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..

All systems are go on the build as the frame is back from the powder coaters. They have made a really good jopb of the finish, even though its going on a trials bike, I do think a good finish on the frame makes all the difference on the final product.
As you can see, we got the engine straight into the frame and started building with the parts that we could put on.
The silencer is not yet finished as the end needs cutting and an additional pipe welded on to direct the exit out to the right to miss the rear damper.
We have gone with Betor shocks from Sammy Millers, I know that Falcons might be a little better and rebuildable in alloy, however I think Betors work well and for the price the can be thrown away after a season and new ones bought 3 times for the price of Falcons!
I thought I would add a picture of the bike builder doing his stuff today too - Thanks Dad!!!
