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..

The bike is coming along nicely and Dad is doing a great job of the preparation work. Since the last post the following have been done;
  • Mounting points have been braised on for the tank and exhaust

  • Shims have been turned and fitted in the headstock to allow the taped roller bearings to fit correctly

  • Pattern made for the footrest hangers and sent off to be lazer cut from 6mm sheet

  • Frame has gone to powder coaters

  • Bash plate has been fitted

  • Clutch fitted and belt obtainjed from Nigel Bower at NEB

  • Mag fitted

  • The damaged fork leg has been welded up where it was damaged at the mudguard stay mounting point by Bully and that has been collected and milled, shaped, drilled, tapped and polished so it's ready to go again

Todays pics are of the engine with the beautiful clutch fitted and just waiting for a powder coated frame to come and wrap itself around it. Should be back by the weekend so we can start showing some pictures of the build as it takes shape.
