    Boat Repairs.

    I should have clarified this boat only has to last another 5-6 yrs. Then I’ll be going to an ally boat, they really can’t be beaten when it comes to hauling the thing on and off the trailer,

    Boat Repairs.

    I was told many yrs ago if I wanted to get into boating and buying used then go for glass, easier to work on at home etc etc, theres a weight and handling trade off with aluminium boats being way lighter, requiring less horse power to do the job, less fuel on the car and boat....really glass...

    This is not the fuel tank for this bike, but im gonna make it fit, as it is it dosnt even fit but it came with the bike so I’ll perservere with it and carry on. I made a bracket for the bolt end and I can use the mounting slots at the front , it should all work, I used the very top of a seat...

    Cafe racer project.

    Well I finally started on the bike, I reversed the headlight brackets to lift the headlight a bit, this ha moved it right up and looks way better than where it was before, its only moved about 6" but the difference is huge.

    I think so too, possibly out of date, maybe they had a bad rap, and didnt sell... this tire will transform the bike yet again, the biggest problem is the profile of the car tire, you actually use quite a bit of energy trying to keep the thing straight due to slanting road profiles, you ended up...

    Spoke through chainlink syndrome

    Ambitious needed the slightest tickle in the derailure dept . I couldn’t select the very lowest gear, I need it on hills due to the large front sproket 44T. Top gear rolling was fine, strenuous but fine. So I began mucking around with everything grrrrr bad move, I was lifting the bike and...

    What have you been riding lately?
