Gallon of 4 star..

I recall 4 Star and 2 star. We're there any other ' stars'?

Yes, 5 star, 100 octane- for the "high" compression engines!!!

This is one of the 2.3 million stones that were supposedly cut, transported, and lifted to construct the Great Pyramid over 5,000 years ago.

Reminds me of this.
It's been a few years since last time I went to watch.
For those interested it's on the 2nd an 3rd of may in Kinlochleven

I used to ride a Beamish Suzuki similar to the one below in local trials many years ago great way to spend a Sunday.

Scottish pre 65 trial.

Never looks as steep as it actually is on video.

I don't doubt you but who would buy the 3 star? More to the point, what engines ran on, 2 / 3 / 4 star? 5 star high compression as mentioned above.
I think I ran a 2 stroke motor-bike on 2 star and added a little oil into the tank as well. Jawa 350. Bit of a beast.

Here's one from yesterday. Mrs Clint took me to Llangollen to see some old house that wasn't open. Instead we walked round the gardens and down in the wood by the stream. Which was nice.
I subtly ruined this picture...zoom in on me! Ha!

Where’s that in Llan?

It's called Plas Newydd. The attraction this time of year are the crocuses. Here's the Mrs photo from yesterday.

I'm not sure what 3* went into.

I remember my dad using 2* in the first 2 smaller engined renault4s he had, but moved up to 4* when he got the a GTL one with a 1100cc engine.

So I guess 2* was used by likes of mini 850s & 2cvs as well.
All my friends dad's with their company cortinas used 4*

"jawa 350" and "bit of a beast" in the same sentence.

Please elaborate, cos I am reasonably sure, no knee pads were harmed during the ownning of a jawa

Ha ha - 0-60 in a week.
It was my biggest and heaviest bike - hence beast. Before the beast were Hondas, 50 75 & 125.
The 125 took myself and then g/f to the Loire valley + camping equipment! G/f now wifie. The Honda effect.

A small part of me wanted you to come back with... I changed the sprocket set, tuned the carb, popped a micron on it and won every speedway event I entered for the next 5 years

When I was growing up, my next door neighbour's dad had one of those. It was a beast, if you tried to kickstart it like a Japanese bike it'd have your leg off
