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 34 - Finished???





I took the bike out on Friday for the 1st time to see how it handled and make sure that it was OK for Sunday's trial.

I was running the DelOrto carb on the bike and it felt really good off the bottom in 1st but in 2nd and 3rd it felt like there was a bit of a misfire and it wouldn't pull cleanly from low revs. It probably needs a bit of testing with different jets and cut away's on the slide but as I didn't have much time I plumbed for dropping the Amal back on as I knew that it ran pretty well on that before.

The bike actually ran really well and pulled cleanly (much cleaner than before so that might be down to the longer front pipe). Any way, all looks good for Sunday.

These pics were taken on Saturday afternoon after I had given it a clean and a quick once over ready for the weekend's trial.
