Update when You think you can spray having never took Art up knowing it will end in disaster but you think I might just pull it off that's what you keep saying to yourself then you look at yours and then a photo what it is meant to look like and you think of Mr John cleese from Fawlty Towers wear covers his head and squats and jumps up and down.
Update forgot to show picture of Tank I was copying they usually Painted but trying to save cash for parts for bike as all ready had lots spray cans and thought why Not.Must of been high on Pain killers to even attempt it. As this pattern is hard the red in particular then finding gold trim Anyway the Tank has been sanded back to Primer. Might have to look into cost of proper paint and buy the Astro Tank Graphics and sweet talk Birkenhead Art Tech to do it for me and flash the Cash if all fails.
Update cleaning out the Bedroom off Motorcycle Parts as the Mrs is going Nuts with Hobby everywhere you look there is Sherpa Parts or Pursang. Quick Photo of Spare Tanks 2 Alloy 3 Plastic. Have a 199A engine cylinder head and barrel with piston and rings shoved in her side unit as wouldn't fit in the box with Engine. Am so not going to get fed if don't move it quickly before she comes up stairs
Rolling Stones. You Can't Aways Get What You Want.? I have made 4 offers to seller explaining I have shipping and the dreaded Duty to pay. Unfortunately he wants Top Dollar as they are the Old ones. So will keep looking for a proper Astro tank and seat while looking for graphics. If any body on Wirral has any FT tyres with Tread for my 21 front and 18 rear Akront and know longer using send me a Message. Trying to buy a 19 inch Borrani from states but got outbid Thanks
Pink Floyd Shine On You Crazy Diamond This is the only thing what makes me Not to Give UP on My Dream of Buying one Day. Even if got to Nail the Dam thing to Living Room if to ill as She is a Beaut
Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter So am on wrong page should be on hobby one as my Sons pointed out. Anyway look what am going to be bidding on. It is a Bultaco Pursang 125 frame with a 250cc Go Kart Engine in. The bike is identical to mine my engine is a 110 and she has a 153 in her. I will only bid so much as I would have to pay Auction fees what I dislike like a taste of Bile. The bike is on HH Classic so please bid if really want it. Thoe be warned it's missing parts and parts getting expensive to buy and they don't say if has compression or if gears select so please ask Auction before bidding. With us leaving at Xmas I am thinking there be some good bikes coming up Cheap as the Banks are putting up Overdraft charges as well. PS Only to be used on Private Land or Police will confiscate and Crush just thought I will throw that in if teens reading 🚓. As seen a few riding Up the New Chester road on a Motocross bike without plates last few days. Would hate to see Motocross Crushed so change Tyres and get Plates and Insurance and a Very good Helmet and maybe Leatt body Armour ðŸ§
Pink Floyd Comfortable Numb Live in Pompeii 2016 Update finely got a answer from HH Classic Auctions had to update my credit card details before I got reply thoe. The 153 Go Kart engine( NOT Pursang ) has compression and gears select thoe please check your self as you Never believe what strangers say. You check and you do your homework then you decide if correct. Tried to buy this I think over a year ago off HH Classic it's a Mark 12 model 220 with matching vins so sick at the time I only threw 2 bids think went for around a Grand felt even more sick than I didn't bid enough . Photo of mark 12 I tried to win and Pursang 100 with 153 engine from other side. When gets closer will bid only if not much interest in the bike as starting on the Pursang mark 4 soon as i need a clutch puller thoe as my clutch plates look stuck tight as clutch is frozen.
Lynyrd Skynyrd FreeBird Speaking to the American owner who was selling the Bultaco Astro wanted $6.500 for her. It's a model 146 with matching numbers thoe with shipping and the Duty and insurance would be more like $9000 dollars. He said he would like to buy a speedway bike from hear but same problem duty so expensive to ship. Will keep looking thoe maybe next year see what Brexit throws up on eBay or Auction sites.
Pink Floyd "Echoes" Pompeii The Pursang mark 4 250cc engine has come out ok but still need a Bench Polisher as got so much to polish. My rotation went on mine still have mops but compound is like a brick. Got them free with mops totally rubbish most likely some cleaning goo went hard and the sellers thought we will sell it as polish soap. Need to sand down frame and then Spray or paint as powder coat is to costly as need a Pursang mark 6 rear brake hub or shoes as Sherpa brake hubs to small and Frontera rear brake hub to big and wrong shoes so need that to buy and other bits.
