Greasy Kulture outtakes

Guy did a fantastic job with the latest issue and it's a huge honour to get the cover!  Thanks Guy.

Olly and I had a lot of fun shooting the photos.  It rained heavily and I had refractured my thumb two weeks earlier.  Thanks Olly.  Here are some more shots that couldn't fit in the mag:

Find the leak

This is a fun little game I like to call 'find the leak'.

I'm like the Sherlock Holmes of petrol drips.

Yahtzee!

On the road again, just can't wait to get oh shut up

Hand Shifter

 

Sweet-ass shifter pin from MagnetoZoo.  Sunk it into the WR shifter knob.

Shakedown

The DVLA authorised the WR to be roadworthy last week so when I got home on Friday I fired her up and blasted out on her first (legal) ride.

It was going well until the sun came down and the throttle stuck 3/4 open.  Got home easily enough just using the kill switch to regulate the speed.

Saturday wasn't quite so smooth.  The engine timing plug fell out.

Nothing a dive into the nearest pub can't sort.

But then 200 yards later a very odd shaking started coming from the engine.  The cavalry arrived.

Diagnosis:  the central clutch nut had wiggled off and embedded itself in the primary practically pulling the engine and gearbox off their mounts.

To be continued...

Jack Tracey

There are parts and then there are PARTS.  This one is definitely in capitals.

 

Jack Tracey windshield, coming soon to a WR near you.

Thank you Yas!

WR Daytona

New bike on the farm, a 1950 WR.  It's the TT version with the long distance gas tanks and aloominuminum oil tank, amongst other tweaks.

New pictures will be added to a separate page, picture link on the right.

Bombsite venturi in the Linkert.

Only had to rebuild the carb and then got it running.  The tools in the red box are Tony's Linkert cleaning rods, the lot on the left are a NOS unused set.  Mmmm...
