Proper British bikes had no hero pegs Sir, they are an Asian import! The majority of proper British bikes didn't need them  Proper British bikes had no hero pegs Sir, they are an Asian import! The majority of proper British bikes didn't need them Your right this was on a Hinckley built Triumph 1200 Trophy. ;-) Nice bike. I do love a classic brit - one of my mate's got a very large collection of Broughs. However, when Bloor decided to create bikes using the Japanese model, they started to get some serious performance. I've got a 1988 ZX10 - about 140bhp, 0-60 is a nad over 3 secs, and 170mph top speed. Four years earlier Triumph were still flogging the 43bhp T140.... Totally agree with you at the time I also had a 1955 Velo MAC 350 and a 1967 BSA A65 Lightening ex USA export. When Morgan rang to say the build slot for my new +8 had been brought forward post 9/11 I sold the lot to fund it ;-). BR Colin (and how could I forget my ultra distance favourite I had a BMW R1100RT 3 years old at the time I sold it, bought it new and put 60,000 miles on it and I was working away at the time a lot so mostly done in 2 week holidays where I rode it to Rome one year, Munich and almost Gibraltar on other trips)

Yeah, I halved my fleet when I bought my Morgan - a) to recoup a bit of cash and b) I needed the space for parking! Got rid of a Honda GL1000, Suxuki GSX1100, Armstrong MT604 and a BMW K75.

Using old bed slats and some old mohair I made a unique birdbox loosely based upon an RSPB design. You can see why DIY isn't my core skill set. The style is "Rustic Bodge". ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/03/27/20200327_143424.jpg)   So hat have you bodged up to break the lockdown boredom?  Nothing bodged up about that brilliant piece of construction there John I'm afraid ! What isn't particularly brilliant is the very basic wiring to the front indicators on the N plus 8 which became corroded due to substandard wiring by MMC causing said car to fail its MOT yesterday. The wiring had to be de clagged of muck/salt dirt - under the wheel arch which is not a good place) and then connections replaced to get indicators working again to pass finally - luckily there is an MOT place very near me with strict covid 19 controls in place .

I know a plumber would have done it much faster Craig, but imagine the satisfaction I got when I stood back and admired my handywork!
If you intend to leave it like that, then I strongly recommend you box it in!  Just finishing off a towel rail whilst on a roll! If anyone needs help with plumbing PM me. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/03/27/radiator-fail.md.png) Don’t call us. We’ll call you! Erm, I don't think we will call

Well done Rob, maybe you can do the tiling in our bathroom? It’s the guest en suite so just use what tiles you’ve got.
Ps I thought this thread was about motorbikes

Ps I thought this thread was about motorbikes Hi Stuart I'm getting to grips with mosaics at the moment if your good lady likes the latest trends. I'd be happy to have a go at yours, no charge to you of course as I could do with the practise to get it perfect. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/03/28/8994_3_sink.th.jpg)
