Normally I would say being side tracked is no excuse but OMG!!! I just love steam trains. Arguably one of the best ever engineering feats especially when you think how crude engineering was in those days.

Obviously it is a model train but what scale is it? Is it yours or a combined venture?

As Michael says very interesting.

I too look forward to seeing your samples sir.

I am getting the knowledge here on things I have only heard about. Keep it coming

This is a fantastic thread. The details are amazing and I can now see what is required. Thank You and keep it coming.

Cheers

Hi Andy,

You are an example !!!

I was only looking after the wellbeing of my neighbours and loved people around.

Maybe I have to cut it the whole length and to widen it by approx 2 cm.
Have still some glass fiber material left 😉

He comes on for periods. You pm him and I will txt him. Think the ones he got were a out £2 a pair

Ahh. They are another piece of that rocking horse sh1t. We have used ones from another bike. Think Tango has the details.

I think it is getting there.

Here in the UK the prices are rising. We started our owners club 9 years ago. It had grown slowly with few members being keen and staying the course. All the known classic models have been done to death. I mean is if you have a fully restored Z900 then so what? Every Tom Dick and Harry has one too. Twins are back in…[Read more]

You can fall out with people you know, not that I am jealous humph!!!

Try this Collets

Thank you !
Official speed is 91 km/h right now, which is about what you’ve guessed 🙂

From the wild times there is still a Malossi 110 ccm cylinder kit, a larger carb and K+N filter as well as a longer transmitted drive chain kit in my warehouse.
Carbon membranes are waiting as well and I just bought a Gianelli exhaust system. Not intended for…[Read more]

… here a link how this bike looks, feels and behaves:

First 26 sec a maschine is running in the background 🙁

Same bike, shorter video:

There’s several possibilities. To me if you can’t hide it, feature it.

I quite like the number looking different. Why not try masking it n painting it black?

B2 spares mmm. You will struggle with the grab rail. In the days everyone threw them away in favour of carriers so there is now a shortage but they do come up on eBay occasionally. I get cables from wemoto. Wouldn’t mess about with 2nd hand ones. Indicator lenses are best bought as pattern ones off eBay. Which gaskets do you need? Might be able to…[Read more]

Nice one buddy. You’ve hit the button for me with all 3. Must get on with mine again.
