A blow by blow account of rebuilding my 1961 Velocette Venom and my struggles with the world of motorbikes in general.

Clubmans Ratios

A last post before the rigours of the week then.

It's funny where YouTube surfing takes you.  I went back to the Honda video previously posted and followed the links on the YouTube sidebar.  I was going from one clip to the next when I found this.

Ok, not a Venom either but it is a Velocette (actually if you tune an MSS you more or less end up with a sort of Venom anyway).  The sensory deprivation of twenty five years lifted away when I heard the soundtrack.  No, it's not the tappets clattering away, not the respectable way he nips up the road.  More fundamental than that... just count the gear changes.
