Hitchcocks came through with the starter blank

Hopefully a bit more airflow to the cylinder and 3.5 kilos less junk to haul around.

Shame about the nasty mounting scar but I can always paint it over I guess

I'm afraid Brunei is a lot more civilised these days.

Headhunting is generally frowned upon and though the Iban tribe and others have heads in their longhouses, they tend to be 50 or more years old now.

Snakes we have - I recently had a Equatorial black spitting cobra in the garden. I shooed him off with my umbrella - like a true English gent. "Begone! Damn yer eyes!". Didn't want that up the old exhaust pipe!

We do get lots of monkeys, wild pigs, civit cats, mouse deer, big monitor lizards and crocodiles. Lots of crocodiles. There is even one at the local supermarket - he lives on the riverbank and is a bit of a celebrity!

Also we have a lot of jungle - great for trekking.

We also have SE Asia's longest over water road bridge and the worlds largest water village.

And a few other oics.

Also - anyone who has removed the starter - do you find that the engine sound has changed? I think the empty starter cog case acts as a resonator! Also - now all the PAV gear and wires and starter relay is out of the left hand tool box, that is also resonating what sounds like the primary case sounds. I may have to stuff the tool box with foam!  ;D

Thanks for all those great pix, quite the exotic locale! I imagine that the bike always gets a good look over prior to "saddling up". Enjoy where you are I say! Thanks again - ACR -

Relax! You just need to listen to more and harder-rocking music at full tilt in a confined space. Speaking of which, how'd you get a photo of my Prom date?

So badass my Enfield's actually illegal  in India. Yet it squeaks by here in Virginia.
