This time
of year there is not much happening for the vintage motorcyclists. Most are at
home working on their projects and try to keep worm.
So when we
got an invitation for a garage meeting with the boys with pizza, drinks and technical
challenges. We were in for a great evening….
The “runners”
where out in the cold garage for the occasion:
Some people
have spotless garages; here you can have your dinner at the floor…
Ariel Red
Hunter……We will soon have a look at the engine for this bike.
Ardie with
Rudge engine and Burman gearbox. This rear old racer is soon reborn.
I can spot
one engine out of line…..
Ducati Cucciolo,
50 ccm of brute force….
Steady on
with the drinks boys…..and yes, I do think the Suzuki GS750 is faster than a BSA A-65….
We were put
to work….The main topic of the evening was to dismantle and diagnose an Ariel
Red Hunter engine.
The reason
for a sore head…..and a worn head….
We all have
different skills, some like to hit things.
This was how
far we got. I think we have to be invited again!
No more
Ariel engine work…….Let`s eat!
I hope Hans Torvald remembered to recycle his
thrash. It`s so
easy to throw a Rudge engine in the paper bin…
We were
asked to sit down at the toilet…..Why?