Pink Floyd Atom Heart Mother The Mrs helped me carry Frame back in looks terrible starting to strip parts off to get clean for rebuild. Thoe have some Pursang shocks from other bike so in the shed they go and the handle bars NO good going to put Flat Track on when bought some. Bought 2 pairs of Amal clutch and brake levers so just slide on as found some cables as well. Unfortunately got no rear brake rods will have to adapt. The Pursang engines model 101 , 103, and the 680 engine by window. Finding Pursang Exhaust for 68 will be hard thoe and the mark 6 101model 175cc still looking. Suppose will have to begin I will make a coffee and throw some pain killers down neck then start unbolting everything. What fun but first i will Play B52s CAKE to do my muscle stretch exercise's in front of telly

That's bad you can not edit as your on a timer the B52s Cake is when am cooking in kitchen and it's Gorillaz Dare I exercise to. When get Old you make mistakes I always try Not to thoe. Anyway am off got parts to clean and sand.
Lynyrd Skynyrd Sweet Home Alabama Realised am using this page like a diary of build should be on Hobby site. Always liked the 2 stroke especially in 70s the Yamaha RD400 or RD250 thoe not keen on water cooled bikes won't touch them. Anyway Forks have come up OK. Looking at the Fork tree looks original but might put a Pursang tree on so can use the handle bar Square clamps with the 8 bolts and nuts.
B. B king The Thrill is Gone ( Crossroads 2010 ) (Official live Video YouTube ) Starting on cleaning the Pursang exhaust need to buy a few Exhaust spray Paint and bottles of White spirits for this and the other 2 Pursang ones. Coffee then back to work in cleaning the old paint off or should I just throw a few extra pain killers and down neck and mellow out to Floyd Joking would I do a thing like that at my age ðŸ˜
U2 Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For ( Bultaco Astro ) Found a pair of Handle bar's in shed thoe will need a Spray as a threw scratches better if wear Chrome or Black so see what comes up on eBay. Anyway back to work coffee break over.
Led Zeppelin Stairway To Heaven Looks like I might be buying my Stairway if they don't sought this mess out. Also Stock Market looks like it's hemorrhaging and sinking into the Red Abyss. Dare I hope of picking up a Bultaco Astro cheap from the States the irony of it that I might be dead while waiting weeks for delivery if found one in a few months. Exhaust looks a bit better so if can have a Few sunny dry days to sand down Frame would be good while waiting for Exhaust Springs for the Mark 6 to place exhaust on.
David Bowie Ashe's to Ashe's Picture of my 199A engine in red box have the complete engine in other box's and found some spares for it. Picture of JM 159 in green box missing top half thoe but bought it cheap years ago. Thought it might come in handy for parts as you do.
Rolling Stones Symphony For The Devil 😈 Seems Pound sterling is Woo hoo then it's Boo hoo Anyway thought you like to see my jacket what will be using if can fit body armour underneath as it's XXX size. Been washing my cotton dust masks incase wear asked to wear them but I walk everywhere as got tired getting sick from people who haven't got a clue what hygiene is on public transport. Be safe you lot
Beatles Day In The Life Been keeping this one Quiet but i think i would crash and burn on first Lap as I believe to powerful for me. Thoe saying that if stock Markets crash will borrow some cash and throw a offer in This is a Harley Davidson XR750 They wear used in 1972 and upwards on the American Flat Track as it does the speed on the corners and the straight also it's light as has a Alloy engine. This is the One everyone would like including me but I know my limitations but it's a XR750 you don't just walk away. If can not find Astro would definitely love this. It's on HH classic Auction site she's a Beaut Still cleaning the Pursang parts thoe picked up a Brake rod for £2.50 but £3 postage crazy ( Photo ) and still looking for more cheap Pursang bikes to buy. Wish I could trade everything for a Astro. Just to have to build a Bultaco Frankenstein Flat Track instead till find one. Stay safe and look after the Old please check they have food and medical supplies they must be scared watching News 😷
picked up a Brake rod for £2.50 but £3 postage crazy
I hate that happening, even if the total price is still reasonable. We've imported stuff from the States sometimes with customs and postage costing three or four times the cost of the item, so annoying.
Conversely I've driven 50 miles away for a cheap part which probably cost far more in fuel than posting it.
