the buildings.
