My 500 Indian bullet sold on Tuesday with a nice new undented tank. Not sold as such part of a 3 bike deal to get a 2013 efi Enfield. The others that went were a V65 now running properly and a Suzuki B120 noisy but running.

That's a nice collection. The only thing wrong with those Boxer twins is that they cylinders have drooped from the correct jaunty V...  ;D

Perhaps I need to feed the Beemers with **** to get the pots in the right position.

Nice; mine's the bblck and red variety, but I prefer the cream and red. Mine is a '94 registration, but must be a '93 model as it also has carbs.

Thanks, the bloke I got it off said 1993 was the last year of the carb models and it is an LAPD version. Rides very nice now since the incident with the clutch cable.

My 1999 Funduro  close to the Adriatic in Italy 2010. We rode down to Monopoli. Sadly I sold this bike, 4000 miles over 32 days,  It never missed a beat till I got back and within a week of return it got a puncture and the reg packed in. The gasket paper over the silencer was to protect my throw over luggage.
