Time to let it go...

Ah, the old YPVS Mito. Go on, have a guess.

Nice. I've been admiring this one done by another Ryan Yarrow. He's done a superb job on it.

I have mixed feelings about this one. An RS250 chassis, Tyga fairings with a Honda XR650R engine, currently sitting on the bench cluttering up the workshop. It's the one lurking in all my workshop pics.

In my defence I did inexplicably break my neck and am still recovering from spinal surgery. Hence the loss of biking mojo. It should end up looking like this (photoshop)

When I get around to it...

Here you go, no excuse now......

Hope the neck mends soon, what do the Medics say about it?

Great, a virtual round tuit. Guess I will have to get around to it virtually - like with photoshop?

Follow up to surgery is next week. I think I should get the all clear and hopefully some physio.

I have a scar running down my neck like a zipper <proud>

Probably the wrong place to put this, an antique dealer my dad used to trade with came in one day, had been to a local farmer, bought a few bits and was bragging to us the farmer had all this furniture worth lets say proper monies, anyways he bought some small pieces for good monies, to get his foot in the door, told the farmer furniture wasnt any value, but would give him just a few quid to clear it.
Dealer came in a little while later in a right strop, he had gone back to the farm where farmer was stood raking up remains off bonfire, started chatting, yes he had burnt all the old furniture as it was worthless.....

That was also a road Dahl "tales of the unexpected" short story.

 

[dobbslc]

yup. It's a runner too but never got around to finishing it off. Needs a fair few small parts making up, brackets and stuff so have been furnishing the workshop in preparation.

You didn't spot the RG500 then?

I remember the RG and now you've posted it that XR when I dropped that bit of rubber mat round your gaff a while back.
What happen to your neck?

Well I could tell you the guys name and address as I still know him , but I think might get a bit of trouble through doing that!
One of his oppo s bought a victorian desk, now as most of you know these often had secret drawers, well he bought it privetly and paid fair monies. Back at his workshop gave it a thorough clean and found a hidden drawer, loads of soveriegns in it, now unlike the other fella, took advice, went to see the people he bought it from and although they had owned it for donkeys years they knew knothing about the drawer, he offered them half of the coins, they took advice and sued him!
R. Dahl or no, both are very true stories.Arther

So Screwdriver have you been back to the shed for more treasure trove? I should think what ever was spilt should have cleared by now. Arther

 

[slim_boy_fat]

.....they took advice and sued him!

I am trying. "Next week" she says. TBH I'll be surprised if the Meddings is still there despite my buying it already. Last van load was £40 (including the Meddings) and I suspect they smell a rat.

But hey, they accepted my offer when I was expecting to haggle. I will try and nab the Lister engine for a chap off here but there's not much else there that isn't more trouble than its worth.

PS. This might be the wrong thread for a job lot update!

It's a really scummy way to be rewarded for doing the decent thing.