There's a suspension mount that is made in Europe but it is for an old American car (albeit a European manufacturer), nobody stocks it or can order it in this country. Its about £12 in the states but it is close-enough replacement for a different part that costs £80 in this country. While it saves us some money, the idea of forking out £40-£50 for a £12 item that is made in Europe leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Hi the first time i bought from states it was Bultaco Pursang Exhaust had shipping so thought thats fine. Then got a text from H.M Duty & Excise saying Charging me handling fees then got duty charge on top. If we do a deal with states and duty scrapped thats great but Not if in the long haul we are worst off as we need to think whats Best for our grandkids NOT us
CCR Fortunate Son I was given a Shield letter and thought O Crap am so Dead as have been finding Breathing harder as weeks pass. Anyway went into what's the point of doing anything but was so bored with that so sanded frame and sprayed it. Have put forks on and that's it until I can do exercise so doing a little bit each day if can but chest hurts but it's a hobby to keep mind active and body that was the whole point of it in first place. Anyway stay safe and do take care
The Pursang Mark 4 boat seat has a ghastly cut down middle a chip out of back and paint is flaking off and cracking on top. The Tank I ruined head down with embarrassment as I believe I could actually paint with different colours ( Page 2 ) So what did I do i sanded down and sprayed silver as had a few cans. Unfortunately something happened to paint or mixed with the other dry paint and all turned sticky and tacky and never went hard. Had No choice but to sit in Garden with a knife and peel it like a potato nearly got it to original red now. So when finished will show picture as to embarrassing at moment. I don't mind telling people about how i messed up but it's correcting your mistake what is important don't leave the mess for other people to take care off. Anyway take care and keep yourself safe.

Rolling Stones. PAINT IT BLACK Morning Going to store the Pursang Mark 4 until I can find a original Air Box and side Panels to buy for it. Got the spray goo of tank just badge spaces left so sandpaper yet again. Decided Not Spraying NO more NOT going through this again. So much work deflated back tyre as got 2 broken spokes also tyre has gone hard. Will need to take to garage has hands have swollen again and also no way got the strength to remove tyre unless had a chainsaw ( Joke) Anyway will need to find a Astro seat for it NO way touching that seat base to much work also haven't got a seat for the boat base anyway. I bidded on the Pursang twice at HH classic but the price to far I think went around £1500 and with there fee's on top decided am Out. The Mrs wants the 3 Sherpa bikes gone now so been given my orders as they have sat and sat and she wants house decorated. Sold the Suzuki LT80 so she has hall back now wants dining room back she has been patient with my hobby so that's fine. Take Care of Yourselves
Hazel O'Connor. Will You Morning the News constantly Doom and Gloom wear all going to be poor and broke so I thinking maybe I can pick up a bike cheap. Unfortunately Not the case when looking on eBay as still very expensive. Been looking at the big 2 stroke Road bikes Yamaha RD and Kawasaki KH or H1 or a Suzuki see if I can pick one up for Cash with a V5 with same Vins on document. The Pursang's still need parts and won't just pay whatever as am in NO rush to build with lockdown. The 3 Bultaco Sherpa's and spare tanks with all the box's of parts maybe I could do a trade for a Road 2 Stroke what they don't use anymore. Thoe most likely will put them up on eBay as single bike's as nobody will want to trade as with all the Fear being generated it's Cash,Cash Cash they're Want. Anyway take care of Yourselves and see if can find my Astro/Pursang/Yamaha/Kawasaki ? ðŸ˜
Pink Floyd Wish You Wear Hear Bought a Pursang Silencer for the Model 100 but still haven't found the correct exhaust so it's useless till I find it but its a slow project a bit hear and there. Been searching house for Sherpa Parts and came across the spare Pursang Piston. Bought it as spare for the 175 model 101 incase I blew the piston racing it. I put the 3 Bultaco Sherpa up on eBay for a Trade put just got Cash offers so took them down as just wanted to trade as don't like selling usually just donate my stuff. Take care of yourselves
AC/DC Shot Down In Flames Hi Just got a Message from HH Classic informing me that Bultaco bikes are on there Auction Site. Seems sale didn't go through as there is the Pursang I bid on. Did tell them to tell buyer's that it was a Go Kart Engine Not Pursang but they never updated add. Anyway would like to know was it that reason or is there something wrong with engine. Will phone and ask as would like a chance to Bid again Thoe thinking with Government Stopping the Wages in October and Brexit will better Bikes be coming on the Market. Decision's Decision's I miss the 70s sooo much.
Led Zeppelin. When The Levee Breaks. Bought some Steering lock stop's so can screw Mudguard on. Unfortunately someone put a different screw in and is badly wedged in none of my allen keys fit so borrowed some. One came close but none fitted seems might need a different key to remove it. Might push Pursang to my local garage they might have the tool to remove it for me if I can Not do so.
