MooN Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 a bloke on the facebutt page "Motards Bourguinons" was asking if anybody had some old bike parts, especially engine parts that needed getting rid of cos he wanted to incorporate them into a sculpture or something. I scavenged these from the bin at work for him ( I couldn't find the crankshaft from the single so I guess somebody already had that) This also gave me a destinantion for a ride. Chateau Chinon. I had the devils own job attaching the two crankshafts to the rear rack in a way that they wouldn't move over the 180 odd km of minor roads. I really didn't want to lose them "en route" and have to retrieve them from some poor buggers radiator or windscreen. Unorthodox but effective, ( story of my life ) obviously monday ( bank holiday here) was overcast and about 10 deg C wheras sunday had been a glorious spring day. but the route went something like this as I was on my own, I ws having far too much fun to stop and take pics but took a couple alongside the reservoir the route home was a little faster, about 4 hours all told, 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
