I got that, but what's it connecting to on your leg?

Ok, i'll explain it as best I can.  I wear a silicone sleeve that fits tight over my stump, on the end is a pin which fits into a lock in the leg.  The pin is chamfered all the way down so that it can only go one way until the lock is released.

This is a photo I knicked from the web , my sleeve is grey but apart from that it's much the same.  It's a good system for me , the only downside is when it's hot my leg sweats and this can cause the sleeve to slip hence a few mishaps where it has fallen off

How the fuck did you do that, you got a quick release attached to your leg?

 

Little button on the side to release it Pedro.

Depends who's asking 

we've got one in work Fred and my boss loves making one-off parts for the race bikes.  They are such a great item to have.

And now for the alternative version................

Day off work today and pissed off. been waiting for the rear shock to be rebuilt for my XR400 for over a month only to be phoned up today to be told the place i had it rebuilt about 9 years ago have done a botch job on it and now its fucked. So i dug out the spare i bought years ago. It looks OK on the outside except the top bearing is shot and the rubber bump stop has rotted off. After discovering i don't have to use nitrogen gas to recharge it i decided to have a go at rebuilding it myself which then pissed me off even more because i've realised i have been wasting my time and money getting it done elsewhere when it's something i can do myself

Shock all in bits waiting to pick up my other shock now to try and make one good one out of the two

 

I knocked up this shock seal bullet ready for the rebuild

 

 

You got access to a lathe then Fred ?

Peterboghorror......if I did not have the Turd and had the available funds I would give him the asking price

It looks a nice bike from the photos and description

Nah, he lives in Market Deeping.

Chucking it down here, my wife complained that the grocery shopping was all wet, it didn't matter that I was soaked

@Clive, a mate of mine is selling a CB500.  He's a retired engineer so the bike will be good and it's cheap money.

Yet you haunt all the rallies.

Yes, but we hold hands at the Dragon Rally so the big boys don't pick on us

Sorry Specs but Pedro has just taken the lead in this particular exercise

Specs wins by a country mile

I used to love Bridgestone Gritty's but their tyres are so expensive now

We've decided to stay out for another night. Anchored off Llanddwyn at the moment.

Is that wiper motor out of a 1950's Morris Oxford 

I'd rather concentrate on riding and looking at the scenery

What happened Bob?

I don't know any details I'm afraid.

@Sir Fallsalot..................  Just for your info Fred.

Steve (in the foreground in this photo) is in hospital at the moment. He had a tumble on the Fosseway and broke 7 ribs and a punctured lung.  He'll never get the nickname of 'lucky'

Yes it's the same as a Peli case (but without the expense), I used to get them from Solent Plastics but this one came from ebay.
