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..

Spritepost 10




Although we are still waiting for the rear sprocket to arrive from Talon, some of the final touches have now been done in preparation for finally hooking up the chain and giving it a run.

The modified swinging arm and the rear mudguard stay have been returned from the powder coaters and re-fitted along with the new longer rear shocks.

The rear brake arm has been made from 6mm bar rather than the planned cable to route cleanly around the shock and pull straight from the brake pedal.

Mods have been done to repair the top of the forks as the top caps of the forks had been damaged at some point in the past

Sprite stickers have been received (Thanks to Wal Fox for these) and add the nice finishing touches to the tank.

Pictures attached..
