Tea? (Part 2)

[potsy]

Err I don't know how to break it to you, but you have missed pancake day too

Off to bed, these 4am alarm calls are not fun, be glad to get back on late shift next week

ps, Shouldn't you be having a cold shower after watching the men in lycra?

 

[Speicher]

It is possible to eat pancakes on any day of the year. I have carried out extensive practical research on this topic.

I nearly needed a cold shower after watching the divers. I never knew that anyone made, or could fit into, or even wear such teeny weeny swimming trunks.

 

[Speicher]

Good night Arch.

Photos of Ratrike.

This is the tube behind the seat. It is flattened at the bottom end and bolted to the frame. I invested an M6 clinchnut to have a threaded hole in the frame. The top end is fixed to the original mudguard bracket with another investmetn, a stainless steel zip tie.

This is the side view of the chrome extension with the lights on complete with coat hook!

And the front view.

Here is one of the front mudguards being formed on the front tyre. It is just two bits glued together and held with a luggage strap. The spring back should give it a bit of clearance.

 

[Arch]

Cool! Every trike should have a coat hook!

Blimey, it was hard work coming in today. Nearly blown to a complete standstill at one point by a head on gust.

I bet it's turned round by hometime.....

Lovely and sunny here, but that wind is a bitch! I have 10 miles straight into it to look forward to after a hard shift at the grind stone.
I have forgotten to bring any milk in as well, so can't even have a cup o tea, am making do with instant lemon tea and cappuccinos.

I am waiting in for a parcel to be delivered. They have not given even an approximate time of day.

If no-one can guess the sport I will be watching on Friday, I shall start a new thread.

 

[potsy]

Is it topless darts? used to quite enjoy watching that

 

[Speicher]

No!

I have decided to start a new thread, possibly later today, as I think it will be very punny.

So if you think you can guess, just join in with the puns, instead please.

That's punny, not puny, nothing puny about these sportsmen.

I shall seek out your new fred, Speicher. I'm a glutton for pun ishment.

Ratrike mudguards:

Amazing what you can do with a bit of hardboard off cuts and some scrap metal (bit of old KMX frame).

OK Arch, race ya!
Ratrike vs Catrike!

 

[Speicher]

Talking of timber, my neighbour from over the road had a look at my broken leg. He reckoned he could fix it with some extra strong super glue and a clamp.

 

[Arch]

OK Arch, race ya!
Ratrike vs Catrike!

Ok!

What sort of distance - 50 miles, 60?

Neat mudguards anyway! A little rough and ready, but that's the KMX style really, they aren't a machine to be prissy about. If they work, that's what matters. So are you hoping for some rain to go out in?

I'm quite sleepy now, I've been out catching up with an old friend, and after a pint and a half and a pie and mash, I'm ready for bed...

You party animal Arch

Is your friend Charlie Sheen?

Talking of bed,

 

[Speicher]

After a pint and a half, I think I would be very merry. Charlie Sheen, he would have polished off all the beer.

Good night Potsy and Arch.

I will be in Librarian mode tomorrow.
