Yeah, from talented people like this to those who ask questions like "which way do I push the A/R lever when starting?" or the immortal "which oil shall I use?".
Motorcycling is a very broad spectrum..

Bluddy'ell Talking of lathes, I spent yesderday afternoon trying to get my old Seneca Falls to run better. Trying to get all the alignments and tensions right so the belts stay on the pulleys. If anyone thinks old 'bikes are difficult... try an old lathe !  *work*

Getting things as far forward as possiblr before my op on Monday ...
Engine well on the way, and frame now finished. Had to lower the frame 1/2" to get filter out and cut out two BSA engine mtg lugs. Added a pair of lugs up front and two underneath to locate the new engine. Also cut off the old tired stand lugs and welded two new ones on. This morning (sun shining!) I gave her a sound coat of two pack. Hope it dries before rain ..... Apparently a shower is 20% possible.

Dear RDfella,
I just cannot wait for an update and find that there is none. I need to ask and hope, it is OK for you: how is the project "another vee" going? I wonder, how the framework is doing and which set of carbs found your choice eventually. What kind of tank will you use and so on, etc. etc.
Thank you in advance for another chapter report.
Best regards
