Been on adventure To Lichfield, parked up an Gopro’d the journey to watch tonight, it will be an education for the Wife when she sees the near miss with a car pulling out, here is the Saracen at the Cathedral.
Just bought another Mountain Bike to convert to electric, the Saracen is 1.5KW, this one will be 2KW, the extra umph will be useful as, predominantly my son will accompanying me on it and he is 6"2in and 100kgs. We go to many large shows in the Spring/Summertime and we always had the FIL with us, so, there was no choice but to tolerate the large traffic queues. In the coming season as the FIL is no longer with us, when we go to Fairford for example, these converted pushbikes are very portable, and can fit in my MPV so, we will park maybe five miles away, stick our backpacks on and wizz in through the traffic, or, if we are feeling tight, glide to a perimeter location, and save some cash.
Here is the new basis for the 2KW motor, what a bargain if you just only wanted a Mountain Bike, its been ridden once, cost £265.00 at Halfords, paid £50.00 for it, it seems a shame to pull it about fitting the electrics.
My late OH would have got on very easily with you Spitfire, he ate & slept model planes. He made, over the years, far more that he could ever fly. He was a perfectionist & all were built properly.
His model flying club buddy sold all OH’s planes for me after he died.
My dad was a great model plane guy, he was still in the Black Watch when he made some of the bigger ones.
A shrewd purchase Minx, just got to get my Son to cough up half’s on the rest of the build. The Gopro got me thinking of 1985, and a Young Lady from Lichfield,
