OK the Saracen has had its last run, the new front forks should be here tomorrow, and I have risked it long enough on these.
It has now hit the 300 mile travel distance.
This sign is now on the Country Park gate, good job it only applies to E Scooters. 
Tomorrow will be a Sur ron day, or Bomber day

Ok, it was a Sur ron day, we went to the park, hardly a soul about, I like Autumn.
My Son spent Friday, and Friday night at Stratford-Upon-Avon, whilst there he spotted a Sur ron which had been wrapped in gold wrap, outside a Jewellery Shop in the Town, might pop there the weekend, and see if I can get a picture of it, and see how the Saracen does with its new forks.

Ok, the Saracen Forks are fitted, Forks were not a problem, but, the old style headstock bearings and cups were, they were shot, but, it is not difficult sourcing the bearings but things like the preload washer are. By luck, a bike shop only three miles from me (which I didnāt know existed) had a very rare hybrid set, the cups are square and except the modern one piece bearings, unfortunately a pair of original cage bearings are Ā£2.99 Ebay, the complete hybrid set was Ā£34.95, but, after phoning a few dealers, this seems to be the price for a complete headset kit, so, was Ok for this rare one. Also, the new forks have the caliper fixing points on the rear of the stanchion, the old Forks had them on the side, so a new adaptor bracket had to be sourced.

Its all about safety Pix, the extra weight and speed puts additional strain on a Mountain Bike.

Fair enough, yesā¦I can understand that.
Might want to use the pedals more though if you want to shift those extra pounds

Well it is Planes Bikes and Automobiles.
Planes tomorrow. 
Oooh, now that is a little cracker! (Not that Iām into cars at allā¦but I do like that!)
I seem to have accumulated a lot of stuff designed for getting from A to B under various circumstances, and with a certain design flair, as yet to find out why. 
I await the plane with curiosity thenā¦drones will do!
, I remember Drones, pre Drones. , think Iāve done it.
Pre drones? paper aeroplanes donāt countā¦
