Hi guys------ and a collective "thanks" to you all, and a belated "Sorry" to STEVE M as we appear to have done a slight, tangential hi-jack. Great vid BRYAN ..Looks like you had a wonderful time out there and I particularly enjoyed the most apt music.... I really miss my old Guzzi 1100i California and those Carberrys seem to have that same , lazy kick-in-the-pants torque so beloved by ( and here we must whisper this name) H-a-r-l-e-y owners.( Give 'em a nod--- I always do, just to wind 'em up !!) I used to upset my HD-owning neighbour by holding my right hand up with two fingers open, and in-line with my nose }--- "That is how your HD engine is in it's frame" I explained. Then, turning my hand through 90 degrees and raising it up & down slightly ( Plus cheeky grin !!) I would demonstrate the Guzzisto's view on things.... He-He.---- I'm currently running a 1997 Suzuki Marauder 800 VZ, great bike but not quite the same thing.( Ex-Canadian, imported via the Military and has the Suzuki equivalent of the Enfield PAV system.)... OK, that's enough from me--- cylinder head to re-fit plus test ride ready for a run to Malvern Three Counties Showground this Sunday for a "Ride-in" Classic car & Bike Show plus Autojumble( the best bit, really---oh, and a burger and hot tea on a cold winters day !).YUMMY.
