Chainsawed a load of logs with one son then we spilt them into quarters with an axe, after which we burned a few so my other son could fry bacon and sausages for our lunch. Then sat down in front of my MacBook to fight for justice, taste and decency on behalf of a number of my clients. Soon off to do battle in a similar vein with Pets at Home to seek a refund for a travel crate which my bonkers dog has destroyed in a matter of weeks. After that - more foraging for firewood to lay down for winter.
Tbf, he’s a city boy through and through (more worried about putting the axe through his Air Forces than the feet inside them) and it was a first attempt, but I gave him pretty much the same advice and he quickly got the hang of it.
well, my wife is now upstairs getting her hair in place, make-up and perfume on, and smart clothes change. 15 minutes to go and she'll be outside clapping with the neighbours
Worked this morning with the digger machine and then bagged another ride on the PS1000L (nine so far this year)....the batteries are taking a full charge now.
Planning to have them re plated to try and keep everything as original as I can. I've cleaned them all up and hopefully drop them in to the platers next week, then finish polishing up the rim and fit new bearings to the hub, coat of paint then it's rebuild time which should be interesting. Never laced and trued a wheel before.
Me too,I've two wheels to do that are galvanised spokes that have gone very rusty with time,so it's out with the old & in for new ones i guess or leave for the next owner and his wallet.
Couple of places you could try www.williswheels.co.uk www.hagon-shocks.co.uk www.central-wheel.co.uk Quite a few more if you google "motorcycle spokes"
A shit time for everyone involved when that happens. It's like a pebble in a pond and the ripples go outward more than people realise. Sorry for the news and loss chap.
