Way to go Mark.  I bet all those months messing with it were washed away, the first time you opened up the throttle. Sounds like a great ride.

You're welcome, I couldn't resist it once I saw you in Whatley's pictures. Next year is a tentative goal although I hope to hear it run by the 4th of July. Tins are being painted right now and a bunch of engine parts are in transit to B&A...I'm starting to get a little excited by the prospects...

Gettin her ready now for the annual "Brit in the Blue Ridge" rally on the 11th of June. Thinking of riding it all the way from home here in Hiram, to Hiawassee. I know the bike will make it, not so sure about my buttbone! Its VERY uncomfortable, even after 12 miles or so....may be miserable.

Glad you got it good order now. I always loved riding my old bikes places,I never trailered mine. Even rode my 66 TR6C from north east PA to Wyoming to see Yellowstone park. That was a hardtail that I found more comfortable than the stock seat by far. Those flat stock seats didn't lend themselves to long rides in my opinion.

You would have trailered this one with all I've been through with it...It has proven itself now however...She started popping and shooting fire out the pipes yesterday, and blowing the 15 amp fuse. I found the alternator wires touching under the battery box...That called for a 25 mile test ride!!!! She seems to run better and better everyday.

Thats another 200 miles on my old Bonny, after the Brit in the Blue Ridge Rally. The Pazon wire broke when I loaned it to my buddy, but was an easy fix. Then she started fouling plugs, and not running well at all, 100 miles from home. I put new resistor plugs in her, and that seemed to fix her, as she ran flawlessly on the 100 mile ride home Sunday morning...Man she is a SWEET BIKE....(no longer the T120 from ******)....

Run R45XLS AC sparkplugs in it, That is all I ever ran in them, those things will burn dirt!
