Assembled the Swedish Jota's crankcases today. Crankshaft by Piet, the rest by me. Locktite 510 for the crankcase joint. A bit fiddly, could have used another pair of hands. Tightened all fasteners using the smaller of my calibrated torque wrenches. The ghost of my old mentor, Bruce Harre, peering critically over my shoulder. I am happy with the result, he would have been as well.
My phone is screwing around, not able to upload images right now...

Well I'm glad you go back over old threads to catch up CK!
I had been off the site for a while so completely missed Max's post. Can't decide if you were lucky or unlucky @Max but best wishes for recovery.
Actually Max's incident brought back a few memories. When I was about 15 was out riding in the state forestry near home with a couple of mates. End of the day it started drizzling rain and we headed home. One bloke had left a fair bit earlier, other mate took off for his place and I decided to go via a bitumen back road as I thought the local sarge wouldn't venture out in the weather chasing us like he normally did. I was on a SL100 (big upgrade from my earlier years '59 125 twin) and in the drizzling rain I could see an old car coming toward me. I realised it was the 1st mate who had gone home earlier, he was a bit older and had a license, so he picked up a couple of girls in his old bomb and was heading out to one of the entries to the forestry to try and find us. I could see he was in the middle of the road (single lane anyway) coming toward me, but I just thought he was being a smart arse playing chicken but he never moved and right at last minute I had to swerve but my right boot / peg clipped the car as we passed. I stopped quickly (shitting myself) to survey the damage but extremely lucky no damage to bike or me (folding peg might have helped) Mate also stopped and came back quite shaken.
In the rain he wasn't playing games and actually hadn't seen me at all!!
Learnt a very valuable lesson about assuming no one can see you from that day on..................................

Well, as my phone got run over in Cannonfuckingvale , and I had to buy a quick replacement in Prossi, from the Post Office ….. I would have called you but with a busted phone, I’ve lost all my contacts so if you ever want to talk to me again you’ll need to text me your number (and if you don’t I’ll know exactly who my mates are)

Ha Ha, well that explains the rumours I've heard last couple of days that they're thinking pf sprucing up the old post office because some big spenders have been in townWell, as my phone got run over in Cannonfuckingvale , and I had to buy a quick replacement in Prossi, from the Post Office ….. I would have called you but with a busted phone, I’ve lost all my contacts so if you ever want to talk to me again you’ll need to text me your number (and if you don’t I’ll know exactly who my mates are)
Will text later, mate's just turned up to pick me up to go to golf (Usually takes our group about 3 holes to confirm it's not about the golf, just the Thursday arvo piss up
)

Can't you retrieve your contacts from your SIM, Chris? Or if an iPhone, from your apple id account cloud thingy?

I took my squashed phone into Apple, and even young mate that rode motorbikes (Laverda 
) took it out the back and came back 10 minutes later and shook his head.
The whole scene was rather like a surgeon telling the family the operation wasn’t successful and grandpa couldn’t be saved.

My work app requires me to take pictures of freight on pickup and delivery.
I may have left my phone on the bed of truck, on leaving the drop off location I did a turn at an intersection and saw in the mirror a car run over something on the road.
I went to make a call and the phone wasn’t in its normal spot. FFS, was that my phone?
Pulled up and was running back towards the intersection when another car ran over it. Noooooooo!

Today I restored a used Dellorto MA18B carburetor and installed it on my Laverda 100 Sport Lusso ("Luigi" on this forum was again very helpful with parts). It was very difficult to start with the larger UB20BS. Tomorrow I'll do a test run with the MA18B ...
Ciao, Gert
