1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

What a wonderful find, Ken!

Brings back a lot of black-and-white memories from the past.

My motorcycling started in 1950 with my Sun Villiers 98, followed by my Royal Enfield 350 Bullet, Royal Enfield 350 Model G, AJS 500 Twin Model 20 + Sidecar, BSA 650 Twin Super Rocket* + Sidecar, Vincent HRD 998 V-Twin + Sidecar, Honda RSD 250, Honda XBR 500 single, CBR 600 four, CBR 900 Fireblade, Yamaha RXS 100, and my present joy, my CB 500 RR Twin.

...with various assortment in between...

At the same time in 1950 my dear old Dad bought himself a BSA 250 C15, followed by an Excelsior 250 Talisman Twin.

We all went touring on our bikes for many years from 1950, Me, Mum, Dad, and Sister, until Dad died in 1989 (aged 89).

We still have lots of black and white photos of those happy times!

I still enjoy my motorbikes today, in fact they have been, (and still are), my only mode of transport for the past 30+ years, since I sold my 1931 Brooklands Riley 9, 1-1/2 seater GP racing car!

I shall soon be 80 years of age, and I cant foresee a time yet when I finally have to give up my daily love of motorcycling...

..including getting wet and cold!... ;D...!

Paul....Meep-Meep.... 8-)...!

Bike it...You'll like it!.... ;D...!
