About a year ago I spotted an absolutely hanging matador, no cab doors or glass being driven on trade plates through the centre of town, they weren't taking any chances as it was being accompanied by another in much better condition which I assume was going to be used for a quick tow if needed.

Decided to try this garage over the road and gave them the van to do the track rod end. An hour later and £40 it was done. Nice friendly porridge wog and had a decent bit of crack with him.

When 2 stroke performance bikes still used iron liners the hot tip after a rebore was to leave it out overnight to flash rust then hone to give a s...

I do hope that isn't one of yours, missing the tie down on the front wheel so nuns and kittens will die! Good job it's full of helium and nice and light!

How's the repossession of that Merc coming along?

Arrived in Nador after a decent ferry crossing. Rode to the hotel which is about 4 kms from the port. Riding in the dark along unlit potholed roads with no rosd markings was fun, made more so by half a dozen or so cars driving along with with no lights on. Or more likely, no working lights.