Fleetwood Mac The Chain Took break shoes out the Pursang Mark 4 for mark 6 so have a rear brake now thoe tried to stay away from taking one to fix other for a long time. The mark 4 engine put back in dining room as the shed in not water proof as age is rotting the metal also covered bikes with plastic sheeting and box's. Need to change Tyres to Flat Track also need seat cover and foam as mine rotten still need a lot to do. I am hoping they might do the Telford Show next year as still wish to try and find a Astro seat and maybe a Alpina Speedo with fittings. Still need parts a Drive chain and New spark plug then check electric's. Bought some Stickers years ago to put on bike when built but with people ripping down statues maybe will be frowned upon by the time it's actually running.
Pink Floyd. Welcome To The Machine Decided to Spray side Panels to match tank so went and got Ford Sunburst Red from Halfords. The Price is insane £7.50 for a 300ml can they had some reduced to £3 thoe not my colour. Need to find some Yellow circle decals for side panel's thoe look very thin paper type so still looking for thicker ones. Changing rear Sprocket and putting on the Mark 4 one then need to go down town to buy liquid to seal inside tank for crap fuel and need spark plugs as well. Also need to take engine out and sought out clutch problem then still trying to find the correct air box cage with springs also believe air hose is off a Frontera. Finger's cross for a Telford show and me dragging a few Suitcase's of parts back home.
Marianne Faithful Why'd Ya Do It ? I looked at the Tank and thought it's ruined so thought I would try once more. Why I try to do something which Is beyond me I haven't a clue. You would think so easy to spray it's so NOT. Had runs then sand then use Spirits then spray then sand then Spirits building up layers ect and still manage to screw that up. Haven't touched bike only to spray side panel's looking for Yellow circular to put on panels thoe look thin so still looking. Rear brake rod to small thoe thinking if put it on a large spring should work . Really need Telford Show to help me for parts.
Marianne Faithful Guilt. Two pictures you can see run's when took tape off so sand paper again. The black marks thought I could cheat and spray over. Nah doesn't work so all the black marks need sanding out before I put white on sides. The black is fine for top thoe I can see me seriously squatting and jumping up and down as I know will make a ----- of if anything with paint I have runs. Even turned tank on side to spray little puffs I get run's. Been trying to bid what look similar to Flat Track tyres thoe haven't won anything yet they keep bidding last second and I won't play that game it's like gambling and so against it don't like it at all. Anyway pictures of tank
Pink Floyd. One Of My Turns Found a Tyre tried to remove Motocross Tyre unfortunately hand's haven't got the strength so will take to Tyre Garage down New Chester Road. The Tank was a Failure I tried Thoe. Should of asked A Graffiti Artist and paid him or her. Built up layers of white and wear I believed it to be dry it wasn't unfortunately sprayed and turned to mush. Back out with potato peeler I need a Holiday before I go Insane of being stuck in.
Blue Oyster Don't Fear The Reaper Thank You to the NHS for keeping me after stomach decided to do me in. Tried to buy a Pursang but it fell through thoe bought a Tank cheap months ago incase I needed one but never spraying again just haven't got the skill. When we all get Vaccine's am hoping the bike show's will come back so can buy part's as just want to get the mark 6 running before I get too ill. Thoe I picked a difficult hobby with finding parts I do love the sound of the Pursang
So nice to have you back . I didn't know you had been ill, hope it doesn't stop you working on your bikes. It's good to have a hobby to come back to. I even started looking up all these bikes you were working on. my father took part in 24 hour trials on a Velocette many years ago and won a lot of medals and awards. Then he went into Hillclimbs in a car. He was a founder member of the Wallasey Motor Club. Anyway, I'm sure we all wish you to get back to good health and keep us informed about your bikes progress.
Thank You 10 min's after posting I had a Mini Stroke so back in Arrow Park again. Impossible to sleep in hear with people coughing in bed's but nurse's assured me it's safe as wanted to sit in a TV lounge till morning but there isn't any and with these drips things in arm am stuck hear. Bikes are a slow project just need correct parts so hoping bike show's might start when we all been Vaccinated
Thank You for Comment Again Thank You To NHS Home Now that was scary brain wouldn't let me speak or to walk to be honest never been so frightened. On blood thinners now and some other one need a bigger daily pill box.
