As poor as a church mouse. nev

Hoo roo means see you later in some parts of NSW. Nev

Trad Jazz for ME. Nev

After ALL's said and done. You can bet London to a brick ON.. Nev

It grinds on like it's inevitable. Why do the Muslims all want to go to America and England or Europe?? Because it's a BETTER place to live. IF anyone "escapes" to another place they go after them.. Nev

Plenty of my mates are running the best of the imported coils and carry a spare. You can fit it in 20 minutes with your eyes closed (almost). They easily go a couple of years if you don't leave the ignition turned on.. The same coil fits back to 1929. They are originally full of Battery pitch which helps cool them and seal them from water. If it's chromed, paint it flat black. Oil in them would help. but I've never done it.. A lot of people test them wrongly. The spark is ONLY from one lead to the other. Never to earth. Nev

Probably had the rear tyre pressure too high.. Not many bikes of the period had a more comfortable seat. The military one has the seat further forward which is not a good idea. The ground clearance of the foot boards makes it easy to ground them on turns. Plenty were raced on 1/2 mile oval tracks against 500cc OHV's..Nev.

Telly is a great Technology, wasted. Nev

Fix that so it doesn't. It'll stuff your back. Use heavier springs. The rear on dirt with corrugations will fishtail on the 45's so don't overinflate the rear tyre. The forks and frame are very well made. Harley mechanicals are much better than Indians except in the Veteran period .. The last Chief built used essentially the same gears as the1918 Powerplus did. Nev

Put in doesn't care about property and LIVES lost. He makes sure He's SAFE. Nev

It's been done B4 but with ONIONS. I like Harrison Ford. nev

But when they are FAR away the don't FAR Cu. Nev

Only 2 Indian types were used in England. 'The 1200 cc Chief model 340B and the poor performing 500cc 741B Both are vee twins, relatively heavy and have LEFT hand throttles and gearchange on the RHS and left side foot clutches. The WLA Harleys were never officially on the UK register and the equivalent WLCs were used. Same is in Canada. The brits were going for lighter Bikes all the time and these US bikes were different and although comfortable and reliable, they were heavy and thirsty and mainly used for road work. Convoys messages etc. They were sold but I doubt they were scrap. The 741 was grossly underpowered. NO Harley had a left hand throttle. THAT was exclusively an INDIAN thing going way back. These bikes now are worth about 34000 for the smaller ones and 50,000 for the U models 90,000 for the Knucks GOOD and original. Regarding the BSA you mention some of things like that were IMPRESSED but the M20 BSA was one of the most common military bike s around. Also one of the Most uninspiring in many ways. The sought after bikes after the war when muddy motorcross started to become popular were bikes like the ARIEL W/NG 350 OHV and the G3L Matchless with telescopic forks (copied from the BMW bikes of the late 30's.. Nortons 16H 600cc sidevalve was one of the BEST Brit bikes with a "DRIVEN" sidecar wheel combo. ALL bar the 2 big Harleys easily affordable. The Knuckle head might go sky high as they doat times. IF you want one all bar them are affordable. Nev

I'm more familiar with the other two queue's. I don't go NEAR CU's. Boring but safe. Nev

The Quality of the WAR model Harleys wasn't reduced at all during the war and some knuckleheads and UL's were also used in the war but to a very limited extent.. I've had 2 brand new 45 Engines pass through my hands in tropic proof condition and they have to be stripped and reassembled to get rid of the hardened wax or whatever it was. ALL the roller bearing fits were right on the Mark. Nev

it's great when you can have a war and not even admit or declare it. Lie to the UN and chair it' Break every supply agreement Use trade as a weapon. Threaten to Obliterate England etc etc. Nev

What you HAVE access to should be celebrated.. IF you have HOT running water you are better off than 98% of the world's population so STOP Bloody whingeing. The MORE people get, the more they WANT. (NOT Need). A week in Lebanon would focus your mind. Nev

Yeah the real output and speed would be more relevant. The WLA is detuned as supplied by lowering the compression also I think your heads will have a 5 stamped on them. You can take abut 1/8th of an inch off the base of them to get the original WL compression same as the cast iron headed 39 model

Geez that/s Bl@@dy OFF. Nev

Don't kid yourself. You feel hot . The engine is only less than 20 degrees ambient different to a cool day. That position is near the BREATHER where all the fumes end up. How Hot the heads and cylinders are doesn't matter. The WATER comes from the combustion of the hydro carbon fuel and gets down into the crankcase by Blowby which side valve motors are good at as the heat is very uneven near the exhaust port and it warps. Nev

I don't think it's 25 years in NSW but if you don't do many miles it will save you a fair bit of money' IF there are extra rules like 12 month club check I'd go for it to save the expense and it's an all over Australia thing now. The "Delicia" is not a bad thing, just a bit narrow. Most of them were "grey imports" coming in through Queensland.. Nev

It's a bit of a racket if you ask me. Maybe they read the bible where it says JUDGE NOT Lest YE be judged? Nev

Tell him to smoke more, then he'll probably stop.. Nev

Blondes should mount a class action lawsuit against how they are depicted. Nev

Bother? Nev
