I rather enjoyed this topic and the little banter and gentle argie-bargie that went with it. A bit of light relief from all the political correctness that is thrust upon us and particlarly as all the protaganists appeared suitably well disposed to their subject. So, to you all thank you and Stu, I know you are touchy on spelling. Syllabus is spelt with an a not an i.
Interestingly, I wonder how many other members of this site are also motorcyclists. GoldWing and Stratoliner me me. Unfortunately I'm on the wrong continent to join you, but if you do ride to the conference, have a safe one.
Iron,
I have followed this thread with much interest. I have had my C40 Anyang (88lbs) for over 10 years and it has performed flawlessly with one exception, the oiler. Please give me some insight into what has been done by the American importer to remedy this rather irritating problem.
I can vouch for everything positive said about the Anyang. I bought mine directly from the factory in China through the internet and the service I received from them was unbelievably excellent. I also have a Chinese lathe which is ok-ish but not in the league of the Anyang
Thanks,
Kevan
I have watched the progress with much interest and am very impressed with the result. As Beth said, sometimes you have to ignore the hours, they are gone, in any case, your effort will be around for a long time. Well done.
"....forged in the crucible of training" I fail to see the problem. It is perfectly acceptable metaphorical language, and quite eloquent in fact. How did this lead to blacksmiths shoeing horses?
