Rozabikes Tim:
Well done Ted. Great to hear your news after such a well documented build we have all followed. Expect to see you with the knee down when we get a warm Derbyshire!

Happiness is turning on the fuel and the carbs don't flood :).

Sadly the 750 is far too heavy for me - I've pretty much decided the Maicoletta idea will be too much pain due to the lack of parts.
I'll never say never but - this 500 might be my last build - if I am tempted it will be something smaller or even another 400 at a push. Space issues would mean my existing 400 would have to go. Not sure I could handle the separation it would be like getting a divorce.

well done Ted, a great feeling when they burst into life.
DomP:
Great news Ted, I'm not far off getting mine on the road now, just some small tweaks and cosmetics.

Great news Ted. When you’re knee deep refitting the kickstart mechanism and primary shaft this moment seems an age away. Well done and let the tweaking begin 👍
