so how short is he then ? would he get in a panto as one of the seven ?

Why not put the spare engine in, and rebuild the original one to 175cc and give it some attitude? She’d love that!

Now, Paul, someone was supposed to ask you: we’re not supposed to make fun of @Marcel for being really short. So please, regardless of how short he is, don’t make fun of him as he likes to think he’s really tall!

im surprised you haven't got one.

@Marcel you have a twin who likes singing as well ?

That was before the service.

Well finally got to the bottom of the rattle, nothing to do with the cam chain in the end. It was the bearing which in the inlet rocker runs in, the bearing broke down and opened up the inlet valve clearance intermittently. . I had to give up and take the bike to my trusted guy who found it. He is going to strip the parts from my spare engine tomorrow to get Shadow back on the road as the bearing we need is on back order. So I am going to put an order in for that bearing and sort my spare engine again so that it is ready to go back in when I get the bike back in the future. I not saying I wouldn't have found it, it's just if I started the job the pressure would have been on to get it done and I am not a mechanic and like to do things slowly to get it right, rather than fuck things up by rushing while I was learning to do it.

Audience looks a bit thin ...

25th, so a bit over 2 weeks, I will be 61 I still feel about 20 in my head. My back aches, ankle is a bit knackered, shoulder aches due to a pinched nerve in my neck, half of my right leg is numb, so my body doesn't quite feel 20. ... but according to my wife I act like I'm about 12 most of the time.

True story?

Preaching here today.

Looking nice, get a water fixture and it’ll be very “Mr, Miyagi”!

I don’t think it could. But there are worse looking bikes, at least it’s not trying hard to look like a Harley.

Fence completed, that’s the garden nearly done now .

I’m 67 on that day

What date ?

I quite like the look of these although most don't. I was just thinking upright seating wide bars and that little gem of a motor doing 80/90mpg, perfect little back road ride.

Mines the 17/9. 60 then

Perhaps the 1100 Rebel could be an option for you

Really looking 4ward to getting to our reserved campsite this afternoon...friends we're camping with already secured it. Packed up the truck yesterday...decided to take the Manual...Mongoose mtn. bike, since I haven't thrown a leg over it for awhile. Just gotta pack up 2 coolers, collect the dogs & we're gone!

Happy birthday for 2 weeks time..

The thunder and lightning always seems to skirt round us. It’s the only upside of going to see the in-laws in Florida, they have some really good storms. I was standing in the porch way watching a really good thunderstorm a few years back and lightning hit the ground just the other side of the garden fence. I nearly shat myself.
