Yesterday i took my first testdrive for aprox 5km. It went real good no
problems at all. I did this at 00.30 in the night. The sun was shining and
the birds singing. YES you did read right, the sun was shining...

I will taste some wine of the nordic type. Clear white with a "ABSOLUT"
taste.

I think the spit would run excellent on this kind of fuel but however much
i like the spit it would be a waste. Or! its better if i test how i run on
this fuel first so i dont damage the spits engine.(Aprox 60%).  Based on
earlier tries you get a good effect     but if the rpm is to high, the
effect will be too strong and you may lose control. After loosing the
control you will have serious   starting problems in the morning.

Does anyone else have this experience?

I don't know about fuel but I found that when re-installing a transmission
and the spline shaft  is being very reluctant to go into the clutch it is
nesessary to utilize a special lubricant whose name escapes me right now. 
It is a four letter word that starts with a "B".  Let me think... oh yeah..
its comming back to me now... its, its, um, oh yeah, its beer.  Yes thats
it beer.  ;-)

Dave Massey,
On the road somewhere in the USA (sans Triumph but with laptop)

P.S. Is it true that a Norwegien is a Swede with his brains shot out? ;-)
