some of the ladies from Maureen's, after a few drinks there we went into the newly refurbished Champions, so a small nightcap, but on the way home I saw this,
a Ruka or something similar was on the tank, never heard of it before or seen one,
it reminded me of an old bike that a manufacture had bought all of the plans and jigs and then started to remanufacture them again,
the carburetor looked almost like a mid 1970's Amal whilst the fins of the barrel have been "webbed" this was often used on early 2 strokes as some times the wind would cause the fins to produce a ringing like noise, the only way to find out if your design did this was to build one but by then it was to late if your design did this, so barrels were webbed just in case, some times the manufacturer would put small pieces of rubber in between the fins as a extra precaution in any case,
