I was yes.
I may name this bike the Torrey Canyon, I am sure there was more oil on me than in the engine. There has been a breather fitted to the plate that covers the pushrods at the top and I didn't fit a pipe to it, so that is an understandable leak, there was a fair bit coming out of the bottom of the pushrod tubes so they need some kind of a tablet, that should calm the leaks down.
Noise testing wasn't without problems, I went without any baffle first and it failed at 108db, I then fitted a Supertrap end with a 50mm hole in it and failed again at 106db I then fitted a end plate with a 40mm hole and it passed but they didn't say what the reading was.
The exhaust sticks out too far where my leg is and this makes the footrest too short and my foot kept slipping off. It went fairly well apart from that, I got to within 4 seconds of the Seeley's time and feel there is more to come. The handling feels better than the Seeley at first impression so if I can get a few more horses from the motor it is good to go.
Actually I need to get it to run again first before I go chasing ponies, in the last session it started to cut out, I pulled in to change the plug for a new one and managed half a lap before I was pushing it back to the pits, I think it is BTH mag related but haven't had time to look yet.
The lack of time is related to running round to get a test on my van, the realisation that the test had run out was due to being asked for my documents by the driving instructor that I had just run into at a roundabout. His student set off and then stopped, I didn't, totally my fault of course but the annoying thing is the DVLA have been taking the money each month for the vans tax whilst the test had run out, they usually send a message saying that the van cannot be taxed because it doesn't have an MOT, they haven't done that this time. It passed with no advisories, but I don't think that will help.
