Back to the Metisse Henry Cole is/was riding in SA

The next (now last, as in previous) episode revealed the tops of both rear shocks had broken off!

No reason for the breakage was forthcoming, but apparently it happend/was found, when the bike wasn't being ridden - not sure I quite understand  Huh

Oil leaks - this was stated as being a crack in the frame (oil in frame machine). ahem! I thought this was a bike that had recently been built........  Undecided

Seems the 'old' Triumph motor wasn't to blame for the oil leaks after all, bless it.

There's nowt as light as a hole, so add lightness.

Nitro doesn't add power, it multiplies it! Bob Loux, running 10.07 secs @138mph on a 650 normally aspirated Triumph drag bike in 1965!

KTM - apparently had a small fuel line come off the injection system (or something like that).
