Anyone that bothers to check this blog has probably seen this video already,but its worth saving here. Taking Toms passing into account it seems right to upload it this week,Tom may have left us but his dream is still very much alive and healthy.

Innovation and inspiration,words cant describe the impact that Tom Fugal had on the world of choppers. He moved on,leaving his wife Jennie,dog Lakota and all his brothers of  El Forastero MC. His influence spanned the world and his inspiration definitely made the world a better place. Ride in Peace Tom,you will not be forgotten. With thanks and respect.

I had to 'lap out' the Internal of my N.o.s. tappet blocks. Usually the old blocks are badly worn because of the soft aluminium, but mine were running slightly tight.
