Hi Eldert, I got to play with the GP and get it to run, Very noisy ,sounds like a 350!, No tickover ,fitted with a long track 27mm SSI. What a fantastic machine ,I suspect that would need some work on the exhaust to be allowed to run anywhere.

No pictures ,the machine is not mine ,privacy and security and respect for the owner precludes that. I will however try to get the sound recorded if the session is repeated. I had thought to do that but had my hands(and head) too full . This was my first experience of starting on rollers and I was also concerned about some real fire risks. It also was reluctant to run below 6000 revs.

Hi Joe, The 125 DOHC is being prepped for an outing soon. It will be paraded on a uk race circuit. I may decide to go and take my 250 M3/M1 . It may be its last outing for a while . I need to swop the race cam for a green white , Going to borrow one from a mate. Tied up at present with brit bikes in bits and Jap 1000 Cuckoo.
