Thanks mate, she wouldn't be quite so awesome without your decals Thanks Chris, the early Commando style decals do work very well. As I'm a bit slow answering this, you already know what's next Thanks Alan, yeah she has come on a bit over the past 2-ish years.. Thanks Koen, ah the dreaded acorn shooter.. Pete still talks about it every once in a while Ta muchly mate A little late posting this up, but here's a bit of WN action from Brenzett..

Here's a few of mine

I was pulled back a little, Ian. Then some strategically placed rocks in front of the off side front wheel got me on my way again.

Thanks Alan the camera has been quite busy !! Here's some more general photos...

Mines a bed for two As Koen says, it's too JCB The dirt drag racing is fun to watch, I'm going to have to stretch it by a few inches anyway to get the engine in. It does and I'm not painting the quad yellow That's more like it Paul I think maybe simply "Hold on" or even HYGLI.... "Have you got life insurance?" It hasn't taken long to tear into this project, the bodywork soon came off.. With the aid of a Nigel, a Rex and a scaffold board the V twin was soon on the bench to see how much work is ahead. Hhmmm, it looks quite a bit bigger than the original 230cc lump! So... Out come the small engine followed by a few slices to the frame. The quad now looks very "Mad Max" with the parts roughly piled in place Sorry for the blurred photo, with the wheel under the engine swapped for a small trolley I could prop the parts at more of the correct height. The bottom two tubes need to be level to line things up.. The engine will hang a bit lower than the original but not by much.. Now this is where Honda had thought ahead for me and decided it would be a good idea if their quad engine had the same splines on the gearbox as a CX500 bike engine Thank you Honda for making life easy for me A quick silly photo with one of the first WN exhausts bolted on Honda put the quad exhaust can about here, but as I have two cylinders and two of these cans it makes sense to put one each side And of course with every build comes videos.. So here's the first... Enjoy

A cautionary tale for you guy's and girl's involving stagnant pond water.. My Wife's son Adam had just started a job trial doing landscape gardening, and was told to help clear out a stagnant pond.. Despite having all the safety gear on, thick waders, eye protection, gloves etc he somehow managed to get a bit of wood stuck in he's finger right under the nail after it went through the glove.. Now Adam did what we would all do, pull the bit of wood out, wash the finger and think no more of it.. All was fine until the evening when Adam started to feel like he had a cold/flu coming on... The next day the flu symptoms were a bit worse, so like we would all do Adam just thought he had the flu, it is doing the rounds after all.. The next day the flu symptoms were even worse including a little bit of dizziness.. The next morning Adam was woken up by a shortage of breath and heart palpitations.. He also had strange lumps on he's hands and feet! So he did the right thing and went to the hospital... That was three weeks ago and he is not out yet! What he had caught from the stagnant water was Weil's disease, This infection typically only causes mild flu-like symptoms, including headaches and chills.. If caught early enough!! Unfortunately Adam's wasn't caught early enough and the Weil's disease had started to cause damage to he's spleen, liver, kidney and partially collapsed a lung! That may sound bad but it's all fixable with the right drugs.. The really bad bit is the Weil's had been eating away at two heart valves which is why Adam aged 28 (I think) had two heart valves replaced at St Thomas's hospital yesterday afternoon/evening! The op went well with no problems which was very good news, if Adam recovers well he could be home in a couple of weeks.. So, watch out for stagnant pond water guy's, it can be very nasty life threatening stuff!! Oh, Weil's disease is also available from rat pi$$!

A grand morning out at the Smith residence somewhere in Yorkshire (!), Stormin and the Showman had a good play around the fields, banks and streams... Many thanks to Mark, Ewan and Jake for their hospitality, tea and bacon rolls

well, i'll stay away from ponds even more now, unless the pond in question is a wheel horse lets hope he gets well soon

Nice photo's Paul, though you could of found a way of bring that rather nice McCormick B-450 back for me

Roof on and water tight! Now to make a start on the inside.

Funny how you can take of one bit and then end up with lots of bits.

Seconded

A big thank you to Mark and the boys for the tea and bacon rolls and letting me drive bendy, it was a real buzz. it was a very enjoyable day with good friends and banter

Last lot...

Looks brilliant Ian. A BIG improvement on the first photo.

Where's the slavering at the mouth smillie? The big question is, what next?

That looks really nice, the decals set it off a treat.

Pure freakin' awesome!
