Excellent bike! I would like to try it! :)

You wouldn't be disappointed Szbaloh.  With only 130 BHP it's fast but not super fast.  The balance of power, brakes and handling make it just about perfect for use in the real world.   Back in 2003 I did a continental trip with it and it was superb. I even took it up a dirt track to the top of a mountain when I was there, but it's certainly no trials bike!

Yes,mine has only 72 BHP but a lot of torque. I think that the engine could handle bigger transmission to get to higher speeds :) this bike is not for that however.

I think it's called pride in workmanship, it is better than most of the bikes I saw in the SanDiego Automotive Museum in Balboa Park. I must send you those pics.

Then again I am not really surprised.

lovely job George.

I suppose it is in topic and I doubt that George would mind so here they are.  The last one is the Apollo 9 Command Module, not a bike but it must have been a hell of a ride.  I am not a motorbike person myself, preferring to be clad in steel when at speed (wimp), but I enjoyed looking at them.  This is a glimpse of some stuff from the British section.image.jpeg

Oh ho! I love Nortons!!! Thank you for posting, Vic.

That last picture, I think the module needs some TLC!

Geo, I wonder if you would take it in and do some magic on it...that red you used in your bike would be perfect, I love that color and the hue you chose! Not all red paints are made the same! :)

Cheers,

Bob

PS. Yes, me too Vic, I enjoy bikes a lot but like to brave the Miami streets armored just like you...If tanks were street legal I would be driving one! :)

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By ManSkirtBrew · Posted

      Right now I'm making do with a similar micrometer (the one below is $45 shipped but you can find better deals) and a $20 stand. You do have to be excruciatingly careful measuring jewels, since there's no table, but if you don't have the $500 to throw around, it's a nice option.

      As  I kid, I'd watch Godzilla stomping over buildings and cars and I'd think to myself: Tokyo is a really dangerous place to live... . Cool watch!!

      Part swapper to part maker

      Next one up an AS 554, looks like a bit more to this one. First job is to check thickness, most springs are somewhere between .3 and .4, this one measures .35, that matches in with the .4 spring steel i ordered. So for marking up a permanent marker comes in handy to colour up the steel to be marked later with a scriber once its dry. Bestfit provide the extra bit of info for the jumper spring that is missing.

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Thanks again, Marc.  Super helpful. I was wondering what the hole was for, and now it makes perfect sense. With your help and the other members here, it looks like I'm good to go with my Seitz tool set. I had to order some replacement pushers, but with those, the set is complete and in good condition. Now, I need to figure out what tool to buy to measure jewels (amongst other watch-related parts). I had my eye on the JKA Feintaster micrometers, but people get crazy bidding on them for $400-600 USD. I was thinking of just a regular digital micrometer (Mitutoyo). Thoughts?  Mahalo. Frank

      Yep, that's exactly how it should fit. The reamer shank is tapered and the socket in the spindle is also tapered so that the one centers in the other and is gripped tightly. If there is any wobble when the reamer is seated as far it will go then there is a problem. The cross hole in the spindle is to allow you the push the reamer back out again. If the reamer seated much deeper then it would limit the access for pushing it back out again. Here is one of mine for comparison.
