Pete, Lissa, YC and Im Indoors...
... Thankyou.
Today Suzy finally got that whiny, rattly, banging engine with no paint, that only started on one cylinder, taken out, and replaced with a nice slightly more miled, but carefully looked after engine with paint and no odd front cylinder..that belonged to Pete n Lissa Yes, Bikedolf is now Suzy'.... well the heart is anyway.. Pete was good enough to deliver Bikedolfs engine yesterday to the garage of doom of YC.... along with some nice shiny side panels, a shiny rear brake master cylinder, rear shock(for Dave)..... and something rather special I waved Suze goodbye this morning as she went down the road with no fairings on or belly pan. Im Indoors in the pilot seat. After many hours of pacing about and wondering about the patient, YC's voice on the phone proclaimed 'got any biscuits?' So shes back. I took her out for a quick spin and indeed she is quieter, I can't feel knocking up the handlebars, nor can I see the clutch housing looking like something is going to launch through the side, she starts on first button, on two cylinders, she has paint all over the engine niether does the tank vibrate, So thankyou YC and Im Indoors for spending hours putting her back together again Only thing is I haven't fitted the panels yet.. its dark nor have they had the time to fit the special part... Neither can i find it ... as Im Indoors has hidden it, but I'll show you anyway thanks again Pete n Lissa, those shiny things are loveerly

Re: Pete, Lissa, YC and Im Indoors...
I've been thinking of putting a new engine in her for a while, with similar mileage to mine, since the cylinder head replacement didn't quite get rid of the full problem. I've been pretty peeved that every time I've come to show off YCs skills shes let me down, as he was the one who rebuilt her from rusty ashes.
Engines are risky business, you don't know what your getting. I'm pretty anal about where, why or how things are when my bikes concerned... you don't know with an ebay purchase if an engines been wheelied, binned, upside down, ragged etc. I knew Pete N Lissa had bikedolf in the house, and can trust the fact that they had it from 1100 miles with no bins, wheelies or crashes. I've seen that engine ridden properly and with respect, so had to go for it. Also with the yoke, I think Im Indoors wanted to see my face smile...not everything has been happy in the land of Dizz, so a token gift that glitters can make any girl smile I couldn't afford it after buying an engine, which wasn't in this months budget... I'm glad Pete brought it up here, as soon as Matt saw it he said it was a lovely piece of engineering and I wouldn't get opportunity again, so bought it for me I just wish I could find the damn thing..lol
