Autojumble

 Decided to go thro my spares with that sell or keep head. First up front preunit frame loop in a nice shade of purple and a bit of moulding around the headstock.   Picked this up about 18 years ago, part payment of a job I did, there is a little history with this but that comes later. Rear is an original thunderbird from a 56'
 Rear shocks from the sporty, so I suppose I have a sitting chassis
 Oil tank from a rigid BSA £5 from a northern auto jumble, you know the time when you could travel in a 20 mile radius and taken in five autojumbles, 50p to get in and the old three fifty returned loaded with bits
The history of frame..............Notts 500cc Uncle Bunts Trike Q225 AVO...any pictures?

Under braked



You can't fault this but I'd change it not for the better but just to be different, sprung seat and renthals

Miller Cycle

Typical Wednesday club session, fecking Gordie playing with a level 4 metal puzzle and welding with his hands in his pockets, well its like a bus mans holiday for him, so he just takes the piss most of the time.

R65 not my race number but the age I'll be when it gets a MOT

Ultrasonic Cleaner

and it worked and saved me a £100, now Eric the builder swears by the Amal MK2 and puts its on all his racing bikes, goldie, velo even a duke, yet the day for the shed build was saved by Dr Gear Head and his ultrasonic cleaner. There is a clear line here between new shiny and shed build. I just like jumping over the line.
