Looks like it could be sulking or maybe dreaming of a nice pair of long open exhausts;)

This was an excellent jaunt out on my freshy taxed and MOT'd CR to a Morgan factory do. For anyone who has never visited the UK this is what a typical supermarket car park looks like;

They have had a few updates in their lifecycle to address a few issues but there is a new one out with an enclosed engine as the S&S engine can't be made to meet latest regs. I wasn't sure when I heard but it looks very good indeed and has supposed to have been tested extensively. So at Norton I really NEED a v4 then at Morgan I REALLY need a 3 wheeler.... And they say first-world problems aren't difficult. Bike running really well - still using my hand-made starter brushes: must get round to swapping that new (crackle black:() starter on. Some really nice riding around the Malvern area.

I was talking to a guy with a lovely Goldie at Finchingfield on Sunday. He told me also has a Morgan but the owners are worried about spares as S&S have sold the V twin manufacturing rights to the Far East. ( sounds familiar). The new model will have a 3 cylinder Ford engine under a bonnet.
If anyone is going to the Manx this year he told me the owners club are taking 50. That should be quite a site!!

Info here:

Inlet upgrade?

Normally you might entertain upgrading injectors as far as flow is concerned if you were on a dyno, max revs and your injector is close to 100% duration and you are still weak. so you are 'running out of injector' You could up line pressure, which can work, or look at new higher flow injectors...

Usually referred to as an Airbox Removal Kit (ARK).
I propose a change to: Norton Airbox Removal Kit - NARK.
Now that brings back some memories.

I just passed my local petrol station and no problem with supplies.
 
200km thrash around the hinterland today and she ran flawlessly - also first ride with the shorts fitted. Who knew, size does actually matter and smaller is better! I am now a short pipe convert and will join in with the open derision of longs at every opportunity.

I know, I know, I’m a turncoat!

I know what you mean FE, Clive has always been a bit behind the times though. Clearly shorts are where it’s at! I strongly suspect that Clive still wears flares:rolleyes:! Keep that to yourself though!
