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..

Fanticpost 3











Things are moving at quite a pace on the Fantic, but we have now ground to a halt waiting for suppliers to get the bits to us that we need.

A couple of additions this week are a really neat brake pedal, brake arm, chain guard and chain tensioner all made by my dad's fair hand.

Once the new head gasket arrives this week the head can be secured and the exhaust fitted then we are waiting for the forks to come back from re-chroming and the front end can go back together.

It will then be the tank that causes a delay to the final build as this will undoubtedly be another couple of weeks to get the final replica tank so we may have to use the original tatty tank for a while to get it out and try it.

As you can see from the pics it certainly is coming along nicely!
