Planes Bikes and Automobiles

We had 27 brand new cars between 1989 and 1996, then we kept one till 2005 my wife has had six or seven new ones since then. I have needed a workhorse since 2002 so could not use a new vehicle as it would get wrecked, so as such, I have probably got through 30 used examples since then, at official retirement age, I am going to buy my first brand car in my own right (maybe a Leccy one), no idea yet as I ain’t give it no thought

Got to try the new Windbreak out, its a great bit of kit and would withstand a Gale



Taking the new awning away weekend after next, staying a couple of extra days to make the set up procedure worth while

It wasn’t sunny when the windbreak was assembled but, I had to mallet in 18 ground pegs which made me break a sweat, so, for next time these are the order of the day


I have purchased a cordless 21V wrench which will be kept in the Moho so, in future the ground pegs can be drilled in, nowt worse than a sweaty pensioner :icon_wink:

Came back a bit early this weekend because we noticed water ingress around a window seal, now waiting for a warranty booking but, out of interest I bought one of these.


The acceptable damp level in a Moho or Caravan is 10-15%, the highest reading I have been able to get, even by the area where the water was spotted is 3% so, fortunately there are no structural issues

Got another new project, photo’s to follow :icon_wink:

Pit Bike done, no chavs here please

Next one for the treatment

Did a bit of disassembly today, the exhaust has rotted off behind the plastics, it needs serious saving.

It’s having a leak.

The bike has a few problems, incontinence is not one of them.

Making good progress :grin:

Just got the Moho back from the dealer who’s done the warranty work on the window seals, they did a cracking 9pun intended) job, the manufacturer missed the staples on the top of the seal, they have silicone sprayed all the seals which they weren’t obliged to.

The front of the scrap bike is back, now for the rear

looks fair to middleton

Cost £180.00 to buy Max, might get a Grand or so when I sell.

Waiting for the new tank fairing panel to arrive, compared to the cost of the Chinese Pit Bike parts which were cheap as chips, the parts for the Chinese Skyjet are the same as the Japs (Honda Suzuki etc), will have to make the white decals from scratch, good job they are a simple design.
The damaged panel


The perfect panel (other side)

I made the new graphics and refitted all the plastics back to the bike


I connected the new battery and checked all the electrics but, the right hand headlight wasn’t working so I had to strip them again, long and short of it, the headlamp was damaged inside, this is the old unit, I am waiting for the new one to arrive.

Goin to build another powered mountain bike, this time ain’t bothered about the wattage of the hub motor, but the battery capacity, lets try and get fifty miles out of one charge at a max speed of 20mph

Just bought one of these for cleaning the Moho etc
The podium platform not the geezer :grin:

Just gotta get me a High Viz and a Hard Hat :icon_wink:

and a pair of bovver boots
