Careful where you are going with this I'm an old man, also I have to say I don't think I mentioned her age, I believe she was considerably younger than me. None the less than you for your comments.
I have used that supplier many times and good service and quality. It's not only drivers that you notice have had their brains affected lots of very strange behaviour spotted .🤔 Always expect the unexpected from other road users ,it helps . Cheers.
It's nice to see you back; I thought that you might be unwell. Do you have a proper name, such as Mike, Dave, Steve, Bob or something, and may we know it?
Yes. My name is Andy, I thought I had mentioned it once before but no matter. I am always in a state of personal disrepair, old age does not come alone.
Thanks for the Falcone valve clearance info. I am looking to purchase the oil line upgrade that enables more oil to the inlet rocker valve assembly from the exhaust oil line. The Dutch company LMN no longer manufactures it. Anyone know where I can get before I put something together myself? The extra oil and setting the clearance as you have suggested will hopefully stop the 'clack' I have on my 1974 Militare. As for modern drivers and a lack of confidence and skill? Agree entirely and its not helped by modern cars all being huge.
In my humble opinion it is the inlet valve that is the noisy one, I know nothing of any upgrades to the system, if you find one or a diagram of how to make it I would love to learn about it.
@@oldguyinshed1703 Yep definitely, the inlet is the culprit. TLM in Holland made an extra oil line that joined the existing oil line to the exhaust rocker hole and took oil to the top inlet rocker hole/plug. There are pictures of this on a few forums. It wasn't elegant, but worked well apparently. I tried TLM recently, but they no longer make it. I will try and get made up locally to me in Bridgnorth area. I will send pic and info if I can. Not sure if I can attach info to there replies?
@@oldguyinshed1703 Hi Andy. I found this on a Falcone forum from 2014. Hope it helps? I am keen to get this done. Good luck.

I decided to make my own. Here’s how I did it, and the mistakes I made (so that you won't make them as well). First I acquired a 8mm and a12mm single ended banjo union and matching bolt. These I took to my local hydraulic pipe service to have about 250mm wire braided oil line crimped on. Next remove the 16mm blanking plug from the rocker box, drill and tap this to suit the 8mm banjo bolt. Note: the normal 8mm bolt has a pitch of 1.25mm, whereas the banjo was 1mm, so the 8mm tap that you might buy at your local hardware shop is probably not going to do. Luckily I had a 8 x 1 to hand. However to prevent too much oil being delivered to the top of the engine some form of restriction needs to be fitted to the system. In the professional made version this is achieved by fitting a number 60 Dell'Orto jet. These have a 6mm x 1 thread and happily this is a standard size, so the 8mm banjo bolt was tapped this size and the jet screwed into it's end. The OD of the jet was somewhat larger than 8mm so once fitted in the bolt it was skimmed down to size. On the right hand side of the engine there is a “U” shaped pipe held on with 2 “Acorn” 12mm nuts. Remove the top one of these and replace with a short adaptor made from 19mm hexagon, about 30mm long, drilled and tapped to suit. Now this is where I went wrong, so pay attention. The banjo bolt as supplied was 12 x 1.5 (standard bolts are 1.75 pitch) As I had a 1.5 tap I thought all would be well, it wasn't. The engine turned out to be 12 x 1.25. So I had to make a new adaptor and banjo bolt. To do this I purchased a tap and die set off E-bay at a cost a less than £7.00, possibly not the best quality, but for what was probably going to be a single use I didn't think it mattered much. With the new adaptor in place the pipe was fitted, not forgetting new sealing washers and the job was done. The photos my previous posts show the completed set up.
You are right the Paso has indeed been left in the corner waiting patiently for me to get to it. I know little of the 750ss but I would guess its the same motor. If so I like the belt driven cam engines.
there's one of those old ladies in every village, but the old men are even more popular.

Good purchase! I remember those Stadium "bar end" mirrors well. Good to see/hear you posting again 👍
Its funny the stuff we remember from the distant past
@@oldguyinshed1703 And even funnier some of the stuff we forget! 😅😅😅 Just keep enjoying your glass of red 👍

I am very impressed with the service and product. You are right about the unexpected.

Off topic. We haven't seen (heard) much of the Ducati Paso. Did I miss something? Only asking as I am considering a 750ss.
