Mightve been telling you , cool down here ( Katoomba. MISTY in fact . :shock: ) Best Youre own pace .

Clear run if shes still running in , trundling in groups can lack airflow . Only times the Bonne got hot / flustered .
Cool days for letting it settle in . Leaning on the exhaust clamp tool occasionally untill the copper washers have stopped
compressing , when hot . Then there pretty much done there .

Green with envy , off course . :mrgreen:

Mark,
Good. It took me most of the summer to sort out all the little details on my S rebuild, but I never put large amounts of miles on it, so that's why. Few things to do this winter on it and it should be good to go coming summer. Hope you enjoy the summer riding there in OZ if it's not too hot. Keep it running.

Gary I think the Kiwi's stole that term from us! :lol: Good on ya mate!
Dave I have a little list of things that need sorting out. It's all slowed down a bit now that I am back at work but we'll get there. At least it's running now. The only problem is now my other 2 bikes need some attention. They have been a bit neglected lately. Work always seems to be getting in the way of what I really want to do. :twisted: Play with my bikes :lol:

I've never seen one in that colour before! Not bad.
I bought mine to ride but it hasn't moved since I acquired it months ago as the head gasket blew.
Then I found a broken valve spring, rust damaged bore, and a chipped ring land. :oops:
I will think of your 'living' machine while mine waits on +40 pistons.
Enjoy!
