joe got this 60 a while back (kind of special cause he was born the same year and he'd been looking for the right bike for a long time.....but it was all over the shop, not firing properly and breaking down under load, running rough and all the other stuff that drive you nuts....

i fitted an old 6v norton coil i had around...sorry...lucas not norton...and instantly it improved...so i ordered a new repro coil, new leads, points and spent some time getting the linkert dialed in...

i had my camera on the wrong settings and so all my shots came out dark....but...i kindo like them. god created some beautiful bikes.

lukies new ride....

hes been working hard on this one for a while....when is she coming down to get a workout on the dirt roads mate....?

engine sprocket...

...for mikes wl......so im making a sprocket with firstly a special offset to suit the new gearbox, secondly, one that will fit the standard wl crankshaft and thirdly will accommodate a duplex setup for the triumph gearbox.

heres part one...the original triumph crank sprocket.....and a section i machined up to fit the rear of that sprocket. im going to anneal the sprocket and then take out the inside section to allow me to fit nut home.

next im going to machine the standard wl sprocket to accept my spacer.....lengthy process ...maybe someone has done something similar and can let me know how they did it....

emperor moth.....

was wondering why this scribbly gum i planted was suffering and its cause of this guy....emperor moth caterpillar....i relocated him to a tree twenty times the size...they aint blue but the one i got on my chest is...

bk schebler

bk dropped in the other day with this in his hand......not every day some bloke just walks around the streets carrying a carb like this....

beautiful....

easily fixed bro...

so the story goes..... my oldest mate and i, jon t, watch this movie with pierce b about 20 years ago and we see this scene....the ..."maybe you shouldn't be living here scene".... and for ten years afterwards whenever someone says "maybe"......we end with a taffin impersonation.....maybe not funny to you but i shit myself laughing a thousand times....do this impersonation at the right time and its guaranteed to get some seriously weird looks....topes your just a son of an ah ah ah...
