Maestro? Music! Loud music!
I had more spare parts than I knew I had, so the clutch was a quick fix tonight. Also made a brace to fix the carbs in place. They were giving some trouble and I traced it back (I think) to leaking air from the intake rubbers. I had read that the carbs can just hang in the rubbers, but apparently not. Worked like a charm, the engine runs a lot nicer. I surprized myself a bit by finding out that I had forgotten to shoot a vid since the first testrides, great excuse to go riding. Needless to see: I had a blast.
Also came across a very, very rare sight in Holland. Pretty sure there's a la that forbids having car wrecks. Not sure what to think of it, on one hand it's a waste, on they other hand it's beautiful as it is.

O shit.....
That's not what I had in mind for my Saturday night....
I have no clue what the English name is for it, but the round thing at the end of my clutch cable broke off so it had no clutch anymore. After a moment of thinking Itook the same part off of the return throttle cable and put it on my clutch cable. It brought me home.

VF 1000 R monobraccio
(come già visto più volte su queste stesse pagine);
solo il monobraccio sembra essere una nota leggermente stonata,
lasciando un po troppo spazio vuoto dietro.

Bravo Charlie
I received a mail a while back from a Kiwi (New Zealander) with questions about my BMW. He told me he was building his own BMW caferacer and I of course asked for photo's in return. The bike wasn't finished yet, but he promised me to send photo's when it was. He kept his promise. This is what he had to say:
Very well done mate!! Looks great!