Kid Rock "All Summer Long" Morning Bought some Side Oval graphics looked at Bultaco and wanted a extra £4 for the thumps up Logo then looked at plain one thoe same size. I thought Not paying extra just for a tiny Logo so went for plain. Do look big but need to buy Numbers for the Oval thoe I need the Motorcycle shops open as need a chain and Air filter foam and spring's and seat cover with foam the list goes on. The price of the Pursang now is insane only over a year ago could buy a Mark 6 350 for £2000 now there £3500 with a lick of paint and a buffer. ( Picture of a Pursang with large Oval )
Morning. Would like to have this unfortunately with shipping and duty would be to expensive. Ask seller if had a seat for spare seat base but be said "Would look". With No reply seems didn't have one. Would of put the 103 Pursang engine in it till got better. Just have to keep looking for one.
U2 Still Haven't Found What Am Looking For "Astro" Decided to put the 3 Sherpa's on Gumtree for a Trade for a Pursang. I believe got more chance winning the Lottery than finding someone to trade with. The American Seller with Astro has dropped his price so believe it's £1970 now. Pity it's Not in UK would buy it straight away. It's always the same to for away to buy or different country.
Morning Have been looking at a Yamaha TT500 which was put on HH Classic Auction was Valued at £2500 to £3500. So the Auction was yesterday and thought Why Not as always ridden 2 Strokes. Anyway being a cheap skate I threw some in the middle range then one for £3500. The price it Sold was £3910 with Auction fees so must of been close. The Thumper looked Nice with V5 and spare's. My back went a few week's ago and not healing so maybe a good thing that I didn't win Nah I Wanted It. Picture of TT500
Morning. Was Sulking that i didn't bid enough for the TT500 I am so Crap at bidding as to scared to do live incase i pay well over the Guide price. I have decided to Sell my Sherpa Bike's on EBay really didn't want to Sell just trade. I knew the Chance's where Very Slim on a trade just don't like selling rather just give them away so don't have to deal with the stress. Been slowly dumping contents of house as still looking at buying a house and can NOT take Sherpa Bike's as Mrs said "You can take 2 Bike's". So of course keeping the mark 5 and 6 and Pursang engine's but I want another Pursang so have some hobby as boredom can effect your Mental Health. Haven't done any work with Bike's Arthritis is hurting my back and just about have the energy to drag my backside down stair's but will when better I hope ?. Picture of 250cc Model 198 just slotted together what I had missing this and that but majority there. Seen worse and put a low price on it what am willing to accept all detail's on EBay with Pictures. Enjoy the Sun thoe be careful if sweating Profusely drink lots of fluid and Fan.
Cream "White Room". Hi just incase anyone interested I am Selling. Bultaco Sherpa 350cc Model 199A. The Engine has Vin thoe the internal part's are in a few tins kept in 1 box. There is a Sherpa 350cc Bottom Engine Model 159 with Vin. The Frame has NO Vin and is missing this and that but Majority is there. Bought some part's but Lost Interest after a big Stoke in 2017 and wanted to just concentrate on the Pursang. Have more parts like cylinder head /Barrel with Piston and rings and lot more in box's including 2 Tank's one Alloy and one Plastic with New Blue Side Panel's. Will putting more pictures of 199A when List on EBay in just under a Week. Regards.
Led Zeppelin Ramble On. Morning. My Sherpa 198 Model didn't Sell on EBay for £900 thoe seen worst go for a lot more. I believe it was because of screw case broken off from main case. Thoe lot's brake off because of chain snapping and whipping back when not maintained or used as field bike's. So dilemma what am I going to do thinking off scavenging the best part's from both bikes and build one then put the Light's on what I Forgot. So didn't want to start striping Sherpa's want to finish the Pursang. Keeping looking for a Mark 5 or 6 Pursang Exhaust what takes my Silencer then put the 175 mark 6 engine in the frame. Anyway took some pictures of my light's the Sherpa light look's Good also Ossa and Montesa light are OK as well but lightbulb's might need replacing as never tested them. Picked up a Manuel on wiring the light's missing a bit for rear brake. Have wiring off a Montesa what I collected a few year's ago. Will have a go tomorrow stripping bike's then rebuilding properly if back is OK. The bike's wear mainly thrown together to see what part's missing as had the Sherpa 199A in bit's as well.
