Sir Fallsalot

Admit it these are Photos by your stunt man your no Jackie Chan LOL

I wasn't talking about buying from the UK i was asking about home delivery like we have here

Surely you can order your brit stuff on line and have it delivered save you going there

Thanks Bob but you forget i have a lathe that was my attempt at being funny I managed to save the bolt and i have just ordered some ground silver steel rod to make one. It has rotted out because i think water got in through the holes that the screws for the chain slider use as their only self tappers, it was full of water when i took it off so the new one will definitely have holes in the bottom and will be filled with wax oil or something similar before fitting

I might be out on the Beta over the weekend as it's the only bike i have on the road at the moment if i do it will be muddy not sure where i'll head but that just adds to the adventure

Last night i decided to change the swing arm on the Dog as there's a few holes in it again and i'm fed up of welding it. I 've had a good swing arm kicking around for about 5 years when i took the old one off i remembered why i hadn't changed it sooner, its because one of the bolts is seized in the collar it goes through, when i discovered this years ago the bearings were good so i fitted a grease nipple in there to keep them good. I decided to bite the bullet and cut the mounting bracket off but before i done that i had a look how much a new bolt and collar is in case its some ridiculous price, but not too bad the collar is £9.48 plus vat but the bolt is discontinued Parts 11 and 16 i'm after So the job is to at least save the bolt i put a shit load of heat on it but no joy so ended up welding the collar to a steel plate so i could hold it in the vice and with a large power bar it moved and eventually came out When i'd finished last night and sat down to order the parts i needed i discovered the collar is also discontinued fuck twat fuck i now have a dead dog in my garage if only i knew someone with a lathe

No Advisories, are you sure i'm certain there is an advisory saying you are driving a shitroen Prickarsehole on there somewhere or is that always on there lol

And Honda

This is going to upset Buckster LOL

How can you have a first look in 2024 of a bike that hasn't changed in 31 years you been in a coma or something

Edit Looking closer looks like it does

Tidy would probably benefit from a bit of rubber glued to the part that goes under the swingarm

I used to do some night shifts there, sometimes had call outs to work on top of these beasties, Kone conveyors for offloading coal and grain off the ships. I have fond memories of climbing up them in the dark blowing a gale on wet oil covered checker plate flooring with handrails that were only hip high and they were never horizontal when i had to go up them, not scary at all honest lol

I think i'm getting the same way. I don't mind getting soaked from the ground up but i'm not a fan of getting soaked from the sky down anymore

Sounds like your tied down more than someone doing a 9-5. Almost everyone i know who's self employed comes and goes as they please although there are ones i know that wont turn a job down and live in work. That's the one thing i look forward to is the weekend because i know i have two days of doing what i want, same in the weekdays after 4 work stops although i do find it hard to shut off sometimes if i have a complex job on. I get depressed as fuck when i get asked to work a weekend but it don't happen too often LOL. Hope it's worth your while.

Take Six with you, word on the street is he's good at making children disappear

Cant you just work when the weather is shit and ride when its sunny, i thought that was one of the advantages of being self employed especially when you don't have to leave the house to work.

As a company we charge £50/h for an engineer £45/h for a supervisor £40/h for a electrician and £35 for a labourer but we don't do an hour we do half day minimum, we are a specialist company though and don't do house bashing. I think a one man band outfit would charge about the same as what you paid if you could find a reliable one that is

How long was he there

Look at this fucker that's the type of thing i'd end up doing https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/gallery/huge-999-response-rescue-motorcyclist-9123989?fbclid=IwAR0EZbfWv2ZuaVl0_BD8w1mYeE-70q1Q0Yk2IebPU-ogT9t9g6bZlNQjV7w

It amazes me how many people in general feel they shouldn't have to do any maintenance and it's always someone else's fault when it goes wrong because they didn't do it.

There's some good fishing in this thread at the moment i knew i would rope you in

On the beach photos are classed as cheating more than photoshop, i withdraw my entry
