Poetry Lines (71)

Its pink to make the boys wink
Or blue for a brand new you

Be grateful as I am to you
'tis possible to read the blue

I will think of you when my colleage and I take delivery of the two Morgan 3 wheel replicas, a BRG Barrel back and a BRG Beetle back -

They are safer to drive than a Reliant sweeps van

Hi June I guessed that from the Moggie plus 4 or was it a super 8
the beauty of the 3 wheel Aero Moggie and Model F's that I had when I was in the RAF was that I did not need a motor cycle licence which I have never had - BUT I used to race a sprint special bike at Ramsgate speed trials in the 1960's
A mate and I bought three 1950's 2 stroke Excelsior Talisman twins all in clapped condition for 50 quid - That gave us three engines to play with so we built two Sprint specials.

On talking to the late Alf Hagon and George Brown who had a big Nor Jap 1000 and the Nero's respectively, they said it could be done so I milled the cylinder heads on all the engines down by nearly 2.5 mm to get a 14:1 compression ratio which was the limnit before the piston could hit the chamber and blow the engine up if you went over 7,500 RPM.
We ran them on Nitro and fitted them with a big wheel and tyre at tha back and a small one at the front - Only 1 brake, a quickly tank the Rev counter and 1" Gas tube bars. Our arses were in the air and we thought it was great to be able to do a standing start 1/4 mile then in juet under 13 seconds on a 250.

I've just espied a poetry verse
Hope this is friendly, not too terse
Will someone else follow me soon
And drop a line perhaps afore noon

Thanks Big June
