Thanks for the ride, a bit unusual, as I was waiting for kangaroos to bound out in front of you.

Great, thanks Paul! The BH motor sounds quite different to the separate rocker box version, a lot less rattly. And that 3 part silencer sounds really sharp too! I have a BH motor to build a special, must get on with it.

Hi Mark, glad you liked the video. Just to demonstrate, here is the same bike in a 'Before' video, with loose fuel tank [with strange lead pellets inside], jangling against the cylinder head and with the two main studs beneath the engine and gearbox making a bid for freedom ! Regards, Paul. ...

Nice to see and hear one in original condition, its much quieter than mine. Our hosts happen to have on for sale.
