So Dave came over to lend a hand to adjust and bleed the brakes, get the clutch happening and to help fire her up!

Fun n games with the brakes as the new bleeder valves were blocked :problem: :crazy: but he got it sorted in the end. We have brakes.

Next was the clutch which didn't want to play either and we had fluid coming out of the bleeder valve there too. Will have to come back to that.

Finally the moment I've been waiting for...firing Old Timer up for the first time. I just had to dig out one of my old Kustom Kroozer t-shirts for the occassion... :oops:

Video #1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwFOE6lAzbU&feature=plcp
In the first video check out the backfire at 38 seconds. Dave nearly lost his eyebrows.

Video #2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igOSX08MEjQ&feature=plcp
In the second video my wife comes out and complains it's too loud :roll: :lol: She was only joking. At 1:28 Dave says "Is there oil in the gearbox..." :shock: :oops: :roll: So we shut her off...

But boy she was pretty loud for a 138. :esurprised:

Happy happy. :D 8)

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital
ingredient in beer
