Had mate, sold all me tools and shit. struggle to undo a screw these days, had 2 operations on both elbows to try to stop the ongoing damage to ulna nerve (funny bone) but that's only to stop any further deterioration in my hands 

What caused it Paulus ? banged my funny bone once and it took months to get feeling back in my fingers , now i struggle with numb hands and feet due to t2

Basically to many knocks to the elbow. The ulna nerve runs from the neck down your arm over your elbow (That's what causes your funny bone when you bang it) it then carries on down to your hand and controls the feeling in your little finger and the one next to it and the pinch function between thumb and index finger. I have 2 numb fingers on both hands and restricted pinch function on one hand and next to nothing on the other, The operations are only an attempt at slowing the problem down and are not a cure.

like that a lot paulus, something different very creative, looks like something that henry cole from find it, fix it , flog it, would knock up and sell for a good profit at auction, you and him  got some nice bikes and similiar ideas, all the best in your restoration projects, wish i still had some of the  bikes  that i owned in the 70s be worth a few bob now,250cc k4 honda73, gt 380cc suzuki 75. gs 750 e suzuki, and 350cc rd yamaha74, just to name a few.

I think most of it is shit to be honest, I just seen it as a way of getting rid of a load of old parts i had laying around and a free night out at the auction when they sold, Problem was i normally woke up the next morning to find that i had purchased a bigger pile of junk that i taken there in the first place.

I watched that money for nothing programme earlier this week, The one where she takes old junk that's being dumped at the tip and turns it into recycled stuff, The money she was getting for a pile of crap was unreal.
