I came across this in a pile of old magazines, Motorcycle Mechanics to be precise, circa 1960 ish and immediately thought this could be invaluable to the 961 membership. No need to thank me I just thought it would be beneficial to the site and fellow members or those thinking of buying a 961.

I think for new owners we should create a complimentary 'Don't worry they are supposed to sound like this' recording......

If we don't have a bike to hand we could simulate it by running down a bumpy hill with a wheelbarrow full of old sewing machine parts while wearing a suit of armour.......

Wouldn't be far from reality to be fair. For anyone that's interested, now I've mine sorted by Stu, this is the idle noise considered "normal"!
