this is what the new capri should of looked like..

Productive few hours had in the sheds. F7 engine back together with it's very worn disc valve, clutch and slightly shorter piston pin as I couldn't get the right size. Rover head back with 4 new exhaust valves, inlets faced, all seats recut and all ground in. My valve spring compressor had a hard time when coming apart so I borrowed this only gem which had no trouble. Prob about 75 years old. I've had to make up a piece of wood which will sit on the under side of the head as the cam is held in with the same head bolts, that way I can get the valve clearances sorted. I'll measure up one cylinder, 2 valves, at a time only fitting the shims and buckets to those so I don't stress the camshaft. I'm told they can snap pretty easily.

On-Board w/ Doug Henry racing a 'Lectric 'Crosser....& winning on it. Pretty impressive knowing that his paralyzed legs & feet are strapped to the pegs ...so his cornering speeds are down from the others...but he sure makes up for it getting that beast to hook up outta the corners! Dude definitely knows how to Haul some Ass-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVL7HwD-9nw

The ultimate camping rig.... '57 GMC 4x4 Panel....

Would you be able to start it in somewhere rocky or muddy by yourself with no battery? The lithium battery on my bike died overnight from being fine to being the same as having no battery at all. The Exide shop that I went to after had their full range in stock, but told me that they'd never advise someone on a lithium battery if you go places away from home and want to be sure your bike restarts after an overnight stay or even a long enough stop for lunch

Absolutely Fred, some superb action their on roads that we know well .

I agree . Lithium batteries = good for race bikes , shit for everything else.

The Battery was dead before i got the bike out last weekend, after the charger recovered it enough to show some life i bumped it down the hill and it was good all day. Put the optimate on it when i got home and left it on. Tried the bike just now and battery is dead again even though the optimate was showing it ok, disconnected the optimate and put it back on and its in save mode again that was 5 minute ago its starting the bike again now fucking Lithium batteries are shit

I was sticking my leg out for him through some of those corners watching that LOL

Slurping down my last can of Irish Death while tonight's Spaghetti dinner digests.....another hour or so, 'Rita's w/ my Better Half are on the schedule.

Daytona '82....Spencer, Baldwin, Roberts & Lawson...

I was just watching this and thought it might be a good thread idea or maybe not. Classic rally cars on some of my favorite biking roads with little to no room for errors. Imagine watching this with the volume up and the cars are EV's

Jared Mees backin' it in....

Nice ELR Zed from AC Sanctuary...

Pretty sharp....the back end kinda reminds me of the Aussie Falcon.

There's a neat little button to push on the battery to push and it shows what the state of the charge is, it's showing full at the moment. Just checked if there is a parasitic draw on it but found the fuse gone in my multi meter don't know if its been gone for a while or i blew it today, have just ordered some more at a cost of £2.50 for one with £5 postage or £12 for five ordered the five i'm sure i can blow a few more. Got my multi meter out the van i use for work and it has a 0.43mA drain on it anything up to 50mA is acceptable so no problem there. Going to leave it disconnected for a while see if it goes dead again the bike is in a warm garage so i wouldn't be expecting any issues especially as its only just over a year old.

Buck's new DualSport...

Mt. Ranier WA....

I don't remember any veins in it as I ate it, could've been though. Place was a dump....

Slippin one past the goalie

Nice effort, but we need an horizontal picture

So many nice, smooth, trouble free roads available... why?! Hope you got a good soup at the end of that!

It looks like it, true!! Actually its a turkey wellington!

The Christmas cake was, by far, the best Ive ever made! It was injected with Apperol for 6 weeks, it paid off! @Pedro decoration was epic!! Im trying to show the locals how great british food is!!

You bike whore

They stopped fitting the kickstart to the newer bikes as Beta has a very good reputation for reliable starting but it would be nice to have one and i would get one fitted but i'm just not sure i'll keep the bike long enough to justify the cost.

Just mooch around the back of the hospital , they just chuck the hydraulic beds out when theyre done with them. Make a good bike lift

I will confess i didn't stop there for a photo i stopped because i was stuck and fucked LOL after a few minutes to get my breath i pulled the bike back a few feet and went up the left hand side as my front wheel was stuck in a gap in the rocks there.

Good, if you spin your wheel on it it tastes like barbecue.

Quite a few (Foreign) members registered and on line I see. Temu sunami soon?

Aberg rep....

I’ve not ridden a bike for a month. Just haven’t had time with relative care, not even been to work much. The good news is …. Shes booked on a flight back to the US next week

me being an off roader.... i would find a way in .

your right it does not deserve to be in the skip... the skip should be on top of it

I may be struggling this month to get a photo . I have got this one which our resident gammon will like, and NO it doesn't deserve to be in the skip

Ace ride report @Pedro!! Timing looked to be the name of that game...

Great inspiring report as always. I've put the battery charger on the bike.

Well ask Guck then!

No good ever came from a woman with a spanner, she would be better off making a sandwich for a man who might fix her bike for her.
