I like to throw a curve ball in every now and then !! Fugly for sure, but no questioning the mechanical abilities of the builder, providing it all works as it should !! Dusty P.s And please, no pics of your genital warts ! Dusty

Dusty He must have seen a lot of genital warts Dusty to know what a good one looks like 🤣 As for the "curved ball" I know what you mean about the engineering skill but I'd have to question his sanity on that single side front end 🤔 Steve

As you say Dusty a clever piece of engineering and a lot of hours in that one. Single sider at the rear and double single side at the front (grafted from a donor), reverse head plus loads of one off fab work - clever but........... I love my Brit bikes but is that one for me? Don't think so Someone with a beard, man bun, tattoos and lots of piercings would have that (no offence to anyone on here but you have already set yer stall out with the 2 strokes lol)

That comment resembles me, beard check, tattoos check, piercings check, man bun erm no hair, and even I have my boundaries. How to ruin a perfectly decent T140 irrespective of the engineering. Sorry to disappoint chaps but no genital warts here.

considering the original frame couldnt really handle the power of a 350, can only imagine what that is like!

John brittain absolute legend, his bikes are amazing. If you haven’t seen it there is a 4 part documentary on YouTube about him, he didn’t just build a bike he built his house a speedboat etc etc etc fascinating man sadly taken too soon.

Yep that’s Graham the bloke bending over maybe Dom trickett and I think the other guy is called paul. My younger brother worked for Nck speed shop and I worked for Nck. ( north Coventry Kawasaki ) Graham was good but Dom was the man for these motors. Proper old skool Pb readers special 👍

Got a feeling that was taken before they moved from the foleshill road premises but before my time, I’ll send it to Dom for confirmation.

A few nice things going on here with this hybrid Dusty. USD, single sider at the back so frame is modded for the shock and lots of polish, but I am drawn to the PV motor with LC clutch cover and what looks like a hydraulic clutch. V nice indeed I think I could spend a bit of time going over this one John

I was going to ask is that what it says on the side panel. Do you know what injection system they used Dusty?

Thanks OEB! It's expensive and perhaps not worth the effort on a 2 carb bike? I've only ever had cars with injection and the difference between that and carbs is startling. I'll have injection any day. For example my truck has a single Weber on it that is nothing but trouble. Last truck was injection and never had to touch it.
