Kitchen chaos

Bit of a major day with the kitchen extension project today because today is the day I knock through from old to new. Spent the last few days gutting the old kitchen including removing the old back door and window. This is what I ended up with.

Couple of props, a big hammer and a few hours 'expressing' myself and this is what you get!


Now all I have to do is put a kitchen back in. (oh, and wack some steel lintels in to hold the house up).

Weekend at the Stafford bike show

Well a fine weekend was had at the Classic bike show at Stafford Show ground. Club stand attracted a fair few visitors and one of our number won an award for her SRX. Just a few piccies for those who are interested.

A beautiful SRX 400 electric start motor stuffed into a 600 kickstart frame.

The prize winning SRX 600. Not bad for a first attempt at a custom build.

Snuck this triumph trident/featherbed cate racer in amongst the singles as it has to be the most beautiful cafe racers out there. I could be converted to triples!

Found this amongst the 'Early Stocks' racers. Lovely little pocket rocket.

How's that for a funky FT500 flat-tracker?



And here's my baby. loaded like a pack mule and resting next to my weekend base camp. She may lack the glamour of those bikes in the show, but I wouldn't swap her.
