if anyone's going down to the Bath and West classic bike show next weekend keep an eye out on the NHCA (National Hill Climb Assoc.) stand as I got my Egli on the stand for the weekend!

Looks like you got your hands full there.
Been there before when my brotherinlaw(also my bestest mate)bought a short wheel base lightweight ex army landrover.What a bag of shite that was,alot better when we shoe horned in the spanking new V8 though!

He is now pining for a forward control.

I'll keep an eye out Stempy

Aiy, there's Land Rover bits all around the house and garden at the moment, think I heard my parents mumbling about letting me heat motorbike crankcases up in the cooker in the future to prevent a re-occurance of this

101FC's are rocketting up in value now as there was only originally 2000 made, and the best bit is that they come with a V8 already installed

There is something about Land Rover's, a certain aura about them, oh hold on.... that's the smell of transmission fluid seeping out

all going to plan I should be visiting your part of the world with the landie this July to do some touring of the war supply routes across the alps, trying to decide whether to strap the R11S in the back, a Vincent HRD or cut the weight to save on the astronmic fuel bill

Wow, Land + bike.....i bet it will be a great journey!!
Ehm....what about adopting an italian biker during the travel? I take a little place, I don't make dirty, I don't bark too much and I wag my tail every time you turn on the bike....

There's a great off-road ex-military way which starts from the coast of Liguria, near the French border, and climb up to the western Alps to Val di Susa, called "Via del sale". It's known to be an off-road paradise (both for scenario and for driving pleasure):

I know Susa, the group I'm going with went there last year and they spent a couple hours showing me what I missed

must get me truck finished and hope they want to pay a visit that way again!
