If I had a pound for all the freebies, rabbits, foreigners I have done for people I'd be rich. But that is my life, always doing a good turn makes me feel better, or it did, I get a bit peeved now when they turn up with a lump of rust and a crinkled bit of alloy and say" can you weld this together, wont take a minute"  Glad the electrics are sorted, onwards and upwards, just as the weather turns  |

He's a bit cagey about showing customers' cars -they usually like to launch them as a finished vehicle, but I'll show you my tank when it's done  |

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

Only a 16th of an inch difference, so hopefully O.K
Not heard from my brother yet, who's welding the tank.

The old lady I rent the garage from died yesterday. A real shame. She was a lovely ol' girl. On a more practical level though, that means her family will want to sell her flat so I'll have to find another garage. Just a matter of getting another from the housing association I rent my other from, but I'll have to rent a van to move everything, fit new locks etc. Hassle I could do without. I'll miss her.

Thank you. I'm considering setting fire to the bike, then I won't have to bother renting another garage. So fed up with it now. It's my day off tomorrow so I'll go & see the local housing association about renting another. They've usually got loads so it's just a matter of finding one in a decent area, then cleaning it out & white washing the walls before I move stuff in. So won't be for a week or two, but I need to have something sorted before I'm asked to vacate the present one. Spoke to my brother about the fuel tank. He's not happy about welding new threaded inserts in for the fuel taps because the only way to ensure the taps point the right way up is to use a locknut, which would leave only a couple of threads to screw it into. He thinks I ought to stick with the original smaller taps, but one of them doesn't shut off properly, leading to a leaking, flooded carb, & I can't find anything similar. I'm at the point where I might just refit them anyway & put up with the leak.  |
