Please find attached a vintage how to fit screws flle, pretty much common sense.

I suppose that you should be able to cruise around 40 to 50 MPH. What are the drum brakes like on these small bikes? I remember in the 1960,s on my AJS 31CSR when you were up at about 100 MPH, if you had to stop, you could only slow down about 50 MPH where the brakes faded out due to the heat, you t...

Must admit that if you are on a less intimadating ( spelling) smaller bike, people seem more likely to talk to you. Maybe some sort of hangover from the 1960.s when the newspapers paid some bikers to kick over some scooters down south, so they could get a story and encourage more people to buy cars....

There is no doubt that the coming years will be full of challenges but I think that we are used to facing challenges in our line of business. On the subject of Brexit, I was told that the EU had been forci...

We rode over to the continent for two to three months. When we ride over, most of us would normally spend only two to three days at the most in one place. What I am suggesting is that we spend weeks at the same place, this is so that we can fully explore the area, get to know the people and improve ...

If you are out in the middle of nowhere and you have to solder something, the soldering irons are usually mains driven, I wonder if those pencil blow torches would work on petrol?

A copy of an article from the deep past, offered up for historical interest only. On reading it you will see the use of blow torches and very strong/dangerous acids, which would not be used today for obvious safety reasons. We now use electrical temperature controlled soldering irons and use cored s...
