  1. Welcome. Done a bit of the Atlantic coast path myself but not been all the way round and that was a few years ago. Think of us when you're snapping pics on the next trip. Stay safe and enjoy.
  2. Well done Saul. This looks like a new copy of the Matchless G3 I've been working on.
  3. We've had roofers in our local Morrisons. Never before has the shop floor seen so much water since they arrived, they even had to shut the shop for 4 days as they couldn't keep the water out.
  4. That was unlucky, CDIs are normally pretty bullet proof. Had a bit of a breakthrough, F7 exciter and signal coils well out of spec, so off for a rewind they will go. Fingers crossed for the CDI unit as it's not very testable. Still can't get those basted jampots to bits though. I'm thinking of filling a suitable tub with diesel and lobbing it in for a month.
  5. This is after beer food isn't it.
  6. Been playing with a 1971 Kawasaki f7 again this morn. Gonna need a lot of work but I can't get a spark out of it. Be nice to hear it run before we strip out the engine as I can hear a main bearing growling away.
  7. No, you put him in the hands of "experts", although you can't help feeling responsible. You've given him a great life and doing the best you can.
  8. My day has consisted of trying to get a bloody mondeo to regain after the vaporiser packed up and the own kept going. Sorted in the end, then to get my hand down the downstairs toilet. Toilet job was more fun.
  9. Same colour as Mandis old Cmax. Who's been polishing, looks nice.
  10. Walk to Belton today to collect a car for a service and return it afterwards. Trouble is my bloody right knee is being a bitch. What's the chances of getting my GP involved.
  11. Yes. I'd have loved a walk around the outside for a look but it was fenced off. Lots of other "buildings" within the fenced off area too. And Calshot castle which always gets my attention as we ride the ferry to the Isle of Wight.
  12. So much for getting the bikes washed. She wanted to go here. Not that I complained as I wanted to go for a look myself.
  13. The times that one comes up. I blame the Chinese.
  14. yes I did, clever ain't i
  15. Been playing with an imported KE175, F7 in the USA today. Owner has paid a fair bit of money for it but I've already discovered the forks are pitted and the main crank bearings have seen better days. All the cables are seized up too. He's going to have to have a good think, he doesn't like spending money and I can see he's gonna need a bucket full to start with.
  16. Oldest granddaughters birthday party tomorrow. F1 weekend. I took a wall out between my outside toilet and shed and the bikes got covered in brick dust so hoping for some good weather Sunday to wash and dry them. That's about it.
  17. Just reminded me of a time a customer asked me to road test his Skoda Estelle. I found a bag, cut 2 eyes hole and off I went. Rest of the garage were pissing themselves, customer wasn't to impressed.
  18. Did you copy and paste that.
