Behold the 47/7 Trombone Pipes in all their glory (or compressor cooling pipes, if you insist). When they started the push pull services they found there were issues with water in the air system and unpredictable operation of the internal doors in the Mk 3s so they added the extended air pipes by the battery box. A very distinctive signature of the 47/7, especially as painted white.

I need various parts for projects. I've used their web messaging, I've emailed, I've telephoned (leaving my no), finally two weeks back I've written by post.
.
I've no reply whatsoever so wondering if they've shut down.
.
Any ideas anybody?

Meant as (Have you) never watched a fast lap at the TT, I assume.
Current lap record for the 37.73 mile course held by Peter Hickman at 136.358mph with speeds in parts just topping 200mph. Of course, the TT is not a sanitised race circuit i.e. it has buildings, walls, telephone boxes and general street 'furniture'. If you come off, the chances are not good.
In general the media, especially the BBC, only reports on it when someone is killed

Could be a whole lot worse, Bob. Thank your Gods you never went to see Hawkwind when Stacia was on stage

Did you mean 'Ever' Graham?

Quote from: Train Waiting on July 13, 2025, 10:55:38 AMI well remember my first 100mph 'on the clock'. It was on a Velocette 'Venom' 500cc single.

She had a high-compression piston and was a recalcitrant starter. But when she was on the open road she flew along. Splendid handling and roadholding as well.

I loved my Velos, had three of them, started with a 350 viper, onto a 500 MAC, then ended up with a 1969 Thruxton 'Black Pig' that I bought from Commerfords in Thames Ditton. Loved the Thruxton it was pretty fast bike that handled really well, but a pig in traffic, if you didn't find neutral before stopping the clutch would start dragging! 

I ain't complaining 

Like I say, I knew me limitations, as Clint Eastwood would say.

I just dont understand WHY these so called female singers go on stage in their underwear ,If I can ever get to a concert I go to HEAR the artist sing ,If I wanted to see a half naked girl I would go to a strip club How does undressing like that improve their singing ,Sorry but I just dont understand that .
Sorry for going of topic
