I’ve had a weird fascination with getting a Hinckley Triple for ages. I’ve done a fair bit of research and have a rough idea of the trouble I am getting into. .

Really sorry to hear that Lyn. You have my thoughts and sympathies.

Bought a new project today. Being delivered next Wednesday

Shadow (my daughter) is 5'1" and she is coping with the lowered/cut down seat. She is on standard shocks on the lightest/lowest setting. Still on her tiptoes but she is managing. Even with the seat lowered you don't gain that much as the width of the bike does splay you legs a little. We didn't get shorter shocks in the end but they are available from ebay, may be worth a punt for you, they weren't that expensive maybe £30 or so. Sorry but that is as far as we got.

You can buy a complete single bike trailer here for around £700, not sure of the conversion to canabucks, but still much cheaper to buy a decent frame and turn it into what you want here.

I am going to convert it to a single bike trailer. Gonna clean it up, paint it, get a storage box, ramp box, tie downs, reflectors, lights and should be ready to use. With what I paid for the trailer should be all ready to use for around £250 which is not to bad.

It's a better shot than the one you put in BOTM.

Brought home a new project today

Who said they didn't like you, drama queen. People didn't like the picture, obviously because nobody voted for it. BOTM is about the picture or should be. Take better pictures and stop whinging. also try and recognise when people are pulling your leg.

It wasn't the bike that was unpopular

I would have voted for the Dildo but had to vote for Skippy instead

That was the point of what I was saying, Mash is a French brand but made in China as are all the other examples I gave as they are european brands but made in China.

Assembled there . Bit like Mash being French, some BMW's and KTM's being German and Austrian or Husqvarnas being Swedish Tis the way the world is going.

Had a close look at one of these the other day, seriously thinking about it. Lovely sounding 360 degree crank motor, lightish, plenty of torque for a 500 twin and very miserly on fuel.

Don’t worry Pedro I still support BoM

Not into vans Dear Boy.

Oh. Dear, I didn’t think you and Biblester were on the same team

Put your cock away nonce

How High does, watches and asks questions. Grace not so much but she has leaned basics like looking after her chain, tyre pressures oil and stuff. Kids in my experience are not as keen to have a go as our generations were and are. More worried about the consequences of getting it wrong. When Graces CBR failed the MoT on fork seals she panicked and didn’t want to ride home from the test. I convinced her that the bike was no different to when she rode there when she didn’t know about the problem and was fine to ride home. I told her that the tester would have told her if the bike was not safe to ride home. So she came around. My two with bikes just expect me to look after the bikes and show no interest in getting involved which does annoy me. But I can’t let the bikes go neglected. I don’t mind with Shadow so much but my boy is another matter but I won’t rant on that subject here.

That’s the point really, I enjoy playing with bike stuff, and I do like helping the kids out like my dad did with me. Nice to be more than a grumpy old git on occasion.

And my older Daughter likes her purple hair, she did ask if you were neurodiverse though. I defended you and said: ‘No he is just a twat’ . She walked off in shrieks of laughter
