Today i have been mostly looking at girls in their early 20's and wondering how they would go in the bedroom....
Fixed a NSU Prima engine and a Parma kitted 135 engine - more videos of girls not wearing much and then home... all in all a good day.

Today, I've mostly been making an extra bed for the camper. As the kids are getting bigger they are kicking each other through the night in the overhead cab-bunk Made a new bed out of 18mm ply and some custom cut foam for my 10 year old Fits behind the front seats Jim camera sounds a good price. I went out and got the wife a GoPro Session, plus extra mounts as she wants it mounted on the chin on her Shoei flip top similar to his guy's nerdalate.com/2016/06/09/shoei-neotec-gopro-setup/With all that and a 32gb card and it came to nearly Β£200 all-in Wind noise above 20mph is awful but I think that's common on all internal mics

mushroom,I remember when my 2 kids were that age , was amazing how quick they seemed to grow, felt like they were growing out of their clothes every couple of months, we always felt skint!πβΊ, I'm glad mine are 27 and 30 year-old and buy ME stuff!π Hope your Darlin' feels a bit more comfortable again, now she has a camera for when she's riding her motorbike πβΊ. Thanks for putting that link up, it was very interesting π. Did you get the back brake working on the Sportique? Hope all is good in your hood ππ JimβΊ

Jim, Sportique on hold again as still fighting with the old VW back brakes. Seems like there's a 2 different quality versions and most people sell the budget ones which I've had problems with. Finally got some OEM ones Friday, so this week maybe ? We've got 8 kids, eldest being 25 and youngest being 9. We only take the 3 youngest camping and we've got hand-me-downs coming out of our ears None of them buy us stuff Off to Cornwall for 4 nights end of July and then Ireland mid August for a week. Big rush on to get the priority jobs done as the missus breaks up a week before the kids do Sportique on hold until September when everyones back at school

Mushroom, have you tried veedubmachine, type 3 detectives or vw heritage? There's another company called brickwerks, but I think they do later models.

Thanks ironsloth, we live 5 mins from VW Heritage and to tell you the truth they've gone downhill ever since Big Boys Toys bought them out. I've known Dave Ward for 30 years and VW Heritage grew from him doing mail order parts from his mum and dad's garage at home. He's a lovely guy but I've had so many issues with parts over the last 5 years. I've got some OEM ones from German and Swedish. Brickwerks are for T25s and T4s

Today I have been mostly trying to persuade my missus that a set of florida bars is a better buy than a set of saucepans from John Lewis. I know one thing, the bars will last longer but I could be having cold meals for a while.

Henri, sorry to hear about your nut,you'll be fineπ. I used to train with a 27 year-old that got one removed, don't know if it was coincidence but, when he came back training, the first couple of times we sparred he kicked me in the nuts every round π΅,( no groin guard worn),so at least you can be a ball booter and anyone trying it on you,only has a 50% chance of ringing your bellπ. Hope your feeling better, soon. Jim.

Today Ive pushed my rally to the naughty corner, so it cat think about why it has a gearbox full of fuel. That left me with nothing to do but make a lot of noise hammering dents out of a smallie!

Post by henri on Jul 29, 2017 8:58:14 GMT
did you unexpectedly run out of fuel ,left it with fuel turned on ??. ive seen em fill up when needle valve goes ,crank fills up an fuel seeps past seal .otherwise its the dreaded blown seal. an your suppose to hit the naughty scooter with the hammer,or was it just a threat display to encourage the rally to behave. a sort of "if you dont straighten up an fly right,your next" deal .H

After reading the above I'd better remember turn the fuel off every time π

Post by jedihunter on Jul 29, 2017 20:16:58 GMT
I think the fuel tap doesn't shut off, can't remember when i replaced the float, but the rally has been in service for the last 20 years.(might be time for a rebuild) The threat of a hammer has worked in the past, so I wanted to try it first. Does anybody know if it is possible to put a P 200 crank/stator/flywheel into 1974 rally cases? reliable 12v lights would be ideal for the rally.
Today i almost finished de-bodging a true Vietnam GS (I've seen the paperwork). P150s motor, late P fork, P rear brake pedal cut in, and no steering tube, nothing between the top and bottom bearing races. But it does have what looks like a real GS vin cut and welded into the frame. Never again will I bother "fixing" that again!

Today I've mostly been... Helping my mate Jon, who is recovering from cancer, fettle!π΅π, shiny new stainless parts, in the forlorn hope of getting them all to fit on his LML 2t, 1 part out of 6 fitted straight on, 3 parts needed varying degrees of fettling and 2 parts will be getting sent back as scrap!π. Also, just in from the pictures, been to see the new Dunkirk movie, was fine, apart from no mention of the 51 Highland Division (51 HD ) at St Valery-en-Caux along with the Norfolk's and a company of Kensingtons, no surprise as they can't cover everything but only a couple of token Jocks that I noticed in the movie, obviously I'm biased,as I've written on here before of my favourite Uncle, who was a sergeant in the Royal Army Medical Corps and his escape from the above mentioned place.One of my most valued possessions is the Dog tags he wore at that time. Still recon, if I ever have the money (unlikely) would love to do a custom PX based on the 51HD. Further info @ : 51hd.co.uk/51hd.co.uk/history/valery_1940Ride safe. MijβΊ

sorry jedi , coz of the different flyside bearing a p200 crank wont fit i think . there might be a conversion bearing but i dont know of it .scratch that just had a look on sip an bearings inner diameters same 25mm , so difference in cranks got to be taper for flywheel .so reckon yes for swap over . a p200 stator will need base plate grinding out to fit around the larger bearing/case hole . but a t5 runs same bearing as rallys so a t5 stator an fly would work . a t5 stator wont fit with a p fly , an you'd also have to fettle or space out the flycover . have you thought of swapping centres on ya rally fly into a p series one ,could keep the rally crank then i think .H
