  1. You just need a bigger bike. My motto: They don't put bay windows on ****houses.....
  2. That'll do nicely. And a bit of Solvol. I used to use Loy Blox in the old days.
  3. Try a wire brushing session first if the spokes aren't too badly pitted. If they clean up ok, a light covering of zinc paint brings them back to an acceptable standard.
  4. Footing? Footing? It was a dab in my day......
  5. I can tell you where not to send one......
  6. Pit, I have a friend down where you are, Pat Murphy, yes, really! He runs O'Murchu Mussels, top bloke.
  7. Because we don't use the Euro in the UK.....
  8. On the coal mining theme, anyone above a certain age will remember the Dunlop Trials boots, they were steel toe capped 'wellies' with finning on, an internal steel sole support and a good tread pattern to them. The NCB in the day supplied them to us as work wellies.... the chap in the stores at Whitwell Pit used to be amazed at how many pairs I wore out, if he'd gone to a trial in our area in the mid '70's he'd have seen quite a few pairs...... Happy days.....
  9. Pit shorts? I used to wear them for a living.....
  10. Excellent couple of pics....
  11. .... and some of mine too........
  12. Ah, Ian the corn dealer. I remember the bike well. Small world. Nige' has got three of my bikes in there at the moment....
  13. Nige' at NRP is one of my best mates. Was it Paul Rogers' old bike?
  14. Our paths may have crossed at CRMC meetings, I'm assuming the bike in the kitty litter in the picture is a K4..........
  15. Looks like a get off at Russell's....
  16. Happy days mate. Ray Pettit, there's a name from the past, top class metalworker.
  17. Build sections?? I thought they grew out of the ground.....
  18. I PM'd Andy about this and am yet to receive a reply....
  19. Looks like you'd need to make some drop plates to lower the pegs. Then ground clearance would be compromised. Mallory? Have a look at our website for dates.
  20. I'd rather see my bikes ridden than stood in a shed..... the offer stands. I'll have a look at the picture after you've done with the Ralgex.....??
  21. Excellent. Borrow mine and make sure it's the bikes and not the rider!! Offer still stands. Could you alter it to suit you by changing the height or angle of the handlebars, rather than cutting and welding?
