The Trip Out 2015

Another excellent weekend of choppers and booze. I was really upset on the friday, because I was in a rush to set off, and the battery was dead on the XS.. and because I didn't set off until 7pm, I was definitely going to need lights!! On the plus side though, the bike did fire up and run no problem!

SO, my options where stay at home overnight and charge the battery up, or jump on the trusty Speedmaster and wail down on that. Not wanting to stay at home and mope, I quickly packed up the Triumph and got on my way.

Had a great time, and it was good to see friends old and new. I wont bore you with any more chat. Here are the pics...

New products - Cotton braided cable

Exciting news!! I took some cotton braided wire to the Kickback motorcycle show in April, and it went down well. So here you are; 16 gauge and 12 gauge cotton braided copper wire, for all your shed built motorcycles..!!

They have a copper conductor with PVC insulation. This is covered with one layer of cotton braid, so you get all the benefits of a modern wire, with the cool and sophistication of the classic.

16ga is ideal for most wiring applications, such as lighting, brake switches, horn, etc, and is available in 4 colours;

Brown with red/black fleck;

Black with white fleck;

Red with white fleck;

White with green fleck;

The meatier 12 ga wire is suitable for more hard-core applications, such as the ignition circuit, and wiring to the battery;

Available in red and black;

Any questions please dont hesitate to contact me, otherwise get your wallet out and head to the shop!

Walking backwards

One step forward, twelve back...!! So I need to find the advance timing position to set the magneto up, so first I need to find TDC, no problem, couldnt find my last piston stop so I knocked up another one quick sticks and put it in the engine. Then instead of tunrning the engine nice and slowly I used the kick lever and bang! The bloody bit of metal I welded on the end of th spark plug falls off into the cylinder.

Tried for AAAAAges to get it out to no avail, so it was a case of totally stripping the bike to take the top off the engine....



So now the bike looks like this;



Waiting for a new gasket set to arrive to I can put it all back together... fml.
