My Late Lady used to say to me, spend your money on what ever you want to spend it on. You are only here once. Please forgive any crap spelling i am pi55ed. Lyn.

should have removed the bone or cooked it it less.

Great that one, i first saw it in Funchal on a smart carr...But the driver was a young girl: a very fit young Girl i may add. Was a good laugh thou.

Wales where i live was like that a few years ago, cheaper to pay the parking fine on the road and bloke the traffic into the hospital than pay the parking fine. They never told anybody but pay to veiw TV as well. so nobody had the TV on, people brought in radio's all playing differnt programs at the same time...the nurses went mental..and the doctors doing the rounds in the mornings.. So they stopped the lot...all free now in Wales. PS: get well soon Mrs Clive.

Pedro, Hydrorlic ram type puller is two way and can pull as well as push. So can push a bearing on or pull a crankcase off, But needs a frame to do the pulling. I have to limit the work i now do as i have Arthur-rite-us in my hands and fingers. So it is what i WANT to do..don't get old.

Next job for a young lad is the RM80, had a qwik look see...oil pump dead so big end and crank are in need of replacment, as is the piston and bore. So he is going for a big bore kit..so i have to make acrank case jig to split the cases first..I will get some metal in to do that next week. I have a drybolic puller/pusher so that may help..

Job i am doing now is my Honda C70 bags of power, so much so that the clutch slipped...done that now fitting the correct front forks to it. I am the second owner..bought new by my Dad in 1977..3thou odd miles. Mum rang me 12 years ago to say they had found it in the garage under a sheet..you better come and take it before your brother sells it. I was at Mums before she put the phone down.

That's it..think it will be my 4th.. great if you have foot change problems.

Same here, car, MOT plus service plus road tax..bike also needed to be insured..mega month this one..Ow! and heating oil last month too!

Same here 1c all day, said snow on the forcast but we got rain..could still snow overnight thou.

Got a gammy left leg from the big C.. so auto is king for me...Had alsorts before 1999 then not able to change gear:..I now have a Honda ( spit ) XADV750 se. no idea how to do pics but i have the white and blue model, number 24 of 50...got some pics on the phone...it's an age thing.

Same here, hadf my new toy 2 weeks before Chrissy. Not been out of the shed yet...

They also screw the Brits if you buy new bike gear. you see all the skips full of old biker kit Price for the locals is 30% of what they charge the Brits...Barstuards...

https://www.china-parts.co.uk/ I used i used these peeps when i used to fix the school lads bikes for them..scoots and bikes. Lots of carbs BLR'ed and coils some switch gear and ecu's...main faults..Engines seem ok, like all small motors they need oil cahnges at about 800miles cycles..Only ones i had that would have costalot were some of the scooters...Bin them chassis on some rot. Lyn.

PPS: plus it will also make the young Lady happy.

Been dar dun all dat...Looks ok to me, as you say a few feet away...But the lad likes it and shown you he does..Nice one Sir.

I had to buy a new battery today for my bike..Cost an arm and a leg...Honda C70 1977 A full on 6volter:::good old motobat not a lot of spare cash left now. £17.29p

trouble is Pedro, politics in the UK are just a F**king joke. snot real anymore.

I had a duff push button on some thing but can not at the Mo remember what it was, i pulled it apart and glued a bit of metal under the button, i had a tiny magnet in the try..a qwik touch and up the button popped..Had to keep the try clean thou or all sorts of crap stuck to it.. This was years ago when i could not afford a shop coffee never mind a garage fix.

I just use wooden clothes pegs on each pipe trick given me by an old guy many years ago when we used manometers to check air in the telephone cables. That was when i was a Lad.

just buy a roll of chinky tube...i did, change it each year or so. As you have a roll.

I had mine about ten years, two of the best bikes i have ever owned,, Like Pete and Ren i HAVE had a bike or three in my time.
