Your best was well and truly good enough.
The DR650 carby kit arrived today and I have delivered bike and kit to my mechanic this afternoon.
Thanks for the prompt and efficient service.
Being a decrepit old fossil, I'm 56, I remember you as a racer and team owner from Errrrrr, a FEW years ago, when I was mis spending my youth.
Just seems like yesterday really! I'm off to Tassie to annoy my elder sibling in a few weeks and then I'm going to the Superbikes at PI on the way home. I'm riding the mighty DR and may even come and annoy you
as well after the Superbikes. What's that? You'll be away then! I rang Dunlop many years ago for some technical advice and Dennis Neil answered the phone. Quite an interesting conversation especially the story
about his career ending accident. Was it you who "invented" the first sort of GSXR 750 Suzuki by marrying a 750 air cooled Suzuki engine with a frame from a 400cc 4cylinder Suzuki?. Robbie Phyllis rode it I think.
The flamin' early onset Alzheimer's prevents me from recalling the exact details of these important historical matters.
Anyway thanks again,
Stay safe, Steve Manning

| The extension of the laboratory
for engines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed
in about 1935. Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940).
He had a successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after
the advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar
to that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in normal
use but well preserved. Edited to the tunes of Chemical Residue by Herbie Hancock. |

Maybe in next rewrite, he'll fix the ignition timing and dyno chapters... Otherwise great book with great starting ideas. |
