Muskrat,

Are those metric RPM? Sorry to hear of the hip troubles.

I see the loss of the orbiter as proof positive that metric has to go.

That's real thumping 10.5:1 four stroke revs Richard. It's hard folding myself up and the suspension too hard & very little seat padding. I should bring her back to std trim but I couldn't do it to my old race bike.
Cheers

"And spare the Historic BSA from the Torture "

Too right Viking.

 Keep the big speeds for the modern steed in the stable.

Well my BSA has been around 60 years.

Plastic bikes comes and goes, might be Quick, but only for a short time.

MY old brummi bike keep  going... Up to the Ton, but running for decades.....

With Imperial messurement, metric bearings and metric pistons   :-)
