Glad to read that you have decided to get the bike finished.

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers. The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

I split up with my girlfriend Louise at the weekend -it was an occasional, long distance thing as she lives in Brighton & travels up & down between there & Oxford each week, so we never got to see each other & it was just slowly petering out. She messaged me to say So you got rid of your motorbike & your girlfriend in one day. I replied that actually I'd changed my mind & decided to keep the motorbike. She's not talking to me anymore Sooo young Andy is this romance back on again??? congrats if it is. stix

It's complicated! She has grown up kids, one of whom's been in & out of hospital most of his life. So she leads a hectic life, constantly running back & forth to hospitals & doesn't really have time or room in it for a relationship. We get on very well & care about each other a lot, but I don't think it's ever going to be a cosy little domestic life together. We spent a few hours together yesterday & it was lovely, but I was just driving her from home in Brighton, up to a specialist hospital in Oxford. Not really very romantic

Maybe the two of you are just what each other needs, just now. Sometimes you have to take what life offers and go with it. After all, she has a complicated life and you have a pop to build...............
Or whatever, of course!

Bought myself an early birthday pressie. I've been thinking about getting a bike lift for a while, but obviously didn't bother when I thought I was selling the bike. Mr Dslam has one in his Shed of Wondrous Things & it certainly makes working on bikes so much easier. I've got a knee injury at the moment, but I'm not getting any younger & scrabbling about on the floor's getting less & less appealing.

It weighed a ton! (About 200lbs actually). Fortunately the delivery driver was happy to take it to my lock-up garage, rather than dropping it at the house, but I don't think he was too impressed at having to reverse his lorry back out.

The ramp's too steep for the low slung chop, but fortunately I've got a length of bike trailer channel, kindly donated by Tony Oily Bike, so I can get a shallower run up onto the bench. The front wheel's held in an adjustable clamp & the bike's on it's sidestand. No facility for tie-down straps, but it seems fairly secure. Yes, there's a safety bar so it can't collapse.
