A certain Valentino Rossi from Tavulia(yes Him) is presently 3rd in the Bathurst 12 hour...still 9 hours to go...
This reminds me of the footage with Senna in Monaco.Peter Hickman 16 minutes 36 and a bit seconds... 136.358mph... on a superstock!
That's mad, I remember Tony Pond trying to be the first to break the 100 mph average in a production road car, Rover 827, he only did it by dumping the co-driver outPeter Hickman 16 minutes 36 and a bit seconds... 136.358mph... on a superstock!
Absolutely stunning. First time I have watched a full on board lap.Peter Hickman 16 minutes 36 and a bit seconds... 136.358mph... on a superstock!
I had a nice wee shakedown run on my BSA C15 today after rebuilding the engine following a main bearing seizure. All went well and a good day was had.

I have one exactly like that in bits in my garage. It was the first bike I ever bought, and I passed my test on it in 1979. After 44 years of ownership, I’ll have to get it back on the road. I sold my GS750 yesterday, so I have a bit more garage space to work in now. Maybe a winter project after I finish the Chevette and GPz 550.

It looks like you’ve polished the **** out of the timing side! I’ve also noticed that there isn’t an oil spot underneath, which means one of two things; you’ve just parked, wiped the oil off the underneath and taken a quick snap, or the oil tank is empty and it’s about to seize. Whatever your protestations, those are the ONLY two possibilities.I thoroughly recommend you get it going again Benny. Nothing puts a bigger grin on my face for just pottering about on.

I agree with Benny. That's not half bad...
