Davy lamp.... younger blokes will have to google it to find out what it is...

Didn't get the decals on Ten 3 on Friday, I had an oil leak on the tachometer drive.... so had to take the tank back off, strip the drive & change the seals.... decals tommorrow now... :fireball:

What I like most about doing these bikes is the fact that they've been rescued from the breakers, maybe not the first one but 2 & 3 would have been gone for ever now....

I dunno vander, I love 'em all.... difficult to choose, I do know one thing... my missus never sends me to get anything from the freezer (it's in the garage with the bikes) 'cos I end up just standing looking at 'em.... it's better than the telly.. :biggrin:

I'm really looking forward to the 1VJ though, that one's gonna be a mixture of about 4 or 5 bikes..... :fireball: :evil:

One of these days, I'll do a proper resto, like it was when it came out of the factory.... maybe... :rolleyes:
