Dave (MGD) do you have time to take the Merlin out of your old Y2K change the rear main , and check the heads and gaskets , and repaint the motor over the next month ?
I'm going for a 100 mile ride tomorrow and that will probably be the last trip out this year .
I'm sure you would love to see it again ..
