@Sir Fallsalot and @YamaHead perhaps you should get in touch and tell Alan you know better Nemesis Update!! Here’s a little update from great friend of The National Motorcycle Museum and ultra talented engineer and custom bike builder, Allen Millyard on the strip down and rebuild of the legendary, Norton Nemesis. “I have been really busy filming and also getting ready for the London show so I haven’t had an opportunity to have a proper look at the v8 engine just yet. And before I make it go fast, I thought I should make it stop and turn corners! So I’ve stripped out the front end and gone through the brakes and forks replacing seals and oil. I was surprised I could get the fork seals easily online for a fiver each! And the brake seals were regular quad seals and I had some in stock left over from my mountain bike Hyperride shocks that I made a few years ago so it was good that I kept them The Nemesis has the strangest front end I’ve stripped, the wheel can’t be removed without first removing the forks from the bike as a whole assembly and removing the discs from the wheel. The reason being is that half of the front mudguard and whole brake caliper are cast as one with a fork leg. The discs are mounted radially to the rim, so if I try and pull the wheel down the discs hit the calipers and if I raise up the wheel it hits the cast mudguard! Not a great design for maintenance or quick tyre changes… The forks and wheel are back together now and refitted to the bike and I’m pleased that the front brake works nicely, I’ve also sorted the rear brake, so in the next couple of weeks I’ll be taking out the engine for a proper look." Stay tuned for more updates….COMING SOON!

Indeed, but this is the 3rd time...life after wards is more shit each time..i can not take it again. Just need to get rid of all my stuff so he does not get it.. If no takers soon i will get a skip and three strong guys to dump it all. I will have a stroke or heart attack if i stay much longer. Then the bastard will get the lot..must do another will.

When i was talking to the guy from Spain i asked why he moved here, he said for work as he could earn so much more here then at home and the work conditions were better. He also said he's lived a in few places over the years but he found Wales the best place to live so far and really enjoys living here said its a beautiful place to live, I really wish Pete was here to read this He works in a Lab making Enzymes for use in medical research for things like possible cancer cures. I think that's what he said lol
