No gear yet from motobins however I have discovered this site. Each & every bike looks amazing.
It's a bummer when you read about track bikes, then enduro airheads then see cafe racers, bobbers, street trackers

Got back into the workshop mode tonite & decided to clean up Berlinas gearbox. I want to try it on Schmidt to hear if there are any differences in the sounds & if the notch from 1st to 2nd is the same.

A bit of kero & degreaser action

Ended up ok but not very clean or sparkly looking.

I am already on the way to having the fastest R65 on the planet as I spied the gearbox drain plug has been drilled

I had a looksie under the engine & found the same

Hmmmmmm so someone else has been flogging the poor girl on a racetrack before I got to it, Intelesting velly intelesting...

Also found the flange nuts had lil bits of green paint on the nuts. I'm thinking it was done by someone to make sure they'd done them all up tight.

I've heard that the only one that used this particular shade of green was the eccentric German engine tuner Gertrad Schumbleweiser. Very strange individual however maintained he could get 98HP out of a standard R65. I feel quite special really.

Edit: Does anyone know how the brake discs are riveted on? I'm wondering if a round cut piece of stainless would be cheap to get & fit. Course i could always start with a square piece & gradually knock the corners off.
