Hello!
« on: 30.06. 2016 04:48 »
G'day all,

I've always been into bikes but only recently gained an interest in old British bikes, thanks to Dad inheriting Grandpa's 1950 Golden Flash (with Dusting sidecar).

Thanks to a recent episode of overheating, I've pulled the head and cylinder block off to investigate. (I'm a lot more confident on the spanners than Dad, and a bit more confident than I am experienced!)

I'm in South Australia, enjoying the great motorcycling weather at the moment!⛅️💦😕

(I tried to put up a photo, apparently the file was too large)

Nice to hear of a dusting outfit and look forward to you managing to resize it small enough to fit (1.6mb approx I recall) and upload

Keep the chair on, the dusting is an Aussie Icon.

Don't listen to those solo riders, its always nice to have a bit on the side  ;)
They just have never experienced a good 3 some  *shh* ...wheels that is

If you need any advice with the rig, sidecar spoken here!

A sidecar is a lot of fun and a wonderful excuse (if needed) to have at least 2 bikes (one solo, one sidecar).