AC/DC Thunderstruck. Good Afternoon. I managed to find my Ignition cable's so placed them on bike's with front light. Was going to take the best part's of both and build one good one. Unfortunately started waking up with blood in mouth again thought it had healed year's ago so just waiting for X-rays result. Anyway i sprayed Mudguard's white thoe look Pinkish as I should of used a white primer over the Old red primer. I hate Spraying everything looks Crap or turns to mush from bad paint mixing. Only bought Sherpa's as thought my youngest would work on bike's with his mate's but he told me to keep the Grandad bikes and go out and buy him a New Motocross bike. So explained wear he can go with a few chosen words. So mainly sat for year's buying this and that for them. Have placed Sherpa's on Gumtree with lot's of picture's if don't sell will have to work on them shouldn't be much to get them going. Take Care and Smile.
Green River CCR. Morning. I Sold the 2 Sherpa 198 and the Lad is interested in my other bikes as need to scale down so concentrate on Pusang's. Hopefully will get back my cash what bought them for since the price of Two Stroke have gone stupid. Wish i bought Honda CR500 now with the price they have gone up by. Thoe the Pursang is there if you got a very good rider on it at course. Got to empty shed this morning not looking forward to it. One time got a throat infection emptying it put me in hospital for nearly a week so wear gloves and dusk mask and shower straight after now. Got to take pictures of everything and price them but it gives me a chance to sort junk out for recycling. Pictures of Alloy tank's what will sell with 199A. One has strengthening fuel plate what was rattling around in tank managed to crab it with pinchers but stuck let New owner pull it out don't want to hurt my hand's. Will put pictures up when collected everything from house and shed and put in garden. Would put lots of pictures up unfortunately limited to 2 pictures the website could do with allowing us more data to put 12 pictures up if so choose.? Anyway Have Good day and Smile life is a Adventure
Hi thanks got some tank sticker's but not very good there just black. It was nice weather today so had a good sort out for correct parts for each bike. Would of kept them but getting tired a lot so let some youth try. Getting rid of the 199A and Pursang mark 4 and 5. Just concentrating on the mark 6 but keeping the 101 and 103 Mark 6 engine. The Wheels are all there except missing rear for mark 5 and lot other parts for it...
Supertramp The Logical Song. Morning. I forgot to mention have listed pictures of bikes on Gumtree. The bikes looking at them I do believe will take a loss as there not complete and with prices going up and parts getting expensive not many will want them. If lad doesn't take them I might try EBay as last resort and put all 3 of them up then single bikes if No interest in bulk buy. Don't sell will throw them together and use as Garden Ornament's but Mrs would hire a skip before that happened. Take Care
Boston More Than A Feeling. Morning. Deleted Gumtree as lad agreed a price to buy the 3 other Project's of mine. Noticed there was a Pursang Mark 6 350 on EBay so phoned dealer on the condition of engine. It has low compression and kick start needs to be put back into position after kick. So needs a rebore and new piston with rings plus foam and seat cover. Also needs a return spring plus won't start. It says Matching Vin's but haven't seen them should of Asked if they wear untampered with as seen so many been altered so look like there matching. Original Dealer's used to swap engine's so they wear Not matching so they didn't have to pay a Charge but forgot what it was. Anyway I placed a few high bids but will only go so far as still looking for a Bultaco Astro... Picture of Mark 6 350. Enjoy Sun.
Pink Floyd MONEY. Morning. I won the Bike got it a lot cheaper than the buy it Now price but it need`s a lot of work but have spare`s am hoping my youngest might like it as a Gift when see`s what i bought thoe doubt it. I just need to pay for it am hoping i can pay with Cash with the Money from the 2 Sherpa Projects ?
CCR Heard It Through The Grapvine. Morning. The Mark 6 has quite a bit of work to do so first thing off to Dentist to pull a bad tooth Out soon. With parts upstairs and butchering the other Mark 6 of correct part's should look OK. I asked My youngest Son"Would He Like It To Work On" Unfortunately he thinks there small bike's and Rubbish. So when finished I bet he will change his mind just doesn't want to do the work Lazy ....... Am In No rush as Now I need 2 seat Foam's and cover's plus other bits. The Engine will need stripping so can put Cylinder in Shop for Rebore and new piston ect ect. I now sold off my other 3 projects and Now Shed Empty and all Tanks gone. I believe the Trafford show should be on next year and get my seats and other stuff I hope ?. Picture of Mark 6 what i will be stripping to Frame. So much wrong on it anyway better get ready to walk to dentist that takes a hour but need the exercise. Have a Good Day as I Won't in that Chair.
