Hello "Chicago". Glad you've made it to the forum and good luck in your hunt for the dental appendages of that domesticated flightless fowl. I can tell you that it feels awkward calling you "Chicago", with me being the only forum memeber that actually lives in (really, very near) Chicago.

Hi Chicago. If you haven't already found a BSAOC Branch to visit, may I offer you a warm welcome at The South Cheshire Branch.

hi there manosound, cheers fella, ive now managed to source a quite nice 53 star twin with a 48 long stroke engine. really nice bike which looks like it was restored years ago and never ridden. i'll slam some photos up as soon as it decides to stop raining (typical english weather  *sad2*). yeah, chicago's not my real name its just a nickname that my brother gave me when we were kids playing cops and robbers and it just stuck. anyway all the best and take care. chicago.

Gidday Chicargo, Geez mate how'd ya do dat, barely even finished the sentence "looking for a a7 star twin plunger', and next line whammo-there it is, bugger me, if you have powers akin to hustling up Chooks teeth and Rockin'orse crap, you can probably get a few 'hard to get' other bits for the rest of the crew......? Where's the line start??
