Even I could ride it, Tony’s standard bike is much too tall for me . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they do supply a non gen lever, not sure it'll fit their repair kit though. 11.9mm bore. I’m not in work until Monday but I’ll have a look then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll contact the owner see if he wants to go for the wemoto option. The more I look the more it looks like it'll go together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time Yoshi's bike was that clean was when he bought it don't think he's washed it since lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he's an ex enduro and desert racer, older and slower now but still getting out there these newspaper articles on him made me chuckle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I've found the prob, amazing what you can see when I get my reading glasses out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I had the dog MOT'd this morning think i'm going to have to find a new place to get it done he put an advisory on it because the number plate lights were not working cheeky fucker From there i headed over the Rhigos mountain to look at one of the lanes in Merthyr, someone reported it has been washed out so wanted to see what could be done to repair it. It wasn't looking any different to the last time i was here but was definitely going to disappear this winter. Then i got thinking how heavy is that slab of concrete and picked up a lump of wood to lever it and it moved, so i cut me a longer branch with my trusty saw and set to work on it I levered it around to a better position then started levering it up a bit at a time At this stage the work was getting a bit hard but i'm a stubborn fucker and refused to be defeated With a bit more poking, prying and sweating it was up and over That was a job i wasn't planning on doing today i just got caught up in the challenge got to have been over 500KG, I will have to return to backfill it i was too fucked to do any more plus i need a shovel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
