That figures indeed Bryan, I made contact with the sellers and they told me they will send it with the Post office.

Just got a notification it’s down to $100 dollars for postage about £80, that is shipped with USPS.

Thats a good price, i have a freing in nashville and a medium box is $30

[Johnny4428]

Well that’s mission accomplished! Now I can get my bike lift back!😡

There you go, told you it would be ok!

Tip. Never state that the part you are buying/ sending is a Fuel/ Petrol Tank !

Just note it as 'Motorcycle Parts'.....I have sold/ sent a few Tanks over the years and never had any problem when using that description - which is the truth anyway.

Of course the Tanks I have sold/ shipped have not held any Petrol for years and have been well 'aired' so they are basically just lumps of steel plate so there is no risk.

Yes Bryan you did say!🤭 Good tip regarding fuel tank posting as well.

Great to see and hear it running again Johnny - how many years dormant?  Will that be yet another of your exhibits at this year's shows?  A nice board with all that Orkney history alongside would be very welcome - at Dounby Show too.

Nice work Johnny, they sound so calm running, like a little mechanical heartbeat.

Testament too, to how well the design and materials originally made them so durable.

Class act Johnny, well done that man.
The sound of it reminds me of an Alan Millyard video where you can hear the gentle ticking of a clock in the background, very calming and no rush to do anything. Your engine sounds similar, maybe have it running in the background when working on your bikes (with the garage door open if course!).
