Lovely bit of engineering, puts us spanner twiddlers and Manchester screwdriver bashers to shame  *smile*

I was looking at your company website and we were drooling over the dream job vacancy. Do you ever get complacent working on Delahayes, Delages and Lagondas?

Is it your company or are you like my mate, recently retired from Cosworth, who replaced all the chrome on his old shovelhead Harley with stainless, using "off cuts" during his "tea breaks". You can plead the 5th on that  *smile*

Hi there Julian, I have been checking this post for a while and find it very interesting. I haven't posted any comments as I didn't feel competent enough to (Still a bit green round the gills with mechanicals) (learning though). I agree that a video would be an excellent idea and a asset for the forum. All the best fella and excellent work, first class. Chicago

Thanks guys,

Ethelred,
I am the "M" in LMB  but that may stand for "Muthafucka"  *smile* *smile*
I try to do nothing in works time etc, just the use of the workshop and machinery etc, that way it all stays simple.

Complacency is easy to achieve  *smiley4*  sometimes it's good to pinch your self and say "Hey, this is your life! how lucky are you!"   Very fucking lucky to be honest!!

Will do a vid of the start up but not before I'm sure it runs  ;o)
I can make a prick of myself often enough without you lot watching  :o

Nobody's going to think that!  I hope it fires up immediately, but if it doesn't, so what? ......we've all been there, even the best don't get it right 1st time every time.
     good luck! mf

Hey Julian, have you got any videos of the work you've done upto now, you could put them in the video section ?. Sure people would find them fascinating. All the best fella, chicago

Hi there,

No is the short answer,  Don't video anything as most of the time my work is a bit spontanious,  I am restoring / building three bikes at once and the limited time I get to work on them, my time is spread between jobs as well as dealing with phone calls for work etc. Even at weekends.
Videos would just use time i don't really have. Besides, I am no expert, so I will leave the vids to them.

I like doing pictures though  ;) ;)

Ok fair enough fella. Shame. I think a lot of people would disagree about not being an expert. All the best fella, Chicago.

like the side stand.
Also what kind of shocks have you on there, don't think I've seen such before are they traily/scrambler specific?
