In the RAF we were always told when you change something you put a completely different item on, the correct term should be replace when you put the same sort of item on. Then there is the whole wheel/tyre thing

There was me thinking that you lot just Christmas tree’d other aircraft and robbed bits to make 1 working whirly bird and left others rotting

Very g

very good!....and that would be on a 3 speed Bantam, probably a D5. I've done a lot of miles on a Bantam (I have two), but NEVER that far!!

Must admit I don’t know the term D5. It wasn’t a 125 or 175. They were green weren’t they?. The one I had was a 150, colour brown. A few years ago, I spoke to some guys showing vintage bikes. AJSs, etc and one said that my bike would be a limited edition? He wanted to know if I still had it because it would be worth a few bob now.
The answer, unfortunately , is No.