Gorillaz DARE. Morning. I started taking bike to bits to keep mind of tooth as didn't get it pulled gave me Antibiotics as was a emergency appointment thoe tooth is unamendable. When took side panel off was wondering if Air Cage was inside and was. The side Panel's look to be Original so Not touching them. Am glad kept a lot of part's of the fork tree as using them to replace the parts on bike. The bolts what wear used for front mudguard are gone but still have the pair of New steering Bolt's what i will use. I need a pair of fork Boots as the one's on are disintegrating but one thing i didn't keep. The Carburetor cable has snapped of inside and believe engine will need a full over haul but have some spare's. The Mistake I made was to inquire about Vin's "Wear They Untampered With". I check both and they wear fine first thing I done when looked at bike. So if buying a bike Check Vin's I forgot as memory is not what it was after stroke. Take Care
David Bowie Ziggy Stardust Live 1972. Morning. I should get it stripped to so can Sand Frame then Paint it before Weather gets wet and Cold.. Using Metal Hammer Paint thoe haven't checked paint. Bought a bag of tin's for 10p a Tin so might be out of date used them to paint shed so didn't rust. Will have to go to Halfords see what paint there is The Handle bar's look to be Frontera and mudguard's are Preston Petty both of them. The Mudguard's are heavy and have the Logo stamped on them both thoe seem to be in good condition. Unfortunately I hate Plastic rather have Fiberglass. Took exhaust off but never really looked at it as wanted to get rear wheel off. Unfortunately the spokes are rusted and chrome is flaking off the rear wheel. I also believe the drum brake's are gone as brake is frozen. I will Finish my coffee and will have a go taking the engine out so can put it in a box to clean as underneath is clogged with crap after its clean from muck will have to find a Shop on the Wirral to get it repaired. I have 2 pack's of Pursang Gasket's which will save me some money but with New Piston and rebore and the other bits going to be hundred's then labour costs on top. My hands shake to much as should wear wrist support straps but they feel uncomfortable. When there finished will keep them as it's just a hobby thoe still want to build a Flat Track but will see if can find my Astro First. Take Care.
Led Zeppelin Kashmir. Morning. The Brake Shoe's on Rear don't seem to be that worn down will ask my lad to get spring off after spraying WD-40 on Rust if he decides to drag himself out of bed. The Front brake hub when i lifted it out of the wheel the pad fell of shoe. So needs gluing back on or replacing but they don't seem worn down either. The Bultaco nut's and bolt's are worn down but some OK. I need a bag of nut,s/Bolt's/Washer's to replace the bad one's. I had a look at exhaust and just a small weld by bracket can Not see any holes or major rust. I do need a Carburetor cable I can not find any spare's. The Amal Carburetor on bike says L 1036 on side i have a Bing Carburetor 84 underneath is 26 also another Amal L 1036 with a Amal L 2627 (401). I was going to buy a Mikuni Carb but never got round to it as read that that Mikuni is better for fuel flow. The Tank has sticker's so will need pulling off I do have some original Tank Badge's unfortunately there Red wrong model. Will have to buy sealer for tank and replace a fuel tap but most likely more wrong with it haven't really looked as just stripping bike first. Today spending time with Grandchildren haven't really seen them for a very long time so looking forward to seeing them. Have A Good Day
Lynyrd Skynyrd Sweet Home Alabama. Morning. Stripped the bulk of the bike am just at front fork's and believe there siezed. Ripped away rubber boots and removed seal and clasp is rusted solid. Poured oil around top of fork's to see if loosen's the rust as used up my WD-40 so of to shop's today. With me having the Frankenstein mark 6 I can just scavenge parts. Believe bike was sitting for decade's and just slowly rusted away. The Engine i just lifted out has got compression but gears are Not all engaging so engine will need a complete strip and reckon Clutch plates are frozen. I always think of the worse then Smile if am lucky when dealing with Old bikes. I am just missing the mark 6 125cc Engine and will have the complete set. Might be a nice day today and can sand frame down then prime it as shed is empty now feels strange as you can enter it now. Finish my coffee then start on bike going to see if brake shoe's move after soaking them in Oil yesterday. Am going to try and Not scavenge to much from other bike but am a long way from that at the moment. Picture of Preston Mudder Mudguard's might spray white if look bad after cleaning them and use on the other bike thoe will see. Smile its look's Sunny
ELO Mr Blue Sky. Morning. I would like to correct my Post I will never have the Full set of Mark 6 as never seen a Mark 102 as I don't think I will thoe hopefully will find the Mark 100 for my frame one day and exhaust for it. I sanded down rusted part's and Painted swingarm with Hammer Paint. Unfortunately wrong colour so thinking of Spraying Silver over the Hammer Silver. Had my tooth out yesterday had enough of the Pain can Not stand toothache when it's a rollercoaster of Agony. Hopefully will sand down the rest of frame when it's better weather. Take Care of Your teeth if Your Young ?

