Unless it's out of test and we do things proper like. Edited to add.. Dunno why - it just is.

Not quite right there...

A Triumph (or any old Brit bike) goes..... spud-spud-spud-spud

Should be...

A Triumph (or any old Brit bike) goes..... spud-spud-*cough*-spud

(rofl)

Unless it's an old BSA which goes...

spud-(wait a minute)-spud-(wait a minute)-*wheeze*-(wait a minute)-spud

British bikes being oil free is akin to having a French car with good electrics. Narnia.

If I put road gearing on my old Ariel and drove through town at 30mph in top it would fire every lamp post. But that was definitely a puddum.

But it didn't leak much oil........ burned a fair bit but was pretty dry underneath.

Ahh feeling all sad now, I miss that old beast, 600cc single in a Greeves frame, leading link forks which went UP when you braked, that took some getting used to. Had to sell it to buy a 250 to stick Lplates on.

I am never right but at least I am trying
