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..

Beezerpost 30



The exhaust came back from the metal finishers on Friday and a fine job they did too! The bending scrapes have been polished out and it now looks almost chrome. As you can now see, the bend is a bit different which was intended to give a full 22in of front pipe before the silencer. Running it this weekend will show whether any true benefits have been gained in power delivery.

Another small piece of work that Dad this today was to make a stub for the Amal carb. This is to enable us to switch between carbs as i want to experiment with a Del Orto carb to see what is possible with the engine/carb set up and once I know what is possible, then I will look to tuning the Amal to see whether something similar can be achieved. I might even see what can be done with a Villiers carb too!

I heard from Piers Dowell yesterday and things are on track with the tank and we should get it back at some point mid week.
