so, i made some fillet pieces to weld onto the engine support to make it stronger.

draft of loveless engineering stickers, coming soon, various colours, their about the same size as an arai sticker, please comment me and let me know your address and i will get them in the post as soon as i receive them back from the printers, their free, it's just some blatant self promotion, no excuses, i'm just trying to get the word out there, thanks for your support.

kreidler/van veen 50cc racer, bet that twin-leader brake in the front would get your attention, looks like the little skinny forks would snap in half if you hit the brakes, that is if the front tyre didn't give way first, i would love to have this bike in my front room, chuck the telly out and just sit and look at this instead.

wayne gardner with the moriwaki kawasaki, was it really a good idea in the eighties to mount the twin front brake calipers off the front of the fork-legs rather than behind?, surely, it's better engineering practice to mount them behind?, perhaps it was to improve cooling but every time i see this configuration i just think of the bolts shearing off as you grab a handfull of front brake, check out the angle of the shock's, must have been like riding a rigid, love the skinny little swingarm, the lush four into one pipe, rg500 front mudguard and z1r tank, the photo must have been taken in england because wayne hasn't got any corks hanging on bit's of string off his hat.

this is my fridge door. cool isn't it?, the clock on the right is a ramones clock, it's what the kid's got me for christmas, it's got 1,2,3,4 on it. that's it, nothing else required.

started gunking down the motor today, got to get everything clean before i start to strip it down, top three fins off the head can go, going to cut them off with a hacksaw and clean them up with the miller, take the corners off the head and barrel, cut the crankcase down on the primary side, [cleaned it off and it's got a crack in it so nothing to lose], the oil pump can go, [pre-mix] and the kickstart assembly, loads of work to do yet.

more work on top-yoke, counterbored, drilled and tapped eight-mil, just needs wire-cutting and quick skim to finish, looks the bollocks.

it's all form filling at the moment, application for acu licence, application for ctc test, application for eye-test, application for bemsee, application for bmzrc, application for darley moor, you have to get one form filled in, send it off to somewhere else, get it signed before you can send it off to somewhere else to get it signed to send off to somewhere else and everyone wants their ten quid, twenty quid, thirty quid, forty quid, fifty quid.

football, the best game in the world, 'the beautiful game', unless you are a derby fan, dicked for the second time in a week at home, other teams fans must love coming here, a nice day out and three points, 30,000+ there again on boxing day and an inept performance, we would bleed to wear that shirt and you can't even kick the ball to each other, it's fucking easy, we are the one's in the white shirt's, you ruined my christmas you wankers.

team bike at montjuic in 1982, loved reading the exploits of the endurance racing team who dared to take the french on in their own backyard, [ok, i know montjuic isn't in france but you know what i mean]
