Thumpa:
For some strange reason, I have more photos of the wiring work I have performed on Thumpa since owning him as apposed to actual photos of him in his glory, i'll rectify this as soon as the sun comes out for you designer...I believe you know thumpa well ;)

'Tis Always a pleasure to meet & chat with you also. :wink:

Those are some MightyFine Choppers you have there, Bro! :rock: :space: Please do!,...post more Pix of your Bad Boyzzz! :cheers: :clap:

And,...you know,...over the years past, I've often thought about Grey Wolf and wondered how he's doing. :Umm: :space: I had no way of contacting him,..so it was always just a thought. :dunno:

Back in the Hey Day of customizing and chopping 1400's on the Purple Board, we had quite a few nice discussions about both our 1400's and his Side-mounted Delorto Carb Intake setup. :space: He might not know this,...but,..He inspired me to make my own Side-mount Dual Throat Intake Manifold,...I put it on my Springtail Chopper.

He mentioned you by name when I went to collect Thumpa, he had many a tail to tell and we discussed how Thumpa and yours could of been twin sisters with Dellorto side mount.

He also spoke highly of your conversations back in the Purple Board days and I've got to be honest, I found photos of your beast some time ago and have often been my screen saver....AME Frame I'm guessing? Absolutely beautiful.

I most certainly will post more photographs for you as soon as. I recently realised I have a huge amount of imagery of the build of Helga, my 97, and so I am going to compile them start to finish. I will be doing the same with Thumpa.

Unfortunately, Helga, is currently not well. I have found chunks of magnetic metal in the sump after she took a knock a few weeks ago. So she is on the bench awaiting surgery. Thinking the gear selector forks have cracked/snapped at this point which means bottom end tear down :(

Thumpa is awaiting the final jigsaw piece of a new MOSFET regulator rectifier as the one he had decided to go bang a few weeks ago and blow the battery and new E-box that was installed. It's all goof fun and games that's for sure.

Much more than that. Your videos have some of the best production values of any motorcycle DIYs on YouTube.
