Water pistols...

fights with the over-ripe, soft, hot squishy tomatoes...

Now your Victor has become a Gold Star. You also still need to explain how
you
bought it set up with a Delorto carb, and later installed a delorto carb
with a
custom manifold.

It's really not difficult for someone who possesses the ability to
comprehend what he reads. I had a Gold Star-based race bike, and I also
owned a Victor street bike. Both had Delorto carbs. The Victor had a
custom intake manifold that I purchased from a catalog. The Gold Star came
with the Delorto already installed. Perhaps it, too, was a custom manifold,
but I really didn't give enough of a **** to care at the time.


Partner: Pat Simmons - Doobie Brothers - Go ask him. You can also ask Dick
Smothers, who was not only a very good customer, but often hung around the
shop
trying to help the mechanics.

When I call up your good buddies, Pat Simmons and Dickie Smothers, what name
should I ask about? Certainly not that phoney one you've been posting at
the bottom. Do they know you as Barnacle Bill the Blowhard, too?

And I guess you had to tell them sheepishly that you had no idea!

We stared at them with an incredulous expression for about 10 seconds, then
turned away and resumed what we were doing when they rudely interrupted.

Good lord. We are supposed to believe this fairy tale? One minute you are
having
no trouble using metric tools on a British bike, then you install a
Delorto carb
that was already on the bike when you got it, but then the model changes
from a
Victor to a Gold Star and it had a stock carb. And now you claim that
even
though you were a "poor flat tracker" who had to do all his own work on
the
bike, you don't remember what those stock CARBS were, and you think that
would
be considered esoterica?

Apart from your lack of reading comprehension (the Gold Star race bike and
the Victor were actually two separate bikes--isn't that amazing) you've got
it right. So believe it. Or not. I couldn't care less.

Keep going. This is getting funnier and funnier with every new revelation.
Tell
us about the race you won with NO carb at all on the bike!

Sorry, but you'll just have to live with disappointment. Every bike had
carbs. You'll also have to debate this with yourself--it's become too
boring for my participation.

That was my street bike. Okay, I suppose it was called an enduro or
something like that, but it wasn't suitable for off-road use. Mine had
custom tank paint, but otherwise looked like the photo.

The clutch on my Liberty was replaced at 160K, the CV joints at
180K. That's it, and while I bought it used, it has the full logbook
dealer service records.

That's pretty good for a Jeep Liberty, which overall has had a rather
dismal
reliability rating.

Subaru Liberty. Sold in the USA as a Legacy IIRC. Wouldn't have a Jeep
except as a gift. Useless excuse for a 4WD compared to a Toyota,
Nissan, Mitsubishi or almost anything except maybe a Lada.

I stand corrected. Never heard the term "Liberty" applied to a Subaru, but
you've explained that.

I agree--the last Jeep I owned was a 1964 CJ-5 with no top. It was perfect
for the fire roads in the Colorado Rockies where I lived in the mid-1970s.

Wrong Robert...they made a 440.

Guess I was a careless craftsman, but never had a rounded-off hex head nor a
busted knuckle in all the years I used Metric and SAE tools on Whitworths.

Ahhh ... don't you mean Delsnorto? Did it have Cherry Annie forks?

No Cerianis, but the previous owner said they were Norton forks.

Y'all must be very young. By the 1960s Britian had
adopted (BSS?) bolts using
US wrench sizes but with slightly different thread shapes.
However, a few
Whitworth sizes were still found on accessories like
carburettors, dampners and
dynamos. Six-point US box wrenches would fit all but a
couple of them OK.

Thank you. Did you read that, BB?

Don't they have a big annual tomato fight in some Italian
town?
