Hope you get something sorted Lyn. He sounds like a right arse.

Did you notice the towbar , probably some twat who tows a trailer full of bibles .............

It really is.

Jarno at the Nurburgring in '72....

430 CR Husky....

Way to go Fred.... looks like a blast...makes me miss the fun I had on my XR's. Maybe a possible BOTM entry?...

Funnily enough I did notice that earlier but thought I would leave it in to root out a pedant

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

Point of order @Saul !! 1. it's spelt Greeves 2, That's a Francis Barnett

Had to drop of a bill to a client.....took the scenic route

Forgot to say the bike table is a big bugga able to lift the big American bikes, did have the front wheel air clamps but i chucked them..I think it can lift 750kls so OK for the arly type bikes...as said Hydraulic with air locks and i will include the compressor...

He is an arse, but it is his Mother i fell in-love with not him..He and his elder brother are complete arseOles taken the Mother for every thing.. Good job i am the age i am and not 30 or trouble would ensue I could still kick their arses if i needed to mind...it may well come to it It all started because i was standing up looking at the TV whilst giving Pat a drink ....Ca! wtf was all that about: happens every 6 weeks or so i think he takes some thing, only ever on a Sunday night after he has been to a ( Place ) coke i think, i may just have to kick his arse 76 or not: and he thinks i could not: he will learn the hard way me thinks. Will try and do pics of the workshop..is it easy to put pics on here?

Sorry to hear about this Lyn ..........

who knows

The day started with a friend (Adam) picking me up in his van, no promise of sweets but a ride was going to happen for sure LOL. He was arriving at an ungodly hour for a weekend 07.30, so i was up at at 06.00 to make sure i would curl one out before we left. Stopped for a bacon and egg rolls on route and arrived at the meeting place just after 9 full and ready to go. The two other lads we were meeting turned up a few minutes later. They were harder than us as they rode the hour and half up to meet us but they arrived freezing cold as it was -2c, the van was definitely the best choice today. Adam was leading the ride following a route i plotted the other two lads i had not met before one was from Swansea and the other i think Newport way but originally from Spain. Both on KTM 690's and Adam was on his GASGAS 701(KTM690) and me on my old XR. I ended up leading everyone to the first lane as Adam was having issues with the overly complicated way he was trying to navigate the route. After whipping through the first lane I hung around here as i noticed nobody was behind me, the ground was rather muddy and slippery and the two lads when they caught up were no longer complaining they were cold We stopped for mike to sort his handguard out which had worked loose and Adam took the opportunity to work out the bugs with his shat nav and then took the lead Done a few really mucky lanes and stopped in Erwood cafe for a coffee. We had been riding for about 2 hours but only covered 14 miles due to the sloppy ground conditions Erwood Cafe was an old railway station, the track has been taken up but the platforms are still there not much to see. After the Cafe we headed up onto the Llanbedr Hills where the trails opened out and were far less muddy, but the grass was deceivingly slippery so had to take it easy with the throttle. Look at the chemtrails, where's @zzzak when you need him LOL Further on Mike found out just how slippery the grass was when his bike flamed out and he tried to bump it on the fly ended up binning it and had to remove the loose hand guard as it was now hanging off. Look at that beauty best bike there LOL Adams Shat Nav went AWOL again and we missed this lane, he seemed a bit miffed when i said lets go back and do it especially because he got stuck there LOL Then mike decided to swap ruts and dropped the bike again. i couldn't put the stand down to help him so took a photo instead Halfway along the route we stopped at the service station at Crossgates for dinner bikes were a little dirtier than the other bikes there. After our bellies were full it was an 8 mile road ride to the next lane and our furthers point from the van. A lane called water breaks it's neck named after the waterfall on its southern end. It's a great lane with fantastic views but a hell of a lot of gates to open and close. Jose showing off again i don't think he's worn a front tyre out Adam decided he didn't want to do the next few lanes around new Radnor which i was a bit disappointed about and if i had rode the bike up instead of going in his van i would have split from the group and done them on my own. Travelling all the way up there to miss those seemed a bit stupid to me, anyhow we skipped them and moved onto Black Yatt which is pretty much the same as water breaks it's neck but with a lot of large puddles to go through. That's it for the photo's, the ride back to the van was a constant cock up of navigating with Adams overcomplicated shat Nav, he passed lane after lane and we ended up getting back to the van all on the road but it was still a good day. Now i have to go and ride the route on my own to do the lanes around New Radnor and everything else that was missed to fix my OCD issues. LOL

Have you got pictures? I will put the word out.

Anybody need a lathe, Warco WM290v and a metal band saw, and a Big bench drill never used it yet..and a 626 milling machine converted to 220v 3 ph...Ow! and the bike table..plus little compressor

No fucking way Sherlock

Yea right …

@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!

We have that same type of sign at our favorite watering hole here in Elgin....

A Hondaka....

Exactly what I was thinking.... but I thought I'd let someone else tell him.

Met up with my Fowey mates for a trip up to Kitt Hill. We worked it out that our combined age was approaching 400. Me being the youngest at 59. 2 x Triumph Tigers 1 x Triumph Bonniville 1 x Moto Guzzi V85TT 1 x Moto Guzzi V7 1 x Norton Commando 1 x Honda Hornet. The cue for Breakfast Now I like these old Jellymould CBRF Hondas. That is a really nice 18k miles example. Yamaha Y-B1 on L plates A Greaves in the hedge, its natural habitat. I likey Insert collective noun for old fuckers Old and slow L plate special from the 60/70s Dirty Harley, rumour has it that it was actually ridden in the wet Weirdness Lovely old K bike from 1984 and only 32k on the clock. Just like my old one, I had forgotten how big the bleddy thing was. Dwarfed my Hornet parked next to it. After we had breakfast and a look at the many and lovely bikes at Kitt Hill we headed across country through Callington and Launceston to the north coast. We went to try out a new cafe at Otterham Station on the A39. Very good it was to. Them we Headed down to Camelford inland to Bodmin then back to the South Coast and home to Fowey. Covered 85 miles and a great day out. Sunny but cold. The Hornet TBH was a joy to ride. I need to ride it more.

Nice one @Saul....cool collection of hardware.

Hang in there, tough times.

update, i will through in the compressor as well. Compressor just needs 15PSI to do the locks; Lyn.

Very nice looking trails when it’s in open terrain!

Who are you and what have you done with Lionel?

Or you could just raise the front end and drop the wheel down

Just been told to f---off out of the house by my parthers son:: after looking after his mother for 6 years MND so i want rid of the bike lift. One of those drybollock jobs from Germany:: cost me £1900...pickup from Holywell ( fast or it gets the flame saw ) make an offer. Lyn. PS: may also chuck in my bike tools and stuff as i no where to go..but the sniddy bastard aint getting it.

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.
