Re: Some interesting 3 wheelers

My mum learned to drive in a Bond Minicar. I remember dad having to kick start it, and the smokescreen it let out when it eventually started. I used to be subjected to it courtesy of a wicker child seat lashed sideways behind the seats. My main memory though is of mum not straightening up (or not be...

Re: What's a Type 1 gearchange like?

My T1 has an almost-straight bar from the lever, which passes above the tunnel to a bellcrank/rocker assy connecting in turn to the Guzzi change linkages on the 'box. It did take a bit of setting up to reduce the lost motion at the joints and ensure everything was working as close to 90° as possible...

Re: The Noisy Tappet Saga

Re: Founders Day 2023

I’m unlikely to attend this now unfortunately, if anyone would like the wristband giving free entry message me asap and I’ll post it same day. Dave I did try to sent a PM re. the wristband, but it's hanging in my outbox. If it's still available, I'd love to take it off your hands/wrists. Cheers.
