And now the horror show...
You are definitely ruining the British bike thing for me.
I’m sure my wife would thank you.

Why couldn’t I have neighbors like you guys? Ha!

I don’t think I ever put more than 4.8 gallons in mine even after running it out of gas...
I think the consensus is that there is less than 5 gal of usable fuel.
FWIW I usually only get 36 mpg on mine...

How are the bushings on the “Cardan” bar?

I have no reason at the moment to remove the rear wheel or any thing back there. But I’m wondering what the standard practice is for spline maintenance on old Tontis?
Anybody have experience?

Ha! Docc will bust that pic out any chance he gets.

You’re a helluva guy Chuck! I think I’m going to let her ride for now. This bike has costed me enough already.
If I was having tappet/follower issues would I see the valve lash close up fast?
The plan is to break in the cylinders (500 miles) retorque and do the valve lash. Change oil and filter again.
Then just ride it.

Bullet connectors for the clutch switch?

Well I sorta buttoned it up already. Then I started googling stuff.
I’ll see what I can do.

So I need to replace the cam too?
I guess they do look a bit convex.

Good point, unless somebody objects I’m going to go back to sleeping at night.
Thanks Chuck

The profile seems like it should be flat and I couldn’t feel any detectable gouging.
Just to be clear (my cryptic typing probably to blame) I’m talking about these

It is probably a hobby I will never be able to afford. I do appreciate them though.

Even though I’ve got her all buttoned something has been eating away at me.
I checked the cam followers and found a spec or two of plating missing on two of them. I’m talking like smaller than 1mm near the center and I couldn’t feel a ridge with my fingernail.
Am I asking for trouble?

Never been a dirt rider, I wasn’t sure how capable these bikes are. But, yeah you’re right I should know who I’m talking to...

What was a Vincent going for in the 90s? Out of curiosity.

Congrats! Love the color. Will it see any off road?

There aren’t too many brand new bikes that trip my trigger, but that’s on a short list.
