Cardiff Bike show
« on: April 08, 2018, 10:46:09 PM »
Got a 'Highly Commended' at the Cardiff show.  First time I've been awarded anything at a show.
Removing the engine and refurbishing it paid off.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

Also at the Cardiff show were these creations.  Very reminiscent of Alan Millyard's engines but made decades ago.

That BSA  V6 is something. Well done on the show result too.
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Thanks for all your kind words.  I couldn't have done it without some help from the experts on this forum.
