@Scugnizzo60 @benonwine Lardy cake, food of the gods (IMHO). 😁

@BulldogBDX @CletusAwreeetus Did something get lost in translation? 😄
The CBX is many things, but 'good looking' isn't one of them.

Redditch pigeon's current mood = sick of this shit. 😄

@JeSuisSurtoutMe I was told it's because of the increased claim values in the event of a fire. If they go up it's almost always a total loss for the building and everything in it even if it happens when someone's there.
No tackling with a fire extinguisher, out the door and knees to chest. 😄

Managed to fit in a bit of lathe time between things to get the press pin finished.

@JeSuisSurtoutMe E-Bikes, partly because I have no interest in them, and partly because if I did it trebles my insurance cost for the building and also professional indemnity.
Other than that I like the variety, including weird stuff like a Victorian pie press I did last year. 😄

Oxford's traffic filters go live August 2026. Riders pass through free — no permit, no charge. That's not the default. That's what lobbying delivers.

GS1000 LH bar switch ready to go back after a strip, ultrasonic clean, contacts buffed up and continuity/resistance testing.

Cleaning the take off bungs is a PITA, but the Devil (and the vac leaks) are in the detail.

[Rea Repairs @ReaRepairs]

Sourcing inlet stubs is almost as much of a PITA these days as fitting them with new clips and vac take offs.
Without them though trying to balance carbs is King Canute territory.

@Thorinoaken6 Nicest one I've seen in a while, and it gets used. Rather him than me keeping it clean and polished though! 😄

A rather lovely café racer in for electrical work.

[Rea Repairs @ReaRepairs]

A rather neat looking trike in for attention. The old style hot rod wheels really suit it IMHO.

Cats and dogs do get on. 😄

[Rea Repairs @ReaRepairs]

@_HelenDale The dog's only there because he lives with a cat.

A spot of fabrication this morning, I need to make up some tailored pins and guides for the press.
The first thing is to make a holder which will take a 24 mm shank as per the existing pins. Then I can turn them all to that and they can be quickly and easily swapped as required.

Mediterranean style sundried crank parts. 😎

[Rea Repairs @ReaRepairs]

@TheRealAsm1 It is. 👍

Clutch cable adjustment calls for a road test right? 😄
