Dear Coach
England is part of The United Kingdom, a little archipelago of islands just to the North of France which is in Europe.
Devon is right in the South West of England, and North Devon is just a bit above South Devon.
Kind regards
Porky

I WILL do it (if I'm spared)

Many thanks Zarquon

Thanks to all
Porky

Aaaarrrgghhh. Crank failure? Who's Zem; where is "over there". Better get this sorted out while there's still time. The R80 link was amazing. I would never have thought of sawing the arse end off a BMW crankcase to make a bell housing. Food for thought. Roger at Punsun swears his engines a...

Hi, Porkyvee here, real name Tim Baynes from a little Fen Village North of Cambridge UK. I've had this desire to build a diesel motorcycle for a while, and with underfunded early retirement this year, it's time to search for individuality, eccentricity and ECONOMY. The plan is to use a BMW boxer fra...
