    Unfortunately I threw away your reminder email without opening it, but I
    finally manage to measure the width of the engine.

    Approx 45cm at the widest point of the crankcase.

    What about a nice little twin.
    I have been looking at shite old CD175's on ebay recently, one of those
    could be a good binliner special.

    But it would be nice to put it on something that achieved a scary top speed
    because of it!

  14. Just think, though, If he can get that heap to Chimay, what do you
