Noise

Well went out in the shed last night and done a tiny bit more to her, i would have had the throttle cables in and the throttle grip on the bars but for some strange reason the pull cable has grown an extra inch in length and the grip jams in the new little housing i got for it, the cable isn't fouwling up the the housing so not quite sure whats goings on there so will have to spend some time out there again to night. Any ways, as ive done away with the old tank, the space that contains the fuel pump, ignition barrel and a load of wires and that is now fully exposed to the free world, so sat at my desk over Christmas i remember that at my father inlaws i still have some junk from my old shed in which i had a big bit of car grill mesh, so i nip off grab a good chunk of it a sprayed it black. And this is what it looks like.

Nope, no helmet needed to ride a quad, but on a bike and side cart, helmets for the guy and pillion on the bike, no helmet for the person in the cart.

What's wrong with it? (bar the fact it won't start)

Put me down as a Maybe as well. will need to see if the wife has the day off work and if Betty is road worthy Its 130 miles for me from Yeovil down the A303

Im going, (again) and may even try and get betty on a stand

I agree, Linux is wank, got it on my little note book at home that hardly gets turned on due to thecrap running system.

Yer was going for the hydro dipped route but then the wife spotted the rising costs and she's pinning me down on my spending, even thought the hydro dipping just the tank was only £60! but nope she has spoken so i will just get it done after the next season. Yellow zip ties where what ive got at the moment and will be getting some black ones from work this week, just waiting for them to be delivered to the production area

I used two fat screw drivers for trye levers

Yep all about the monies, i agree that the crater faced burbury Maccy D racers should all take the same licence restrictions as the bikers should. it happens over in places like Sweeden and other EU countries. As for the little rally welshwan not so long ago (think Sept 2011) there was a MAG rally all over the country about bike modifications, 15mph down main duel Carridge ways and motorways how much new coverage did that get.....................next to fook all and im not even sure what the out come was. Still a jolly good laugh and ride out.

Nice one Welsh, Is it a runner or have you got to do a few bits to get it on the road?

Yep spot on really, yes there are bits I've done a nice job on but then there's the bits I've deliberately missed like the engine mounts, "perfectly imperfect" so nowi don't have to spend ages washing it polishing it etc etc before I ride her, and if I get caught in a rain storm then I'm still not going to worry ha ha. Tank is getting painted tho

Not sure if you guys watched this the other day but i thought it was brilliant. Yet another victory for that epic Hornby toy!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abvAEM7ehNg

Love the look of them pipes Tommy, very sexy. Cant comment on how to treat them inside tho as never done it or heard about doing it, but out of the options given by the YOC gods i think a nice dollop of High temp paint would do the trick and i "think" the Halfords VHT paint has a 5-8 year garentee??? but dont quote me on it. Hammerite direct to rust paint or even hammerite red oxide paint definatly has a 8 year garentee on it.

Ha...........yer when im 78

BOM BOM!!

You guys are so lucky! i got bolloked by 'er in doors for re spoking the wheels on the kitchen table!

Bikes coming on really nicely matey, i agree that you need some thing to go under the seat etc. Keep up the good work

Bladdy part timers!

Yer same here mate, it was one of them mornings for me, 0500hr start, took dog for a walk and she found the biggest muddy puddle in somerset and then the battery dies on my car so had to push it to the wifes car and jump start it

Yes yes i am. ha ha, na just been recovering from all the whisky and sprouts mate, but i have been a very busy boy tho, here is what i have achieved over the Christmas break. Frame painted, Engine in, Wire's in, Battery, CDI, Fuses and cubby hole in Carbs In, Forks on She is looking very nice and im proud to say she really dose look perfectly imperfect

Hey guys and gals, happy new year to you all, hope you had a great Christmas and all that. I did! went through 3 litres of Jack Dans and a crap load of turkey, pork and sprouts!!! (o and very thick gravy yum yum) lets see what 2014 brings us. So far its just been floods floods and a little bit of wind (think thats the sprouts tho)
