Champo, cats are fast and lots of fun when handled with care.
The only thing is they dont tack very quickly and you can stall the boat.

In its heyday this was a high performance boat but was built as a trainer for the Tornado crews to get experience before stepping up for the Olympics racing on the Tornados.

Squirrel: run along now rodent.

At least they didn’t try to raft up onto your boat.
That is rude without asking first.

The lower shock bearing is the one to watch, if there is any play there it needs replacing.

If you pullout the bolt and shaft which go through the engine & frame be sure to put plenty of grease on them and in the holes, the factory did not and they can sieze in place with corrosion.

There is Pie in the Sky at Cowan NSW, on the world famous Pacific Highway just before it decends to the Hawksbury River.

Now that’s a pie, good coffee and apricot pies too.

Bike riders only there on the weekend and plenty of us too.

WTF? :ohmy:
BMW are not even in the running for the Manufacturers trophy :blush:

AB, the shop probably has a joining tool for cam chains so dont go an pull the whole thing apart just yet, you may not even have to take the head off to replace the chain.

Is it OK that I asked a friend (potential member) along?
The pace & difficulty wont be a problem for him.
