I'm all packed for into the valley rally tomorrow. Load the bike in the morning and off...

If only that did happen!

So you broke one more bit on refitting?

I knew someone slightly with one who liked to customise all his bikes. He fitted front forks so an almost unique design became the bloody same as everything else on the road.

I'll never understand why.

I need to do Morocco one day. Nearly did the other year, but stopped in the Algarve for too long.

I never knew of that place either, despite working in Colchester for a while. I wonder how long it's been there?

Here's an engine rarely seen since they were intended to be disposable. This is the 4 cylinder radial engine from a WWII German G7A torpedo. It ran on Decaline fuel (decahydronaphthalene), which was first burned using compressed air (stored in a tank onboard) as an oxidizer. The combustion byproduct...

That reminds me, a tyre looks soft on the XJR. I must check it before I use it next.

My Midget was the same, it distorted with the prop being on one side.

Two real Volvos!
