Coming along nicely, Richard.
I've just noticed the piston crown. I've worked on a few two strokes, but never come across a piston like that. Or with a ring at the bottom.

Just in case anyone is wondering, progress came to a halt after Christmas, due too a refurbishment of the kitchen. This meant the workshop became a storage/assembly shop. And as stuff went into the house, things came out and into the workshop.
Hopefully all will change, in the workshop at least, this weekend and I can get back to the tractor and normality.

To say the least, that company isn't much cop. Can you not hone the bore yourself, Richard, or find someone local who can?
BTW. Looked up Federal Motorcycle as I've never heard of them. Very interesting, as also CWS Federal Bicycles.
Engine if fitted horizontally not off a motorcycle though. Pity!

I think the only way you'll find out, is if you found someone who worked there.

Methinks your a glutton for punishment, Richard. I'll be keeping an eye on your progress.
-
Nice job you've made of it. The red and yellow go well together. Though I didn't know Suzuki made those engines.

Don't remember all those decals, Alan. But I do like the one of the supplier. A. Robinson who ever he is.

I propose we ban the EU. And soon before we're not even allowed to sneeze.

Hi Gareth. Those bikes fetch a lot of money these days. Not like that though I'm sorry to say. As to the chroming, try asking at a jewellers.They maybe able to put you onto someone.
The wheels could be re-built with new rims.

I have a friend who was a journalist on a local paper. He'd no time for the tabloid journalists. He said they weren't interested in the truth, just a good story.

Having recently lost Rusty, the last of my collies, I can understand how Pam and Chris feel. Thanks for letting us know Paul.

The right hand side reminds me of one of those plastic toy snakes. Nearly picked one up of the steps leading to the farm house one summer, many moons ago. As I bent down to get hold of it, I suddenly realised it was an ADDER, basking in the sun.
-
I never had one, but I had a friend who did. We did a fair few miles in it as lads.
-
Reckon there'll be a good few on the day. Early days yet.
-
Happy Birthday Scott. Hope you have a good one.

Four entries posted off today. Three Wheel Horses and the Sears/Roper.

I can't say on here what I think about the whole business. Only we voted to leave two years ago and that's what we should have done.

He should ask for his money back.

Some very in depth and intellectual questions there.

£8 per class.
Entry forms from :- Norman Elliot. 01228 675336 or mobile 07831127137.
Again a horticultural class. So don't let me be on my own.
Due to it having to be cancelled the past two years due to the wet weather, any entry fees received and paid for then, will be do for this year.

It's nearly 400 for me when I go down Seddlescombe and Biddenden. Make a week or two's holiday of it.