David Bowie Life On Mars. Morning. Hi accidentally posted twice as my Battery was going with Warning message every 2 seconds gave up in the End trying to delete Post as Phone went Dead. Took Tank Sticker off and like I mentioned had some tank badge's unfortunately there off a different Model. One badge had Gold missing from hand so thought could I change the Colour. So sanded red off and scratched Gold out of the Bultaco Lettering. I have Black Enamel Paint for Lettering and Silver paint also i have Silver Spray Paint unfortunately Can Not find my Yellow Paint for Hand and Lettering at Bottom. Haven't Scratched Gold from bottom yet as only started last night with my insane idea. I cleaned the rust of rear wheel so looking much better but need new Spoke's there bad and rusted but will do for now. It's Not going to be a Bling Bike I want to use it my Son's believe am to ill to ride Now as Arthritis is getting worse in leg's and feet hurt more. Today will sand down some of the frame as just doing a bit at a time as hand's hurt from Vibration from Sander. My youngest won't help me believes it's Junk and just wants to lie in bed with his girlfriend playing PS4 while listening to Crap Music. Anyway picture of tank and badge's. Need to find my Yellow Paint so will Ask the Mr's as she has a knack of finding my stuff. If Not will have to buy a small tin size of my thumb as it should work as only changing Colour's.
Black Sabbath War Pigs. Morning. Decided to have a look at engine one of the Nuts what holds on Exhaust Manifold just kept turning the thread must of gone. I removed the other 3 nuts and jammed at screwdriver behind Manifold and used force so nut moved on to next ring and then just unscrewed off. The cylinder head will have to come off then barrel as the screw thread is gone. Took side panels off bone dry the Clutch has rusted didn't either have a Gasket on to stop water entering. I am missing the Push Rod and I don't think I have one. Will check rest of engine today if have time as I have my son arriving from Wales to help empty Attic. Take care.
Led Zeppelin When the Levee Breaks. Morning. Haven't done much as got my finger trapped when inserting fork into fork tree. When pushing fork into first hole it was stuck so pushed hard unfortunately my finger got took with the Momentum into second hole. It was like stubbing your toe badly and there is nothing you can do but just take the pain. Been cleaning part's when built going to phone around bike shop's for a quote for the 104 engine. I took fibreglass rear mudguard from the 100 frame for the 104 thoe hole's don't line up and certainly not going to drill more hole's so will use the plastic one till buy another. Took a lot from the 100 frame but will have to replace them when the dirt bike show is on in Manchester next year ? Will go to the Birkenhead bike shop tomorrow as need Fork Oil but won't buy engine oil till engine been serviced and clutch plate's need replacing as original are rusted. Take care now Winter is Hear.
U2 Pride ( In The Name Of Love). Morning. Have just slotted the 104 together for now so don't lose any more part's. I took the whole front end of the 100 model so will need replacing. With leg's hurting I keep going into bout's of depression as getting harder to walk. Will be putting it into garage to sort engine out as house is Chaotic as still clearing out house to move. Picture of 104 and picture of 100 with front end missing. Take Care this Winter
Led Zeppelin Stairway To Heaven. Hi Haven't done much because of my health I did manage to buy some Fiberglass Mudguard's. Thoe hole's don't line up on rear mudguard 😱. Will be filling a pair in with fiberglass filler and cloth then drill new one's as there is some crack's in rear mudguard as well what I need to re-enforce. I did buy chrome handle bar's for the model 100 to replace the ones I took for the 104. Also bought a Metal Air cage with tripod and spring's for the 100. The Motocross part's are just going to stupid price's unfortunately people are paying which makes finding cheap part's harder to find and to haggle. Anyway Have a Great Summer.😎
Hotel Californai Eagle's. I finally purchased Pursang Exhaust for the Mark 6 101 Engine It look's not to bad also it came with a small silencer. Still need a cylinder head for the engine thoe my youngest believes it will never be finished as I have slowed down through health but I will keep at it.
Lynyrd Skynyrd FreeBird. Gary Rossington last founding Member of Lynyrd Skynyrd Died a few day's ago. RIP. Morning.
