Greetings...Alb here, What's buzzin' you may well ask! Right here goes..For starters I haven't heard anything more about the Brexit Sausage War lately. Maybe it's been silently resolved? Aye, sounds about reet. Stealth sausage agreement. Blighty can now only export 'Linda McCartney quorn options.. What about Covid19? Well....the meme here in Blighty seems to be, 'Get Jabbed and then its 'Mingletastic-time'... Get down to 'Spoons' take a few deep breaths and see if the vaccine has really created immortality. Hang on!! Here in 'The Old Sidevalve Bar' a rather more cautious approach is operating. Very small mingles, then at least 2-3 weeks self isolation before considering another small mingle. ... Big mingles out of the question!!!!! (and only Old English Pork Bangers in the breakfast buttie)
Self isolation - Best done in a shed is my recommendation. Doing it in the company of a CZ has got to be one of lifes bestest experiences.
Here goes then - Gonna make me another special competition part. A high level exhaust. Last thing I need when squirting this lively Blauwe Muis motorcycle through the muddy fields of Flanders is to rip the muffler off by getting tangled in a patch of nettles..
Purchased from China via ebay a 'Motorcycle 45mm I.D. Exhaust pipe Muffler Silencer Expansion DB Killer Chamber. "Holy Dookin massive power increase Batman!" What can possibly go wrong?
Here's a couple of diagrams from the advertisement showing the dimensions and 'Working Scrinciple'
'Working Scrinciple?' Velly velly vell design givee maxeee revee when fitee honourable C.Z.eeee. The 45mm dia inlet and outlet was as near a match to the C.Z. pipe size of 42mm I could get.
Second purchase was a 304 stainless bend - 41.3mm OD X 1.5mm wall x 61.9mm (1.5D) CLR This also from ebay but UK supplier 'Tubebender' The size again was as near to the C.Z. original front pipe diameter as I could find. I did also spot on the afore mentioned Ebay an 'Exhaust Pipe Expander' Yowzah!!! How timely, just as I need one, there it is available for good pricey...£18!!! All in inc post. Like a gift from the gods. Buy! Buy! Buy it now!!!!
So lets have a small interlude as many parcels of vital race components start heading towards 'The Old Sidevalve Bar' from all corners of the globe. Whilst they do, it's time for an official beer break....as many as ya like 'cos the postman may be some days.
Post Brexit EU option - Plant based Sausage with additional 'Garlic Skins' and 'Vine Stalks' anybody?
Just joking - Stay safe- Help out - Only eat the meaty ones.
