What did you do in the garage yesterday?
Discussion
Renewed all 4 CV joints,
Renewed all PS hoses,
Remade PS bottle bracket,
Tried to bend rear ARB to get better action, failed ,
Raised and twisted engine on its mounts cause the y piece tail was touching the chassis,
Cut off 2 locking wheel nuts, (don't ask!),
Found cause of rattles under car, (all damper ally rose joint sleeves had wear),
Various checking and fiddling about.
Cheers Simon, another long but good day!

I was gonna bin them anyway as the car never gets left out in scummy areas and I had a feeling this may happen

Nothing to the tvr, dragged my ccm out and fired the bugger up and rode it up and down the alley at the back, really should get it back on the road.
Rigga that's awesome I've fancied a ccm for some time now... Not sure I remember this exactly right, but at the time it was I think a 640cc? Either suzuki or Rotax power... I seem to remember Gerard Butler and Angelina Jolie riding them in a Lara Croft movie.... Guy I worked with had one. Back in the day I fancied an xt500, single cylinder 500cc and so much torque... You're clearly not the pansy I thought you were ETA: just a note on bike credentials, last one (few years back now) was a ZX1000, 0-60 in 3, 0-100 in 6, 0-100-0 in 10

Had a 560 KTM
What a pig to start kick on the wrong side
That's before they came good.What a pig to start kick on the wrong side
My first Ktm was the leccy start 250 swiftly followed by a new 525 EXC that I had for 6 years. What a bike, used it for about 20K miles of trail riding, 3 stage trials and trial bike rallies. It never, ever broke down or had to be repaired, superb.
It would pull wheelies off the throttle in 3rd gear all day long, sadly missed
