Ric,I didn't expect that answer

 

Always expect the unexpected....then you can’t ever be surprised!!

 

1959 MV 125cc

 

Only in Italy. Why not just use a chain to transfer the rotating motion of a gear to another gear a distance away? You know, like a gearbox output shaft and rear sprocket. it's not like the idea was alien.

Looks nice though. Like a watch.

 

You have to admire the engineering to manufacture those gears in 1959.

 

Or belts

 

I was going to say "Chain or Belts", but I knew the bike was of 1959 and I didn't fancy the idea of 1959 technology belts.

Now stop trying to shamelessly plug your sideline, you thread hijacking whore!

Dave, I’m delighted to see that the XT has found its rightful place in the world !

Whilst clearing out the garage I found some bolts which belong to the crash bars, I’ll semd them up to you when I’m back from Misano.

Really pleased the bike is getting used in the correct environment

cheers Paul....3000 miles and loving it...
