Curiosity has the best of me.
At 1:54 the rider passes a red and white striped post with a white triangular sign with a red edge around it.
The black images on the sign look like the image of a man relieving himself on a big rock.
What does it mean?

Hah, from the description I thought the vid would be in India.  I think that's a dude digging with a shovel, ie, "works in progress."  Could be mistaken, though. 

Certainly a nice bike, but I don't know if I saw enough of him taking that one bend at a moderate pace...

Cool.
Actual Egli Super Bullets are very rare. That is the first one that I have ever seen in action.

Good stuff, but no trafficators? And, is that an oil pressure gauge? Would love to see a shot of that while the engine is running.

I worked on one of those engines a few years back and remember splitting the crank for some reason that escapes me at present. The crank was very simillar to the Alpha / Hitchcocks long stroke types, but of 105mm stroke rather than the 103mm stroke for the 570/612 conversions. The one I worked on had an alloy conrod with parrallell crankpin and roller big end. It also had an Accralite piston and alloy barrel, as well as a ported head. If I get time to dig through my work diaries, I might recall more about that job, but I remember the owner being happy with it once it was running again.

That's interesting the 612 I have has a steel conrod. I wonder why they used an alloy rod?   ERC

Hows the balance with that extra weight? Did you rebalance after the build?

[ROVERMAN]

You morons, those guys are the shadowy group known in Europe as "the umbrella pushers". The signs are a warning to anyone foolish enough to mess with them!

Sounds like my Goldie- equipped,mostly stock '99 Deluxe...although I thought it was only ME who could hear Booker T and the MG's playing "Green Onions" every time I ride...

Great vid. The bike sounds fantastic..I was thinking it was summer now. The men at work sign is behind what looks like a high water mark pole..Is that a 34 m carb? Thanks for the clip, I watched it twice. I remember that music playing on the AM radio.  GM
