It's a great and hilarious read, anyone with an old bike appreciation, a mechanical inclination or just has a sense of humor should give it a read.

Oh and watch the video's, Jock's one heck of a "character"!

I feel a bit guilty, read way too much of it at work... He seems like such a character and writes like one too.

Made me feel guilty for not fullfilling my lifelong dream of restoring an old bike... But having said that, I dont have any mechanical ability...

What a way to waste an hour. Good read.

funny, hairy, old, hippy. "3kicks" is deffinatly a bit of a pure bred mongrel!

Mate, you've got to start somewhere. Me? i went from dicking about with the family lawn mower to buying two cars and swapping a motor across from the bingled car to the one with a straight chssis and learning the "what not to do's" from making some whopper mistakes in the process (#1 is DON'T buy a british car from the 60's!). Same can be said for when i bought my first motorbike, a 1971 model CB250 which i ended up killing the l/h piston of due to an airleak in the carb boots! But i never stopped and was determined to do it once more and do it properly, which im well on the way to doing

Mission accomplished then, i figured you'd get as much enjoyment out of it as i did.

p.s. make sure you get to watch the youtube links, they alone are worth digging through the thread for.
