    Restoration Advice

    in General Bike Chat

    Posted

    My Grandfather has always talked about getting his old BSA bike up fixed up but never had the time to do it

    I went and picked it up in the weekend plan to restore it for him for his 80th birthday in September

     

    Basically never messed around with such an old bike and wanting any advice on the Do's or Dont's ?? 

     

    My basic plan Plan is to strip frame down to bare metal repaint and get all parts either zinc coated or re chromed.

    There is a form you can get from the police to request someones details, I did it the other day when someone hit my car and speed off.

     

     

    I wouldn't worry too much, its probabley someone just fucking with you 

     

    i wouldnt be as concerned but i have had extremely bad luck with cars getting stolen. so im a bit paranoid

    So i went to the cop shop this morning...waste of time unfortunately they didn't want to hear about it let alone have it recorded down.  ended up convincing them to let me  write something down so that they could enter it.

     

    i realise the person didnt actually commit any crimes but if thats not dodgy behavior that should at least be followed up with a visit and talk to then i dont know what is....little disappointed to be honest..

     

    Also went to the post office to get address, turns out they dont do that any more?? or did i go to the wrong place

    Took the Gloria out for a drive to a mates tonight and on the way home was followed
     
    i was coming home down Milton street and this car was right up my ass so i pull over and let it pass, about 200m up the road the car pulls over and and quickly flicks its lights off, as soon as i pass it chucks its lights back on and tails behind me. i pull over again and it passes, i drive off thinking that was weird but its sorted and drive down a side street and the car appears behind me again i pull over down the side street and he pulls over about 50m behind me. I hope out off the car try read the number plate but couldn't quite make it out, so jump back in the car and pull a u turn. to try get a better view of the plate, as i do this he stomps of the gas and flicks his car around and takes off, end up chasing him through around a heap of side street at high speeds till we lost him, end up pulling out on to Halswell road and there he is again 2 cars behind us,  at this point im on the phone to *555 once he sees im on the phone he takes off down a side street... 
     
    Obviously something dodgy was up so just a reminder to people to keep and eye out and lock up your cars at night! 
     
    P.s i have the plate and car type (not sure if i should post or not) 

    Edit 
     
    Plate: ARF730
    Car: Blue Ford Escape

    Borrow/buy one from a tyre shop.

     

    I misplaced mine once and the local shop loaned me theirs.

     

    Cheers will give this a go if no one on here has one.

     

    Check your centre console and your glove-box. That's where I keep mine (you probably have looked there but, I'm just trying to help.) Alternatively check the side of the driveway where you last changed your wheels or the piece of 4x2 of the garage wall that you sat it on when you last changed them.

    OR! You've run over it with the lawnmower so check your shin bones or your neighbours houses.

     

    Yea have checked all those places, havent used it in so long hard to remember what i did with it! 

     

     

    I think I have one the same.

    Mag and turbo sold mine. Go see Chris wildey

     

    Choice you think you could have a look tonight Bart and let me know? 

     

    If not can you PM me Chris number?
