When the last of my dogs went in the ground, I thought my life would be over, Boy how wrong was i, The sense of freedom was overwhelming. Being able to go anywhere and do anything without having to worry about livestock back home was something i couldn't even have imagined. As others have said, Crack on with your new life. Things are constantly changing due to the issues associated with old age, I fished since i was knee high to a grasshopper. After the dogs, ferrets, hawks and that had gone i immersed myself once again in fishing. But that has now had to end due to an old neck injury causing

When i was 16 i had a Yamaha DT50 my mate had a Puch Grand Prix, It wiped the floor against the fizzers, APs and SS`s, There fetching over 4k now, Madness.

Blue and red were the most common colours.

Might do but a different part number, This one is 13144-053 and the bike is F7D 1975 USA model.

They don't fit mate, Found a front sprocket over in the states. worse condition than the one i have $46 plus shipping Lol,

sadly not may left nowadays, i know of one old boy still going, he has to be in his 80`s now, i have got a crank for a 1959 moped that i need him to make a liner for so might take a trip to see him next week.

It did cross my mind for the rear sprocket but the front is a bit more complicated.

The CD was the commuter style bike and the CB was the more sporty model.

Been working on the Kawasaki today, 1975 American import. Thought i would order new front. back sprockets and chain. Not a chance. there unobtainable Lol. i know a place that imports hundreds of bikes from the states mainly MX bikes, i will have to see if they can obtain any for me, Might have to sell a kidney to pay for them though Lol.

i hope so Lol

The bloke who had it was 84 and as i said he did the work on it (if you can call it work) I will get around to putting it right at some point this year, i already have the correct head and side panels, i will get the tank panels chromed. Exhaust will probably come from India and it will need putting back into a Honda colour probably Blue. As i said i paid the right money so there is the cash still in it to do all that, There making around £1650 ATM.

We both know how this will likely end but there is hope, The fishing comp is a shinning example of what can be achieved but i still fear that the dog owners ego`s will be far more inflated than the fishing lads ever were Lol

1977 Honda CD175 that's been pissed about with, CB175 mudguards, CB head which is daft as the CB is twin carbs and the cams are 360deg opposed where as CD is single carb with the cams 160deg opposed this is the reason the bloke had been unable to start it for 21 years, the side panels on the tank should be chrome, the side panels are off a CD360 and i have no idea what them exhaust pipes are off. I paid the right money for it though, but its around a grand in parts alone to put back to stock.

Just about finished the workshop, Just the slabs outside to relay and the outside woodwork to be treated, The inside it roughly how i want it but still needs the odd tweak.

Picked this motor and generator set up complete with stand. Looks never to have been installed, It had been chucked out of a unit that had recently been vacated (Liquidated) and re-let, I believe after a quick Google search it would have been used to power AI or a robotic production line, I may be way off the mark, No frigging idea what i am going to do with it But just couldn't leave it there, anyone want to make me an offer Lol.
