Hey, that was a good score - AND you were really lucky NOT to get the
teenage daughter as well, if you havent had one yourself, mm, ah,
yes, ..............you are blessed!!! (hopefully, they grow up to be
Human, rather than something just visiting from their home planet..)


Nice to have tools with a bit of grunt in them.


BTW - the car? - well, you know what a bull**** artist Gunner is,
wouldn't believe that bit. OK with the teenage daughter bit - anyone
want mine? *- shes semi-house trained. (A lie well known to all
parents)

Do you know how long it takes to cut out those huge, meaninglessly
verbose tag lines Gunner - bloody hell! (get some new, shorter ones,
ok?) Browsed through your album too - thanks, you got a LOTTA
interesting stuff. Your Honda XL350 - if its the wear of the head
where the cam sat, you can line bore it out and fit needle bearings -
just Google it - maybe you got a mill and tooling and setup plates to
do it....would be a bugger to set up, ...you would be up for a pair of
bearings, maybe cam rebuilding, but you would have a good, honest
bike at the end of it.
The Enfield - who the hell got to it, what were they trying to do, its
bloody awful. (Typical English crap too - worn out tooling, poor
castings, archaic work practices, leaked from brand new, poor choice
and use of materials..no technical (or managerial) advances since the
Great War, no wonder the Japs devastated them...) Do the Honda first,
lot easier. Dont be slack - just do it!
