I have just returned from the Spanish rally which was this year based at Santander instead of Colombres due in part to the massive over subscription of accommodation in the village.

Why has this section vanished from the menu, in the last few days?

Many thanks,

Hi folks

Hello

hello

for some strange reason my 850 mk 3 has just suddenly started to smoke horrendously !

and all the oil has disappeared from the oil tank and appears to be in the cylinders

the plugs are horrendously oily

Coming down the gear box as I slow down and only from second to first, when I push for neutral or on to first, it feels like itâs already in first gear and the lever pushes down but no gear to select.

All other selections are fine.

If you are quick, you may just see a Manxman on ebay with a front wheel on the back and a back wheel on the front. I couldn't believe what I was looking at.

Anyone got theirs yet?

Hi All,

On page 78 of Bacons Norton Buyers guide there is a picture of a Dunstall Dominator. Can anyone tell me what type of front hub it has? Also can anyone point me at more pictures of the same.

Thanks,

Hi all,

Which I guess would normally be OK - but my bike ('72 Roadster) has a belt drive, so every 1000 miles I take off the primary drive cover and mop out a few cc's of engine oil.

I think its coming from the crank seal.

Hi

Can I ask someone a favour?

I am currently in France but my 1947 Model 18 is in Cornwall

Beware of a scam operating via our forum.

I posted a "Wanted" advert for some mudguards for my Model 18 and received an email from a certain Luigi Cennamo from Spain offering me just what I wanted.

I have just acquired a rather nice 1947 Model 18 fitted with a 1949 ES engine.

Although fitted with a standard exhaust the bike has come with a Brooklands can.

Just for the fun of it I fitted it today ... what a sound!

Like Eugene I have also completedmy 1960 Dominator, and I now have a new project on the table, you may have seen it on ebay, it is the 1957 Dominator with all matching numbers and an old log book. I think I will need 1 or 2 touch up pens.

Can anyone tell me the correct routing of the taillamp wiring on my 1950 ES 2-plunger frame - Lucas MT 211 taillamp ?

When in doubt ... ask those who know

I have searched the forum to no avail.

The courier has just delivered my 1947 Model 18 which is fitted with Dunlop Gold Seal K70 tyres.
