Not quite true PU. The only reason they didn't drip so much oil was because they'd already burned it!

I shall be at the Festival of 1,000 Bikes again this year (Mallory Park, July 8-10) and will enjoy watching (and hearing) Steve Spray & co. belting them round the track.

I have been forbidden to play the recordings above, as they upset the dog. I think he picks up on my sentiment:)
