Thanks Mike,

I have the British Racing Green 01 ST.

Thanks for the information on breaking-in and the difficulties you've had.
I'll watch that clutch cable for sure.  The weather has been great here in
North Carolina, USA and after 2 days I have 350 miles and still did some
work out of my home.

Don
01 ST
