Tumeke

GN49. Done.

Stuck at work still. Will see when I get home

Come do a Coromandel loop with ASSES as practice mate. Good shakedown.

The B100 will sit at 60 all day. Got 4 of the gears. Tops out at 110 (factory says so?.... ahem) I've seen 85 before I backed off. But I like the bloody thing too much (family history), so might build something I can disrespect a little more

Did Nats over to Akaroa on the B100. 2 Smoke don't like hills. Even with 120cc. Then again it is 50 years old. I'll see what else I can find in time.

I'm gonna sit at 60ish. Kinda feels more like the spirit of the event. If i wanted to go faster I'd bring a real bike or an OS car? An Austin 7 would be a perfect car for this event. Max speed around 60. (with a downhill and a strong south westerly up your freckle, no passengers and no pies for brekkie)

A.S.S.E.S will be in attendance. Clevedon Underpowered Not Terrific Scooters may also make an appearance.

I answered those thoughts for myself yesterday. ^^^

Ken. Will start building things for my bikes that I wont finish now. Not sure where you cunse went exactly - but some mean abandoned buildings at Tokomaru Bay.

Except too spendy and probably half decently engineered. I want a Tumeke spec broken Chinese scoot with badly attached diesel chugger (+t?)

I would like to build a diesel scooter because of reasons. Anyone got a cheap stationery engine?

More money spent on Ali. Also some 6v LEDs for experiments.

@Chris.QCR also link pls. I remember looking at some american spendy ones a few months ago.

Oh, I have more @MopedNZ. Many, many more.

I'm happy to supply a support / backup scooter or two for the trailer similar to the Waikato ride if needed. FUTONG 'FO LIFE YO

Is there a dates yet ?

Bike has been pretty busy doing the stuffs. Pic dump below.

So, summer is over - which means I no longer need a summer boat project. The Wolseley therefor must find a new home. She did her duty as a wedding car with 4 bridesmaids in the back. Suspension was so soft that we had smoke due to rubbing*. Something else caught my eye at Nats, which gave further push to get this thing gone. Picture dump below. She'll be on the market tomorrow for some old British Barry Boat foamer to take on. The number plate is probably my favorite bit. Boobs For Bond - double d's 4 007. *Tyre rub - not bridesmaid.

Other discussion at the OS meat was that I should glue more steel into the back sill and tidy up some of my rushed other stuff, of which I did. I didn't take enough photos, but here's one early on after making a new bit of patch. Patch 1 in first stages. Just got on with it and didn't photograph progress. Decided to be brave and took for a WOF check. Failed: Exhaust hangers missing. - quickly bodged some up out of a bit of leather and metal I had lying about. Brake cylinder rear appears to be leaking. Further inspection I found it was further diff seals leaking - this time the inner one. Up to Saeco and grabbed another seal. Old vs new. Cleaned up inside brake drum and reassembled with new seal and repacked bearings. Gearbox mounts were pretty chooched so had to replace them too. While I was under here decided to plug some leaks and have a general cleanup too. Old mount vs new. Also had to fix the windscreen washer pump, of which I forgot to photograph. Unrelated to WOF, boot smelt like a servo, so pulled out the old pump. I tried a couple of glues to fix an already repaired pump but in the end just put a new one in. looks like I wasn't the first to attempt to fix it. Finally adjusted the handbrake to work and took it back for re-inspection. WOF Level Achieved.

Update the 3rd. Took her for a blat to an oldschool Auckland meat. Much discussion from OS members about stuffs. @GuyWithAviators captured Lucas electrics letting the smoke out.

@JustHarry update about to load

Number PL8 M8?
