Why would I have my BSA in the backwoods? :P. I just hope it does not run backwards :-X or worse still the forks part company :o
Sorry again, slow day at the coal face ::)

I was trying to give you some hope,,,,
Although the wrong direction,,,wouldn't backwoods still be heaps faster than the last time you straddled a BSA??

I heard the last time you rode a BSA, that you accidentally lent on the fully catastrophic self destruct button::) :o

Which frame are you talking about, his original red bike or the black one he finished around the time of his diagnosis?
Hard to believe it will be a year next month since his passing

I have the black '74 C&J that Tony built & a lovely bike it is . Unfortunately I have trashed the gearbox - ripped all the dogs off 3rd gear - does anyone have any bright ideas on how to stop that happening again ?

Which ever comes passing by first.  :P  :)
Yes, one year ~ way fast.
Would of been very valuable to have more added knowledge from Tony's racing experiences if not cut short.
