Early start today after a busy day emptying my air condition shed. Which unfortuantly after removing all the junk thats been collecting in ther for the last 13 years decided it would try and emulate the leaning shed of pisa :)

We managed to get her sort of upright and i will spend today strengthening her up. Just shame i cant afford another shed, but reckon I can get another few years outa this one :).

added 10foot by 8foot sheet on the side were the rain n wind hit the shed (god its getting dark in there :), and used some old dexion shelving to repair slightly smaller holes (sort of) :).

Need to get couple of reels of roofing felt today to cover the shed sides with and hopefully this will sort the sides out. Luckily the roof dont leak (at the moment) so I can leave that alone.

MMMM the floor thats gonna take some sorting as it looks like the bloody himalayers. Must strim the nettles down in the old chicken run - loads of 2x2 there that i can use to make me benches out of and at the same time fix the shed too (hopefully this will strengthen the shed up more).

got around 3 trailer loads of rubbish to go down the council tip and still way to much stuff, so as I go thru it gonna take pics of stuff I don't really want and shove it on ebay - so if ya got honda 550 & 750 fours SOHC and looking for parts email me and ill send pics over !!!!!!

very stiff from yesterday so gonna have a nice soak in a radox bath, might go for a gentle stroll today around town as i gott aput some checks into the bank.

went to collect me skoda yesterday - all the work done and anotehr MOT for another year..... went to pay and it wouldnt bloody autherise - i went home and found checks sitting on me desk - i forgot to pay them in ..............

Need to get cracking and find some free slabs n get them laid as expecting me trike back in next week or so - so looks as if rest of the years gonna be busy finding funds to get her sorted and back on the road (after 4 year absence)..........

at least it looks as if its gonna be cooler today - might just potter in me blue shed (gotta empty it out totally so i can insulate it and seciure it for lager bits of me disco).... but that looks like hard work so maybe just sit n chill out instead.... (lazy sod)

chops sat forlornly in the garden sulking as usual (when shes not riden) am thinking of selling her but just cant bring meself to clean her up and advertise her.....

Ride safe & free

Morning Matey!

On a weeks hols this week! Off for a days fishing today with some mates.
Should be interesting, bound to fall in!

Dunno what it is with me mate, Geoff, but when ever I go out with him something is bound to happen! It ma be a small thing, or even a big thing but something significant will happen! Always does!

Last year on a fishing trip, I had a baccy tin that the missus had bought me for christmas. I had it beside me on the boat, and he shouts out that he's coming up front to where I was sitting. I thought I'd better move the tin before he kicks it in the drink! So I pick it up, and bugger me! As I pick it up he clambers over and bloody kicks the tin out of me hand! PLOP! in the the bloody river it goes! If I'dve left it where it was he wouldn't have touched it!
Missus weren't none too happy about it either as it set her back about twenty quid!

So today could be interesting, as we are out on a boat today cruising up the the Broads, so if you peeps are any where up near Reedham look out for a bunch of nutters trying to stear a boat in a vaguely forward direction accompanied by a lot of swaering and cussing! It could be us!

Oh and we had a barbie last year as well, one of those disposable ones? Yup, we set the bank alight!

No idea! I just go for the occassional fishing trip with me mates! Prefer sea fishing to coarse, less skill needed! being on the river it could be anything! I just cast the hook out loaded with maggots and see what comes in! I do it just to chill out and have a few beers without being moaned at by the missus!

Morning folks!

Well I had a great day out on the Broads! didn't sink the boat! Or fall in!

Caught a Fair sized perch (for me anyway!) a real tiddler of a roach, and a bloody long slippery eel! revenge was mine! My mate hates eels, and I've never seen a bloke scramble so quick to the sharp end of a boat in me life!

i took 2 bikes for mot yesterday
the dtr125 passed as did the old ts185 second time around ;)

i had serviced it prior to going for test and was horrified to find next to no oil in the gearbox.

upon returning from the mot i found out why.
the gearboc out put shaft seal is knackered. so that to do.

none of the girder front ends have any bushes in them as they were never fitted after chroming.
so getting them turned up.

plus we are going to take patterns off a couple of them and produce a couple of pairs in raw steel with thicker legs for trike use,to guage the demand.
