Good set of pictures there, just needs a bit of cropping, levels and sharpening in photoshop (other photo editing packages are available ) As there is no EXIF info on the file so I can not help with advise on technique, post details of settings if you want further comment.

Hey man like the bike, if your can has no stamp that is fine. It's only if it has a not for road use stamp you need to get it changed

Taxed the rex last month while it still had current MOT and haven't used it yet - work has got in the way.
Changed the coolant thermostat and antifreeze, changed the oil and filter, fitted the new speedo cable, adjusted the chain and lubricated it, checked the lights and brakes (Must change the fluid on them soon)
MOT ran out so was booked for yesterday
Advised of a a slight play in front wheel bearing (I already have all new wheel bearings purchased ready for when I refurb the wheels and get rid of the red) but other than that all good and a pass is a pass in my book.
Next run out will be the BMF Rally

So went to the Copdock Motorcycle show today and on the way out there wasn't a huge queue for the dyno so thought I'd see how many pit ponies had escaped in 29 years...... Here it is on the dyno I may have video later as it was chucking some cracking flames out on the overun The dyno operator asked me what I thought it would make - I said if it made 100 bhp I'd be happy as that's what it feels like it has Little bit above 100 and it seems 3/4 of a hp has escaped for every year it's been on the road - not too shabby

Well after a few more years use and no problems at all I got scratched another itch and bought another project.
If anyone fancies this and would like to make sensible offers it is now surplus to my requirements however as I am very good at buying stuff and useless at selling anything it's currently tucked up warm and dry in the back of my garage with no MOT and a very tired battery. I would put a new battery on it and MOT it for anyone seriously interested.
