A great weekend in spite of a manifold bolt finding its way into my intake valve!

The café racer looks good, it evokes a certain feeling in me. I love that style of bike.

Great pic and always with old friends is even better, I still ride with mates that I have been riding with for over 40 years now, we all got into bikes at the same time since we were 15 years old and the best thing about that we all know each others riding styles

One of the single carb interior manifold bolts came loose and hung up an intake valve.

Tim ,glad you like the idea. Good to see your pics as well. Sometimes we get so hung up on the mechanical side of keeping our old bikes on the road that we forget about the reason for doing it. To enjoy riding the old beasts ,especially with friends who also ride them.
