If anybody can do it, Ellis can.....

I've used a chap called Ellis Moore for one off gear cutting, great quality and the right price. He can copy old and worn bits and make new from the pattern of the old.

Here's another clip of Andy, taken yesterday. He's demonstrating the quick method of removing the tank and seat from my wife's Beta....

Excellent, thanks.....

This one was on ebay until recently, electric start CG125 based. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-125-Twinshock-Trials-ELECTRIC-START-CG-Special-MOT-V5-unique-OX10-area-/232118033001?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=1qpd6YR9p3aVjSUMQZsfOpZKBtQ%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

A man with a bald head and a wooden leg is invited to a Xmas fancy dress party. He doesn't know what to wear to hide his head and his wooden leg, so he writes to a fancy dress company to explain his problem. A few days later he receives a parcel with a note: “Dear Sir,Please find enclosed a Pirate's outfit. The spotted handkerchief will cover your bald head and with your wooden leg you will be just right as a Pirate.” The man is offended that the outfit emphasizes his disability, so he writes a letter of complaint.. A week passes and he receives another parcel and note “Dear Sir,Sorry about the previous parcel. Please find enclosed a monk's habit. The long robe will cover your wooden leg and with your bald head you will really look the part.” The man is really incandescent with rage now, because the company has gone from emphasizing his wooden leg to drawing attention to his bald head. So he writes a really strong letter of complaint.. A few days later he gets a very small parcel from the company with the accompanying letter: Dear Sir, Please find enclosed a tin of Golden Syrup.We suggest you pour the tin of Golden Syrup over your bald head, let it harden, then stick your wooden leg up your a*** and go as a toffee apple.”

I talked to a homeless man this morning and asked him how he ended up this way. He said, "Up until last week, I still had it all. I had plenty to eat, my clothes were washed and pressed, I had a roof over my head, I had TV and Internet, and I went to the gym, the pool, and the library. I was working on my MBA on-line. I had no bills and no debt. I even had full medical and dental coverage." I felt sorry for him, so I asked, "What happened? Drugs? Alcohol? Divorce?" "Oh no, nothing like that," he said. "No, no. I just got out of prison..."

I called an old school friend and asked what was he doing. He replied that he is working on "Aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics, aluminium and steel under a constrained environment". I was impressed...... On further inquiring I learned that he was washing dishes with hot water... under his wife's instruction....

Get yourself up here for a day with me and Andy...... his ribs should be OK by the time you're all sorted.

I know with road racing, at places like 'Paddock Bend' at Brands Hatch it's like dropping off a mountain side but when seen on film/photograph it's a gentle slope. Same goes for the Mountain at Cadwell Park. The section we set up on Sunday was almost a rock face but on film it looks like a bit of a gradient....

It's a beauty.

Why do 'films' never show the steepness of the climb??

I've added a couple more....

... has been an accomplished road racer for many years and has now taken to a bit of trialling. He's loving the classic stuff, we took a 350 OSSA and a newish Gas Gas today for a play. Here he is testing the strength of his ribs.....???

Looking good Adrian.

A woman was having an affair while her husband was at work. One day she was in bed with her boyfriend when, to her horror, she heard her husband's car pull into the driveway. "Oh My God - Hurry! Grab your clothes," she yelled to her lover. "And jump out the window. My husband's home early!" "I can't jump out the window!" came the strangled reply from beneath the sheets. "It's raining out there!" "If my husband catches us in here, he'll kill us both!" she replied. "He's got a very quick temper and a very large gun! The rain is the least of your problems!" So the boyfriend scoots out of bed, grabs his clothes and jumps out the window! As he began running down the street in the pouring rain, he quickly discovered he had run right into the middle of the town's annual marathon. He continued running along beside the others. Being naked, with his clothes tucked under his arm, he tried to "blend in" as best he could, which wasn't very good at all. After a little while, a small group of runners, who had been studying him with some curiosity, jogged closer. "Do you always run in the nude?" one asked. "Oh yes" he replied, gasping in air. "It feels so wonderfully free having the air blow over all your skin while you're running." Another runner moved alongside. "Do you always run carrying your clothes under your arm?" "Oh, yes" our friend answered breathlessly. "That way I can get dressed right at the end of the run and get in my car to go home!" Then a third runner cast his eyes a little lower and queried. "Do you always wear a condom when you run?" " Only when it's raining."

Why Some Men Have a Dog And No Wife: 1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you. 2. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name. 3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor. 4. A dog's parents never visit. 5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across. 6. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk.. 7. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing. 8. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, "If I died, would you get another dog?" 9. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away. 10. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert. 11. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just think it's interesting. And last, but not least: 12. If a dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff. To test this theory: Lock your wife and your dog in the garage for an hour. Then open it and see who's happy to see you.

Last CRMC meeting of 2016....

I bumped into an old mate today. He said, "What you up to these days?" I said, "I prepare meals for the homeless, druggies, alcoholics and down 'n' outs." He said, "So you work in a charity drop in centre?" I said, "No, I'm a chef at Wetherspoons."

A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with five young mothers and their small children. You all have obsessions, he stated. I am concerned that these individual obsessions are going to impact your children. To the first mother, Mary, he said: You are obsessed with eating. You've even named your daughter Candy. He turned to the second Mum, Ann, Your obsession is with money. It manifests itself in your children's names, Penny, Goldie and Frank. He turned to the third Mum, Joyce: Your obsession is alcohol. This too shows itself in your children's names: Brandy and Sherry. You even called the cat, Whisky He then turned to the fourth Mum June: Your obsession is with flowers. Your girls are called Rose, Daphne and Poppy. At this point, the fifth mother, Kathy quietly got up, took her little boy by the hand and whispered: Come on Dick, this guy has no idea what he's talking about. Grab Fanny and Willy, we're going.
