9 months ago this little beauty rolled over from my neighbors shop into mine. He said it just “needed a little carb work”, after rebuilding the head, doing some work to the piston, new rings and  honing the cylinder, then I did a little work to the carb. Fired right up, rode it and had fun while I kept tinkering with it. And I’d say she’s just the way I wanted it now. Thanks for all the great help from this forum.

She's a beauty! Well done, Wacopilot.

Have you taken her out on the Sierra foothill roads yet? Those roads are built for these machines, it'll be a real treat for you.

ACR, not yet. I’ve got an old friend up in Mariposa with a cool Norton. Maybe my son and I can load up the bikes in a trailer for a weekend of riding up there. Making it it over the grapevine is suicidal these days even in a car.

Let me know when you are in the area and maybe we can join up, Mariposa's not that far North of me.  8)
