Sorry, messed up my capitals - should be 'Big Head Bullet', of course !

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. ... https://youtu.be/qtiVIcGkg6Y

Wow, what a difference! It sounded awful, especially when you shut off and on the over-run. And that 'tinging' when ticking over, I guess the pellets in the tank were some of these snake oil octane booster products?

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

At least it did not sound as bad as this:-
