After much "persuasion" we finally managed to get the pistons out of the brake calipers on the part built, project Honda we bought!! 🙈 Apart from being seized solid, someone thought it would be a jolly good idea to leave them in place while having the calipers repainted! Enough to say new pistons and seals will be fitted. 🤣🤣

Our VTX1800 aka "Desert Storm" has left the building. Have to say how impressed I am with its new owner. Only a young lad, turned up on the back of his dad's Harley, after riding through some horrendous weather. He then jumped on a bleeding great 1800cc V Twin and rode it the 80 or so miles back home. Again in very high winds and pi***ng down rain! Top man. G 👍

The owner of "Crusty" the Bantam returned today, after his pilgrimage to the religious festival know as the " The Isle of Man TT week". After seeing the stunning paint job that Chris Shelley Paintwork had delivered while he was away, he couldn't resist bolting on the first bits. So Crusty got his new bum 😁😁

Just browsing through the "Analytics" you get on Facebook and got to wondering where the other 12.3% of our followers are in the world? So, purely out of interest on my behalf, if you are one of the 12.3% let me know. G

Sucess number two was after their visit to the "Carb health spa" involving a long dip in a heated vibrating tank, followed by a full body scrub down and a (compressed air) blow job 😉 Bolted them back on to the CB750F and that is now running sweetly, on all 4 pots , and with no sign of its previous incontinence👍

According to its second owner who sold my early cb750 to me and, to my shame, that itself was a couple of years back now, this is the first time since being laid up in 1991 the old boy did this today. 😁😁😁

Today walking past it I noticed a "deliberate" mistake I had made on the GT380. Anyone spot it? G

Hmmm...nice!! That wasn't much longer for this world. 🙈 Bit of a chicken or egg first senario. Normal thing is the plug, dealing with all that high voltage from the alternator, overtime gets corrosion on its pins. Resistance builds up causing heat that melts the plug, this high resistance causes the reg/rec to get all sweaty and eventually craps itself. Or the regulator side of the reg/rec fails causing a massive overcharge problem and melts the plug . In this case the charging voltage at the battery was dropping as the engine revs rose, a sure indicator that the reg/rec was duff and couldn't cope with the extra current being sent its way. So guessing the plug melted first, damaging its internals. Either way, who cares as the good news is that it only seems to of cooked the battery and not screwed with the cdi or clocks. Fingers crossed, that when the replacement reg/rec gets here and i solid wire it to get rid of the troublesome connector, get a new battery fitted and everything will be OK again 🤞

OK. It's official, I must be "touched" in the head as this is now my happy place !!🙈 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Two more projects turned up today. One is a 93 CB750F2 that some one abandoned the build, half way through making it a "Special" and after spending a fortune on it. The other is a 79 CB750F, that was imported a few years back, never UK registered and just left standing. Thought I would jump on the 79 and half hour later, it was running! All be it while peeing fuel out at the same time. Now I just have to find someone to do its carbs? 😉😉
