Aye Steve,

Pleased to see that you are still firing on the single cylinder.

More like a "Welsh rarebit" assemblage from the Glamorgan valleys!  ::) Shame, even the label for the engine is incorrect! :'(

Well shonky!

Good health, Bill

Oh my word.... It's going to take some finishing 🙄
To me it just doesn't  "look right" which is a shame as there are some nice parts in there.....somewhere!

Probably for the Parts its made of.  Decent forks are usually worth a bob or two as they usually go first in a smash.
Note to Self: Shiney side goes UP.

Aye Steve,

I doubt if anything is lashed, I think it is all placed!  ;)

As for the Airdrie mission, I've sent email.

Good health, Bill

as richard said, assuming the forks and engine are in good nick then it's worth a punt for them alone maybe 400 tops.

That'll be cold and drafty tonight. Good job you are in the toasty van. Low cloud up there as well.

Not quite sure why all the images focus on the front end, as the mudguard and wheel will collide with the exhaust and cylinder head when the brakes are applied! Is there a log book for this melange?

"Oddments from the Valleys, crafted for your delectation and delight!".

Nine bids and £320 so far, the motor probably worth £400 alone, if it's a runner and the forks £???, so might have been better as individual lots? We will see!

Good health, Bill

Aye Steve, assumed that the run home was made in orderly fashion and that you are feet up in front of a cushty fire.  ;)

Blowing a hooly and lashing it down up here now! The delights of Whitburn would have been even worse up on that plateau.  :(

Now the point of the post!  ::)  Said "dogs dinner" made £450-10, so we would have all missed winning, but I hope the happy punter can now make themselves a good thumper and maybe some cash from the other bits of, well extras!

Another aside, St.Peter's wanted to charge me £22-00 carriage for a 12 x 500ml case of their finest, as I apparently live in the "Scottish Highlands"!  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(  Carriers trying to emulate CCM! Barstewards!

Good health and keep troshin bor! Bill

Seems everyone is at it Bill, big bro ordered up a rather nice guitar in very early January. He was told it would be delivered within a week of order..... he’s still waiting and has now been told it will be early May when it lands... covid and brexit no doubt being the choice excuses 😡😡
