Excellent.

Nice to see that the BSA's are burning less oil than the Triumph! Is that a rib in the background? Why not get the outboard running as well. I think you may have started something here - how many classics can you get running at once!

In fairness, I had had both the BSAs running already that morning so they were well warmed through whereas the Triumph was starting from cold. I was particularly impressed with the Bantam though - It hadn't been started since November and it fired up second kick!

It's not a rib in the background, it's actually a roofbox for my car! However I DO own a couple of old outboards and you have just given me a great idea....
