ooow bling… 
i seem to remember seeing these a while ago, but are they still available anywhere?
Cleared out the shed to make more room for stuff from work as the factory has gone tits up. Probably won’t do anything with most of it though, found my T3 frame and some wheels. Got to get it blasted and painted and treat the engine, which is sat in the middle of the garage 
to a clean up and rebuild . Then I can use the Lemon 2 tank and seat that I bought last year. About to lose my job so I should have some time on my hands unless I get very lucky and land another job a bit smartish, really hate being on the rock and roll.
'Tis a bit blingy, tho my main reason for choosing is cos it’s much more robust than the plastic cap. AND provides electrical screening of the innards too. Was from eBay I think, can’t find any trace on’t webernet now. Later I’ll see if I can find the invoice. It was CNC machined from solid aluminium. Possibly in the US.
Hope you get sorted Jezguz…x
Went thru all my invoices tonite, can’t find the one for the Rita dizzy cover. So don’t know where it came from ~ but even at the time IIRC it was ‘while stocks last’ or ‘limited run’ or somesuch. Another member had posted about it on the forum.
Well, went for a great “Mad March Hares” run down to Dorset, as organised by Simon Beadles; 6 of us altogether. The rain wasn’t too bad and more or less gone by the run back, but the wind was a bit hairy at times.

It was really blowing a hooley at Portland Bill, where we stopped at the Lobster Pot for lunch. Simon’s hat kept disappearing across the carpark. Members from East Devon, Somerset, West Dorset and Bristol /Bath branches

Nice pics Jim…
yep it was a tad blustery over’t weekend… 
I think the angle of the Wishing Well sign may give some indication of the strength of the breeze there.
I pulled Blue out of the bike-port this evening and pushed the Black Pearl into the space. Fired up Blue for the first time since probly around November - battery seemed a little down, but fired eagerly enough once the float chambers had filled.
So VED tomorrow and then that should be the ride of choice to Sunbeam Club in the evening - 120 mile round trip. MOT is soon due and the front cover looks borderline. Ain’t that always the way?
Aye…theres always summat…
I did nowt with my guzzis yesterday…I appear to have the Lergy and its a bug**r cos I have a delivery to South Wales tomoz…
I’ll be hosing down the Cali today, Sunday dumped a ton of residual road salt on it in the rain.
And like Kate and Mike reported, got a spot of lurgi as a souvenir.

Well my shoulders can still feel the effects of the ride home but no lurgi so far.
Riding to work today I am approaching the place where there is a good chance of a camera van at 30 mph.
I get overtaken by another bike doing about 45 and I think ‘it’s your licence man’.
A car flashes him so he slows down.
Just past the camera van an L plated bike screams past both of us doing ‘oh’ about 48mph.
I mean braking heavily because you have just seen it is one thing but to accelerate away from it is blindness.
Perhaps his(?) forthcoming letter will teach him.
I await and see if they assume it was me. Photo’s will be required if they claim that.
Did he think he could out-run the flash? 
That’s like the joke about can you turn off the bedroom light switch then get into bed before the light goes…
first decent run out on the Le Mans for a while, about 200 mile round trip for egg and chips at Seaways Cafe followed by a slice of cake on the way home the route took in the nearest we have around here to motorway standard roads, so i was able to let the it stretch its legs… it still feels very happy at just over 6000 rpm in top 
Hiya Neil…
rode mine down to Stone to check the boat, what with the high winds…was a bit concerned it mite have broke free from its moorings…all was well tho…hoping to get a run on me duke over the next coupla days…forecast looks reasonable…
Prepping Dato for his mot…both fork seals gone…doh !..
the Dramah had a run around the block the other week, hopefully i’ll get some miles on it this summer, once ive changed the clutch and sorted the tickover
Got The Cali all buffed up and topped off for a run to Holmfirth and environs with Chris Californihay and his mate Dermot with a sports Beemer.
It was zip down the A19>A1(M) and all that, depressing stuff wrought by Vogons, relieved after joining the Great North Road, preserved in delicious detail and warped back to the Seventies in light usage, for Sherburn and Squires Café Bar
where Satan’s Slaves were mustering for a rideout
The sound when they departed was pretty damn glorious. Then we were cross-country to JEM tryin a V7 Stone for size and thence to a marvellous Hot Rod Workshop/Café/Emporium/Car Sales wonderland called The Carding Shed http://thecardingshed.co.uk/

My 20-y-o Cali is now one year and 4,000 miles in my keeperage, with 15k on the clock it is loosening up nicely
Phil
you don’t need no daisy duke, you pulled a bird in Batley when stopped in traffic for 5 mins.

 … Super write up. - Chris.
I believe the North Staffs branch are scheduled for a run to that very place in May…
thxalot Chris, but after reflection I think the bike pulled not the gap-toothed Benny Hill specs banjo plucker doing the talking
Hey Kate, seriously allow for cake on that trip, chip butty was a bit crap, if generous.
