RIP , George Foreman

My eldest brother is terrified of flying and the engineering firm he worked for had a few months work on a lighthouse off the coast of the UK somewhere> The only way there and back was by helicopter, After the first day he bought a load of camping and fishing gear and stayed in the lighthouse for a week at a time, He said the time after the helicopter left was great but started getting really stressed as the weekend approached with the thought of the flight off there lol.

Took the Beta out this afternoon no problem with the battery after being stood since February so not sure why it was going into safe mode. Anyhow bike ran flawlessly and had a good billy no mates ride. Just a few photos of the day got to use the silky again Tried to ride the ridge between ruts but failed not too much effort to get it out though

The solution is here..

Plays "BY" himself ffs people are going to get the wrong idea

They do a specific one for the Harley owner as well

You should of bought a Transit

My next youngest brother is a CrewChief aboard this flying egg-beater.... He knows EVERY last nut, bolt & rivet on this beast....& is currently in flight from S. America up to Aurora OR as I type....some 8k+ miles.

Diti, i never liked night flights always gave me the willies, i could never get on with doing night stuff after being a Lad on night patrol in the Jungle always gave me the collywobbles..even today 59 years later

I can't get a decent picture without reflections in the visor because it is so cool.

Looking good Skip. Be interested to hear how you get on with it. Imagine Pete’s reaction, would have kept us all entertained.

This is a one off... any one fancy a day out in a Helicopter, take off from City airport from London fly over to France have Lunch in Toulouse... then a flight along the French coastline back over to uk where we land at a Hotel in the Surrey countryside for drinks and dinner.... so if any of you have or know someone with a helicopter let me know or we cant go.

Collected the bike today and knocked up just over 250 km. Goes lovely, very smooth, extremely comfortable, and a big old lump.

Been out playing bikes again

Is Pete at it again?

Any of that 3 would beat any of the so called top boxers today

Yes Bob, I was 21 when it became law June 1st 1973.

I think @Six30 has pulled his helmet a lot more than that.

Loads of times

Coal tips and nadgery forestry , great stuff

excellent , can he get it over here so we can the trip i have organised ?

Gay.

Should leave it like that Bob looks mad max ish, although might be difficult to see where your going with the bonnet up LOL.

Going to refit the water pump to the rover in a bit. She'll want to go shopping so the water pump may take a while. Round a friends tonight for a drinking games night. See you Tuesday.

Windy & Wet here weatherwise....a bit of Tequila shooting on the schedule for this evening I finally got the Tuff-strips installed in Mrs. Hook's trike tires- as well as a shift cable adjust. Got 3 good days coming next week...temps in the 70'sF Good time for a test ride & any fine-tuning that needs to be done.

@Six30 has his crayons primed and ready ..............

In a fit of enthusiasm I did my instrument rating too - hardest thing I’ve ever done.

Yet here we are.

Anyone who can read a book while riding a unicycle and balancing an egg on their nose can fly a helicopter.

Possibly , can I borrow your trailer ?

Ren remembers thinking the Wright brothers were a pair of upstarts.

I have slightly expired fixed wing licence, again 18 years now...boy time flies...see what i did with that one... Me also..never been able to under stand any body who knows the theory of flight EVER stepping into a teledaptor as the little one calls them.. Sh1t: it was before my first Big C Op...1999.. 26 bloody years..we is getting old Ren.

I actually did use my CPL (H) for a few years when I was on contract for a communications project in the Middle East but it was an addition to my main role.

Cool - I have slightly expired commercial fixed wing multi engine licence. Always regretted not making a career out of it. Tried rotary but concluded it was some kind of witchcraft.

That’ll do @Clive can co pilot it , we’ll be fine

20 years is slightly isn’t it?

slightly expired is good enough....

I have a slightly expired commercial rotary wing license, maybe we could steal one.

No I bought it new October before last.
