About Me

I have come into 2012 with a strong desire to be more healthy and reduce my weight to something more acceptable for a man of my age and height. On the 1st of Jan 2012 at the age of 45 and height of 6ft 2in, I weighed in at 18st 2lbs (that's 256 lbs or 116kg). I have a pretty large frame and have always been able to carry a bit of excess baggage but I think its time to do something about it for my health and energy levels more than anything else. The experts suggest that for a man of my height and age I should be about 13.5 st but I have set myself a target of 15 st (210lbs or 95kg) - thats a planned loss of around 3 st (46lbs or 20kg) This BLOG is a record of my attempt to achieve this goal and I have made it public to help keep me motivated and on track. If you have any comments, thoughts or ideas and suggestions please feel free to leave me a message..

Dad started work on the build today and here are the 1st pictures of the progress made.
The engine plates have been fitted and drilled and the gearbox has been put in place to start the fitting of the new primary chain case.
The front of the new primary case is much smaller than the old case and the long term intention will be to mill out the webbed area that was the mounting point for the original primary case, however we didnt want to split the cases as the engine has recently been rebuilt so in order to fill in the area that would otherwise be a mud trap, we decided to make a circular plate to fill in the space until we next have the engine apart, when we can mill out the excess ally casting that is not required (see the middle picture).
We can now build the engine back up and leave it complete in the engine plates so that is can be put in and taken out of the frame as a complete unit without having to disassemble again.
