Title: On the road again-----
Post by Phelonius on 04/26/09 at 15:14:59

I just rode 7 miles into town. The freshly rebuilt engine is smooth and quiet. It is always a joy to me when I rebuild one of the things and then it all comes together better than before. Still waiting for a few new parts for the new exhaust system. But oh well, I am going to ease into it to wear in the new piston gently anyway. Feels good to be back on the Webley Vickers after a week on the dirt bike.

Avon sidecar special up front, Michelin 135X15 darksider at the rear.
The Avon is good for more than 30,000 miles on this rig. The darksider about 25,000. I change them a little sooner just because I am paranoid.
And it doesn't go tapockata tapockata.

BTW The photos are about 2 years out of date. I will post a new photo when the new exhaust is here.
