When (or if) I ever get a scanner, I'll get up in the loft and dig out the photos of my Bonnie crank, with one half in each side of the crankcase when I split it, to find out why it stopped.

That carnage was my fault really I heard it starting to knock in the penultimate race of the meeting. I was having so much fun that day, I could resist going in the allcomers race at the end of the day.............and did I nurse the engine?

Somewhere? in the shed, I've got a bolt from the center flywheel of my Beezer A10 embeded in a chunk of crankcase - lesson learned about reusing crank bolts My bacon was saved from wheel lock up by the primary chain snapping - this then wrapped around the clutch hub and took out the primary cases

Happy days
