Manky Monkey Motors

That's right, just been doing some work on the chop, got to get paint tomorrow for the frame and get it sprayed in the evening. Yep, hopefully it'll be a rolling chassis by the end of the week ;D

Woo hoo!! Piccies, piccies!

End of the week :D

I had such great plans for this chop, but now due to lack of funds, it's going rat chop :(

Oh well, that'll please certain people in the area ;D ;D

No more than was expected really mate! Another bucket of matt black for Mr Urban!  ;D

I wanted one of these: http://www.treestumpmse.bc.ca/ironcross5120-12.JPG

Aint they Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

U/T believe it or not, I LOVE ratbikes. The problem with putting just one nice part on a bike, is that the rest of it has to match. My car is brush-painted in Dulux Vinyl-matt emulsion.

Olive drab.

Does that wash off in the rain?

Cool!! One day, we'll have to meet up for a beer , you'll find i ain't a bad old stick;D
The chop was meant to be a nice shiny bike, mainly to show I can build nice bikes ;D But that's gone out of the window now ;D

Pencilled in my diary, UT. If you're ever in Norfolk.
Manky, you old duffer, you should know that Vinyl-silk emulsion is washable.

I am indeed a duffer.
I do DIY about as much as I do camping!  ;D
Can I join you two for that drink?

Of course you can. Both of you. Oh great Manky one, do you have my address? Maybe we could get our great one, the mighty Yoda, to join us for a gentlemanly tipple?

Yodie's just finished rebuilding JW Motorcycles' website -it's in the Links page.
Maybe we should have a convention of his website protoges -there'd be enough of us to hold our own rally!

Bugger it, need new headrace bearings.  Guess where wemoto is? Hove. And I was about 5 minutes away from it yesterday ::) ::)

Hiya U.T
I used these guys recently. Very helpful & quick service.

Cheers mate, just sent an enquiry ;D

I ordered my oil filter from Wemoto by post the other day cos I worked out it was cheaper than going to a shop to get it!

Odered it online at about 1150am one day and it arived by post 1030 next day - and the postage was only £1.

I call that service!

I use them alot for my bros parts. But i didn't realise they were in Hove, and I was in brighton yesterday ::)

What about all the hard working Posties involved in whisking it to your door then! Don't we get complimented on our service too?  :-\

Nah, you leave them without knocking ;D ;D

Daren't around here -they'd be nicked.

I always knock with a parcel even if its raining!  Unless I know the customer well and they've asked me to leave it in a certain place.  Quite often I've come home and found packets shoved halfway through the letterbox for all to see as they've walked past.  It really annoys me.  Or they've just left them on the doorstep for anyone to take.  >:(

I deliver to Brookvale, the old Victorian terraced streets of Basingstoke -Coronation Street type houses. The letter boxes are all so tiny you can't get a postcard through them, let alone a parcel.

Just ordered them off a guy on e-bay, 21.99 including p&p, cheapest i could find ;D

They arrived today, no I've got to get the old bits out ::)

it's a start ;D
