Hi guys--------- have just ridden a new ( to me ) 1967 BSA WD B40 back from GRENOSIDE, Sheffield via Ladybower reservoir, The Peak District, Ashbourne, Stafford, Telford.........The sun was shining, a support car a half mile behind me and all that lovely countryside to take in............BLISS !!.... Have you guys seen WAYNE the movie star ??..Have a look at our hosts short video about their dyno and the 535 Continental on test ......PS}--- My No.1 Bullet is awaiting a new big end to be fitted whilst No.2 is still being turned-out as a 1950s' Army Despatch Rider bike in Desert Sand ( Suez Canal period )...Purely a "Might-have-been" as they didn't exist but will follow contemporary paintwork, markings etc........For example the bike's "Cxxxxxxx" Reg.No. stencilled on the fuel tank along with a regimental badge....... There is also a radio-telephone ( similar to the ones used by the Police in those days ), Pyrene fire extinguisher, collapsable entrenchment tool and a pair of binoculars !!.................................Keeping on-thread I think the Hitchcock Look is easier on the eye...It's still early days yet in terms of the models weaknesses and foibles so owners, get out on The Queens Highway and look like a streak 'o Lightning !! ie}--- Motorbiking !! (Uh-oh, I feel a song coming on............. YEP, try this for size and hum it whilst racking up the Conti. GT mileage}--- WATCH OUT FOR THAT YELLOW MINI !!!!!!!--------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4ic1E2aViI ----------
