Somebody is missing a tank that was wrongly addressed and mailed from the USA to Australia.

Do you know the intended recipient?

Wheels are in motion. Arron will be found. DOC's are all being emailed and mechanics are being questioned. Thanks for the heads up.

I've posted something about it over at Bevel Heaven forum too.

Mr.R

No worries it should have been posted to me for my old 900SS. 😏

F'ck me Bruce I've lived 'ere for over 15 years and I can't pronouce most of the Cornish words, listening to the BBC Radio Cornwall news it might as well be in chinese, because I understand it just about as well.
The Cornish language is very similar to Welsh, except down 'ere we don't 'ave bi-lingual road signs....YET!

I know about the accents, my dad's family is from North Devon back to about the Doomsday Book.
15 years'd make you an Emmett to the Cornish or a grockle in North Devon or a blowin here in Tasmania 😝

It's not just the accent Bruce Old Cornish is a completely different language, it's a celtic tounge similar to Welsh, Cornwall is Kernow and Mebyon Kernow meening the Sons of Cornwall is the separatists political party.
I'm mostly known round 'ere as "Not bad for an Englishman". 😏

Back to "My" fuel tank,
I've always wanted one of those but what's the point of having a clear strip when the tank would have to be sealed against modern fuel to stop it leaking, making it impossible to see the fuel level anyway???
Well over 30 years ago now I had an aluminium copy made and it's still as good as the day I fitted it, it also weighs less and holds more fuel than the fibreglass ones.
10 years back along I was talking with a mate Tony Brancato who's a Bevel Ducati specialist and said to him how I'd like a 750SS style tank and he replied...
"Why Steve do you like fuel leaks?"
