Hi Aero, the sintered pads for the stock caliper are only made by "Dunlopad" in the UK, I've sold/imported them for years, they transform the stock setup, cheers.

Hey MattB, I went down to Bovington Camp in Dorset while back home a few years ago, and found TEL's final resting place while there. There is a nice memorial to him inside the tank museum if you ever get there. They have a very nice Brough Superior there too..but not TEL's.... Cheers, Mick

Hey Marlon, I hate to ask the obvious question, but did you try a well-lubed new clutch cable? I thought I had a beast of a clutch until it broke. When I put the new cable on, I was shocked at how easy it was to pull.

Alright, I have a new camera! One thing i really need to do is work on the rear of the bike, perhaps cutting the frame, to tidy things up a bit.   |

Nice Marlon! Very nice! Love the new exhaust you've got there... how loud is it compared to your old supersound?
Also loving the no fender look... do you ever get pinged by the cops?

Sound wise it's about the same as the old supertrapp, but a little louder. Tone wise, however, it's quite different, less trebly and more of a bass note.
Never been pinged by the cops, but it's not the most high profile bike around. I think generally the approach is because it's an older looking bike they aren't too worried about it.

Nice one mate, peyton pipe looks the goods
If you were thinking about selling it (that was last week yeah?) would a hacked frame hurt your cause?
If i was looking at picking up another bike, I'd prefer an untouched frame, shoudl i want to take teh bike back to original etc
BUT if you're keeping it now - go for it, why not

Yeah, the pipe does look good - except for the writing on the side, which looks kind of naff but it's hardly noticable.
You're spot on, as always, about the market there milky... but until i sell it/if I do I'm going to have my fun with her!

Hi Marlon!
Very nice!
A Lyta-tank would make her perfect!
