I dont think he meant any harm.. ..I must admit you have really looked after it as it looks in great condition, have you had it since new Stirling..?

Bought it about 6 years ago off a 'mate'
Im the 9th owner on the log book, so the bike is lucky to have survived in the condition it has.
Dont think there's many 80's Armandos left.
Its goin in me house when I move into new place (as a single man)

Was great for about 8000 mls then started to 'play' again.
Fitted a Parmakit variable ignition, changed the 34 flat slide Dell to a 30 PJ Mikuni and slung in a V-Force reed.
Was mental up the road, fastest it has ever been, but on dyno it was shown to be running lean over 7000 rpm. PJ not working.
Had to go up, up, up on main jet. Came off dyno with a gnats more power than it had in previous spec.
Not that happy,as felt it was £500 down the drain
Didn't feel any different on the road either.
Buzzed around on it, town, country lanes. Still had great 'grin factor'.
Then took it, or attempted to, Sheppy rally in June.
10 miles of A/B roads to motorway was ok. Then 3 miles of motorway, lost power.
Took plug out and can see end of conrod through hole in crown.
It has sat in me garage ever since

That would be the Stella/Blue WKD your having flashbacks of
One day I might sell my 16 Vespas, and put all the money towards a Lamebwetta. Then I could join the Elite!!!
