    Nice!
    We had a member who had a double layer in his army-luggagecase and used the heated exhaustfumes to heat his dinner. The fumes through the lower part so he could use the upperpart foor heating food.
    Have no pic tough.

    We have contacts in GB too and been there several times attending ratbikemeetings.
    As in Spain, France, Germany, Poland, Guernsey etc.
    At first when you meet regular (car)people they tend to take some distance but when a conversation starts they all think its great and many times handshakes are part of the moment.
    Much nicer contact with these bikes because every item has a story (to tell). People seem to love those stories as I noticed again today at a supermarket..lol
    Ofcourse only if you don't act like a asshole.. :cool:

    One of the sensors quit on me yesterday, the one on the cylinderhead.
    But as it turned out after some searching while the sun was shining, everything has to be done outside and in november we hardly have sun overhere, the earthlead was loose so EZ fix.

    Looks more like a pie than a cobbler.

    Look at the kickstart. Pie looks like lemon meringue.

    Trying to wrap my head about this one. If you just let it sit and cook you risk damage to the bike from overheating. If you put a pie in there and take off, the chances of the pie making it through the trip are very questionable. I guess I wonder why it was done?

    That's likely just for illustration. If that were mine, I'd wrap the pie entirely in foil and go for a twenty mile run.
    I'm fairly sure that's not one of his, but the late Capn Maurice Seddon used to despatch in London with a series of BSAs, and other old iron. On at least one of them he had a similar arrangement with the exhaust heating a chamber into which he'd load a pot full of raw stew in the morning. By lunchtime, following a morning of runs around the City, he'd have a nicely cooked dinner.
    I imagine he picked up the idea from his time in the army - the Desert Rats and others used to do exactly that kind of thing, and the idea wasn't new then.

    1. Jokes....
    2. It looks like a meat pie to me. With a very nice and poofy top crust.

    There's a spot on the XJ where you can keep half a sub sandwich warm until dinnertime (the other half being eaten for lunch).
