It's back in bits again, myself and my mate who has one too both had problems at Croft with the de cat blowing off from the headers, turns out it was our fault for using a piece of wood and a rubber mallet to get the de.cat pipe to fit on the headers, loosened the headers and everything else off on the exhaust side and all looks sorted now.

I hope.

He's too old to ride 1000 miles in the pissing rain. I think he said he's got a car for when it rains.

I feel the same, riding in the rain just makes me more unsociable than I already am.

The girlfriend and I are moving out into our house quite soon (Which makes me feel old as when I first posted in BB I was 15 and was asking what 50cc to get.. fool), I had a visit today to decide what I was going to do with the garden and took this picture. It is my new workshop/garage and my project AJS is in there waiting to get going again. Finally have an indoor place to store all my useless bikes smile



No pictures of the AJS sadly as the doors were locked and we didn't have the key, but I can't wait to get started! It will be used as a weekend bike and eventually for her indoors when she does her test!

Shamelessly stolen from roadkill, and yes I know its not a motorbike.

Great episode of Roadkill that. One of the best car shows on YT IMO.

If only there was a bikey equivalent.
