of love, internal goings on and strange happenings

in love again...

a trip to SoLow Chops and it seems it can happen to other people, 

the 'S&S' engine in Clives bike turned out to have big bore (for a 1340) barrels on a 1200 size crank about 5:1 compression!  

 Jays Ironhead was smoking so he found cracked front rings and wrong piston in the rear

 getting the miles in

 something has been eating my bars

pulled her out of the garage for mondays trip out and at first 

thought this was road rash but it looks like I've got 

some garage monster addicted to powdercoat

The Bitch is back...

 earlier last week

a 140 mile trip to Beakys and meet Mr Tibbs and son Drew

and the likely lads inc leightons mate and Leighton, Nick, Tom and Spike

the mag come back from testing @Paul Bruschan Auto Elec

it seems that there is no pin in the drive gear

and probably why it was sold on originally, 

it had sheared and the gear jammed on

Saturday 4pm 12th April, 

2 litres of oil, one litre of six month old petrol and… 

she fires first kick!

More stuff from a planet far far away...

 Finally a full bottle and Free!

A little reminder to self ...

The joys of rural life, Ren did a swap for her Chutney... 

last time I replaced these little circlips I could actually see them!

Olives - How! End of  March?...

Outside the back door in Orford the good life...

A little tip my mate Nick gave me , if you are rattle canning, 
heat up the can in hot water, it works too... 

After realising I do not have three hands, had to take apart the handlebars with internal wiring through the top tree to the twin headlights

fixed to a bracket that clamps the lower tree to the fork legs
a bit of a juggling act involving words like fuck fuck fuck
