Good to know I’m not alone! ^^ in fact sounds as if I’m “in good company” as far as my addition goes, perhaps we should start a support group
I’ll go first …… my names Nick and up until I was introduced to Yahoo auctions Japan by a very bad man who goes by the pseudonym of RobH I had money in the bank and space in the shed, - these days both are challenged and I find myself browsing the web at all times of the day with the voices in my head feeding my anxiety around FOMO for illusive NOS parts from Japan.
Love you really Rob and my bike looks so much better for being introduced to Jauce !
Back to reality -
With some fresh fuel in the tank I took her out for a spin to Cheltenham to see Nick and the guys at Spa motorcycles (another of Robs nuggets of worldly wisdom)to see if they could improve the situation with the choke/carb for cold starts and perhaps put it on their dyno and get it dialed in.
As soon as I went through the door I knew I was in safe hands, apart from an overly friendly guard dog that acted like it had been pole axed and rolled over for a belly scratch without any encouragement (could have taken him home to be honest) - the shop was full of 2 Stokes down one side a real smorgasbord of very clean old LC’s and a newer (still 30 yrs old) YPVS’s for sale along with a bunch of late 1970’s 2T’s
A date has been set for workshop time next month, but until then she’s still a rider 😁
Standing guard
When your greeted by these old timers you know you’ve come to people who love and respect smokers - The Rothmans MC16 is a dogs dinner of parts from later marks and very much a non runner by the seem of things, it did have some very lovely Rainbow Tyga expansion chambers on it so somebody’s been waving their wallet around in the past
