Do these engineers talk to each other ? They may be a bit snakey if one of them has done his $ ticket 'cause of you. Built an enduro bike in '78 nickel bronze brazed up the frame in cold drawn seamless. Put on a stock tank instead of the alloy hand made one,stamped a # on the frame and went to rta @ Roseberry
then rta headquarters. It was a wet day so they just got me to do a little circut in the yard to 'check the brakes'. Nutin like the good ol daze.
