That turned up to the Hay on Wye rally. He took it out for a blat on the Saturday. The motor was a BMW unit tuned by Chrysalis Racing and giving something insane like 70bhp. Chassis was a pukka Seeley job.

BMW?????????????????????????

No it wasn't.

It was a bored and stroked special at @720cc and sounded amazing.

I thought it had started life as the motor out of an F650. My apologies if I'm confused.

From a quick shifti at the engine it could have started out as a Beemer.

Mind you I still think all Suzukis are MZ rip-offs.

Oops, the clue to my confusion is in your statement, I didn't look at all and instead relied on a beer-addled memory.  ;)

I also seem to remember that the bloke had a company building oak-framed buildings and the like, and he had a real interest in working to a standard way above building regs when fitting insulation. It must be nice to have customers who will pay for that sort of thing. The other week i reported back to a landlord on a property and told her that I thought a bathroom condensation problem was caused by a lack of insulation. She sent me back to do more looking and I found that the ceiling space had about 1" depth of rockwool installed ( :o). When I told her this she said, "so it is insulated, what are the tenants moaning about". Makes you weep.
