| 343783 | 2005-04-13 08:44:00 | Remember Valentines, the big war surplus place? They discovered a lot of cases of spare parts for the 1941 Army Indian (all in khaki paint, with blackout lights). They assembled a bunch of them and were selling them for 285 pounds in the 60s. I've still got one of their catalogues somewhere --- everything up to a 10000 square ft tent hospital. They were still opertaing in the middle 70s, but I think there was a big fire and they shut down after that. My cousin had one of them and he gave it to me for an indeterminate loan (he was only using it to round up the sheep in Ohoka). Wonderful fun, and great on shingle roads. All my teenage mates had a go on it and we all ended up uninjured... Hard to actually hit the road with those things with the crashbars, wide handle bars, and fold up running boards! After that I had a BSA A7 (500 twin with after market Siamese pipes that made my future wife go weak at the knees - we did all our courting on that bike); then a Matchless G9 (500 twin as well). I sold that to buy a fridge when our first child was born, then had a barren 12 years before finances improved. I then moved on to sake burners. Very reliable, electric start, no piddling of oil on your feet, driveway or lounge floor, yadda yadda, but no romance in any of the five I have owned. Sigh.. |

| 343784 | 2005-04-13 08:48:00 | However, I do have reservations as to whether the key is actually unlocking it???? (Thus the difficulty turning same.) ;) Hmmmm. I'm coming around to this view too. In fact - and this is very difficult to admit - I may have locked it when trying to open it. :blush: And now it won't unlock. :badpc: If I'd just opened it as per normal instead of using the key, all would be well. :dogeye: But then we would never have had this thread so its an ill wind which blows nobody any good. :D |

| 343786 | 2005-04-14 01:58:00 | Here's a lawyer, who can't get a locked petrol cap open. Hasn't he got any clients? :) Any lock on a motor vehicle should be the work of a moment. | Graham L (2) | ||

| 343789 | 2005-04-14 10:05:00 | Wonderful shot Winnie, where's the fuel cap though, did you drop it in the dirt, eh! That's not the correct apparel either if your contemplating mounting that machine. | Murray P (44) | ||
