Looks good mate
-
It was my misses that pointed out it’d be a nice little detail to full restored bikes to have a builders mark. I sort of thought makes sense if the bikes moved on a few times then someone else is trying to say they’ve built the bike and you can point out your build markings.

Got my little kx dream build up to a rolling chassis stage as I only work in a small workshop/shed I know it’s not the right way to build a bike but space in here is at a premium this little bikes turning out pretty wild with all the billet,titanium and carbon parts just starting to build the tuned 144 engine for it got a bit of engine case modifications to do a bit of milling for piston clearance and port mating to the cases then a little port an polish to the cylinder then its engine build time im really looking forward to getting this bike fully built up it’s going to look insane with the g

Original manufacturer parts/main dealer parts are really expensive I’ve been down that road to mate with these pair I’m slowly putting together it’s definitely not cost effective if selling bikes on but gives a very clear sense of accomplishment saving these old bikes from ruin and giving them a new lease of life for the next generation to enjoy be it if there ever sold or just for someone to see in the flesh

Got a pair of kx frames back from power coating started building my dream build kx125/144cc this bike is going to be a serious high spec build bike what I’ve got planned for it.

All the best mooch should make some crackers them mate with that breeding

This don’t make no sense

Widow maker if I ever did see one! But like you’ve said cleverly engineered I do like some of this clever custom stuff and just looking how people have over come problems and figured stuff out to make it all work

Kind of pointless worrying about breeding yet if your bitch is that young as you don’t know really what she’s lacking yet to try compliment the breeding that you would like to take place in the future. How I look at it is you’ve just got to look at the crosses that people out there run and why you think they run them and be honest with your self. How I see it is the saluki greyhound line bred types have always had the coursing game in the bag an the bull cross line bred types have always had the hard strong gear in the bag that’s why there so popular because they do the job an the reason the t

I wouldn’t piss about with straight greyhounds to be honest if I was after breeding a dog for work out of a deerhound for working deer,hare and fox I’d go straight for a lining with a good line bred saluki bull grey doing the job.

Man that does look cool though you do a good job. I get what you mean about some stuff being unobtainable or having to be modified to fit nice. I’m having trouble trying to get a linkage knuckle part no 1306 for a kx125 2003 because the 2003 was the cross over mutant year that none of the pre or after 2003 fit this bike there seems to be no used ones or nos parts available the one on the bikes proper buggered I don’t fancy welding it an getting it machined because I think it’ll weaken the part I’m actually thinking of getting a machinist to design make me some billet items with billet pull ro

Any planned litters? Beddy/ Greyhound / Collie/ Whippet
poxon replied to jamesgavin19's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
can’t rate this cross high enough if bred right very clever tough versatile cross lethal in the right hands proper pot fillers and vermin control dogs but like you’ve said there’s variables in litters something I’ve found bitch pups that are built like dog pups turn out to be strong thick set bitches with a half decent size to them that end up useful for a bit of everything -
Really cool bikes I had a dt50mx that was a fun little bike had a top speed of about 45mph down hill but what freedom it gave me to get about was the best part

My friends are 2 of my brothers and my misses my misses is my best friend and soulmate the rest of the people I know and there’s a lot of them but they are just aquatints in my eyes I’ve learned the hard way in life that people will easily f**k you over when it suits there needs. The old saying small circles beers cold

I always liked starting young dogs pinning in nets early as possible off a slip lead it’s a fool proof way of building confidence in young dogs making them believe there the best thing since sliced bread without over taxing them progressing on to no slip then less nets layed then at about 10month I’d take them out at night to watch mine or other dogs run by about 11 month they get there first one to one little walk out to see if I could find a squatter far out by then they are already confident they know how they move they’ve had there mouths round loads of them so there not unsure of them.

Got a pair of 2003 kx 125s on build ones my original kx that I built but it’s going full send like a factory race bike it’ll be a really trick bike full of titanium,carbon,billet parts with a tuned 144 engine it’ll be next level I’m hoping to show it as well as use it on the road as it’s road registered. the other bike should be another really cool bike that im hoping to use on track I’m going to do a colour scheme of a 89 kx as it was such a cool era but on a 03 model I’ve been learning to do a bit of carbon fibre work so I’ve made custom carbon air boxes,skid plates and water pump guards for

Picked up another project bike another 2003 kx 125 to build over the winter I flat packed it down and got it in the back of a little Audi s3 hatch back lol. It amazes me how people can let these bikes get so rough an battered up there’s never no nice surprises on these sort of bikes I’m a bit unsure on weather to restore it as a oem build to try and keep the cost of build in check or do a race theme replica bike as I’ve been learning a new skill lately I’ve been learning how to do carbon fibre to make a few discontinued factory race parts that were on the pro circuit race kxs in the hay day of

Good choice I come in to running dogs with whippets not mine mind you they belong to a cousins foster parents they were country folk and loved there hunting great memories I used to stay with them all the time because I was a little shit but loved being out with there dogs great fun to watch. I’ve said I’ll not have another runner after my last ones times up my misses said she’ll have another beddy whippet I told her I’d rather a straight whippet just in case the night’s perfect for running the beam it’d be a pet first an foremost but just the bonus of getting a few runs in great little dogs
