Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

I thought the umpire gets paid the best, as he decides the outcome in soccer?

You got that wrong Pilgrim—— its a photographic electronic device CALLED VAR that decides the result. It cannot get it wrong——— ASK ANYONE ???????

Fuji, i have a favour to ask.
i need a couple of close up pictures of Mertons hydro. With the single pipe .
thought i had some tucked away, but i can’t remember where .
Found a great lump of teak i might use —- failing that — ill just use a slab of aluminium .
i think i might have made a concept of this a few years back !!!!!!

Jackie,
there were pictures here somewhere but my searches were to no avail. Mike Butler had posted that he had several pictures of Jim’s test runs. Hope Mike sees this post or you can send an email to him or send a private message through S & F

Mike just put some pics on FB--

Knew i had seen some somewhere Gene —- damned if i could remember where — did one years ago, but i have no idea what happened to it.
Had intended to send it to Mert‘s kids —— but my intentions these days are just like the road to hell.

sometime last week , i saw a few pictures of Bill Allen yanking the start cord on that single pipe straight six. Thought i might do another concept. Taken me all day to cobble a motor that bears some resemblance to it. ——- nearly done the Powerhead—- six plugs and a water jacket —— pipe is proving troublesome . What carbs did it have ???? Not a lot of piccies of that particular motor .

BUGGERED IF I CAN FIND THE PICTURES AGAIN —- WHERES FUJI WHEN HES NEEDED ?????
