Simon Morgan's new outfit

[beamer]

ive got a good hood that should fit that velorex f. o. c. but it needs to be colected from stoke.

If you can blag a trailer and an economical tow car it could be done in two days, bit of a long haul but do-able and overnight accomodation is very reasonable here* (i.e. free    ) Just bring something with a boot so I can give you as many spares as possible.
You could even do an up Friday night back Saturday if you have two drivers...

*Overnight accomodation subject to booking ahead as we will be having family on and off in the near future!

Aye Smudge, and thanks for that.  My problem there is paucity of time and wanting to see the daughters and all.  Otherwise would be a great trip.

Just bought a car with a towbar - Nissan Terrano - and been using wit with a trailer.  I'll check its consumption etc.  Does about 36 mpg without a trailer.

I wish I'd got the chassis powder-coated now 

[johnr]

On which subject is anybody able to point to a reasonably priced method of getting it to West Wales ?  Other than riding it.

Richard

from where? is it not possible to transport it in stages from member to member in a sort of relay? we do it all the time in the katana club. theres bits of kats shuffling round the uk in short journeys every week. furthest weve managed so far is kent to lancs!!!

[Steffan]

There is an XBR with sidecar sitting in Scotland (near Edinburgh??) which needs to go to Lampeter in West Wales.

Let the relay begin

A brilliant idea John

"near Edinburgh?" about half way between Edinburgh and Glasgow, near Falkirk. Oh and the starter of the relay may have beer or port wine imposed on them (or at the very least a cuppa!) 

[johnr]

ok, im in lancs, and get up to carlisle once a month or so, i go down as far as liverpool and manchester/stockport. now we need to fill in the gaps in the journey. i drive a transit but the outfit doesnt fit in the back i'll bet! is it taxed and tested.?

[guest18]

Nope I'm afraid the outfit is a non-runner and neither taxed nor tested (and unfortunately I have neither the space nor the time to do anything with it).
On the plus side it is light and relatively small... (when we moved to this house I had to move a non running Hillman Imp (now gone), an 88" Landrover (which fried the trailer's winch trying to load it onto the car trailer! But which will hopefully be ready for mot in a week or so) and the outfit which was a one man job to load)

[johnr]

if its taxed and tested, i'll ride it there for you, just for the adventure! (and before you ask, yes ive ridden outfirs before)

Would that be similar to a Scots Pine ?

Is it a thumper or a tree cylinder?

Will you ride it back on the motorway or trunk roads?

Clearly we can't see the wood for the trees. We need to get to the root of the problem. Some one needs to sow the seed.
