I am trying to dump a few extra ounces that slipped on me, concealed within a box of chocolates.



As for mode of transport to the meeting, I guess we will both have to 'weight' and see.

Due to increasing engine speed related vibration at certain engine revs,it now looks unlikely that Tornado will be making the Kent REOC meeting tomorrow (Tuesday) night. We will be going to see Chris tomorrow morning for an assessment.

You will need to get there early to avoid the rain

[Scalyback]

Obverse is the front isn't it? Bugger!



Hopefully get there before the rain Les. Or I may check Tornado over, but nothing seems to be loose this time, so maybe the bearings are going? it is at certain small bands of revs that I get tons of vibration through the footrests, but only if on middle or no power when maintaining speed or slowing. If accelerating, then only a little vibration.



Any idea what may be wrong? I don't want to break my bike!

I'm currently tinkering with casting pewter.. if someone could lend me a badge I could try and replicate it?

Something I came across a while ago for poshing up car paint was "Britemax Black Max Ultra Fine Polish". Now this is for 'removing 4000 grit marks' to it's very, very fine, and it's also a metal polish. It's also rather fast cutting.
