My bike's old Villiers engine unseized after a sitting for a day with a cylinder full of duck oil, followed by a gentle rock back and forth while it was in gear. Fabbo

@suffolksmallholder it's no Tiger 110... but it's a (very, VERY cheap) start

It's well up on my neighbour's old bike, it's got gears and brakes!

Not being into old motorbikes I can't remember what it is but it's a 500cc single with direct belt drive to the rear wheel and he's had it round the TT circuit at over 70

It's not often you go to the local sale and there's a classic bike in front of you. I couldn't walk past it! I'd say it was £420 well-spent

Me, I'd have it in a million pieces & back together (I would hope) this weekend. Having checked the brake shoes too, new tyres & an MOT booked.........Then get a nice heavy cotton over-cover on order & a good spot in the shed cleared away with all the bits & bobs needed to keep it in good fettle to hand. WD40 to start with, quality 2 stroke oil (Stihl or Husq) & a booklet on making an Amal carbie into a beast re the cut-away, needle & pilot settings. Serious considerations on electronic ignition would be my only step away from authenticity. I have a Stuart Turner which really benefits from ex BSA 'Boyer' ignition.

New pen holder for office desk comes up a treat.

It's been going up and down in my uncle's tractor since 1952.

Today, I took my tractor - all polished - into a city centre nursery where I let 100 or so under 5s climb on it and switch the beacons on etc. Then had a chat to them about the things we grow here and on neaby farms with some samples of grains and some examples of what they are turned into.

Cost - my time, a bit of diesel, half kilo of various crops.
Value in small, happy faces and a bit of a connection to the food they eat - priceless.

My kids! Today as I unpacked the shopping I heard a groan from my 14 year old son " Bourbon Creams are boring", I opened the packet and started to promptly shovel in the biscuits into my mouth one after the other not saying a word or even looking at him, after the third had been scoffed he says " Save some for me", doubt he will moan about boring biscuits for a while!

Mum excelling herself with the art she sends me. She loves the collies as much as Freddie and it's lovely to have these mementoes

Finding an absolutely fab, weird Italian 90's dance internet radio station. Workshop life has improved by AT LEAST 200%
