You'll be intrigued to know that it still exists .

I wouldn't touch any of those bikes with a barge pole . At least have a bit of class .

Yes , I think you've got it ! A Norton .

Round at my Mother's at Christmas and the old photographs came out . Picture one is my Grandfather on my Mother's side . I haven't figured out what the bike is but it could have already been quite old . The second picture is my late Father on a rather sensible early Bantam . Does anyone else have some photos to prove motorcycles are in their blood ?

Exercise in any form is very good for you but as a sole means to weight loss it won't work . The only path to weight loss is to reduce calorie intake . And I should know because a few years ago I lost 9 stone . And now I've put it all back on again .

I've been listening to the deluxe edition of Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band . Some really beautiful stuff on here particularly some of the work in progress versions of well known songs . Penny Lane as an instrumental being one of them .

Merry Christmas one and all !

I'd definitely recommend electrified KK rubber models . I've got a full size Contestor and a 200% Senator . Both are beautiful slow flyers on rudder and throttle only . The only downside is that they prefer very still air . I build from plans that are downloaded for free from Outerzone Plans ..

Ok I've found someone who says they have one on the CG Facebook page . If you join , you can link up . https://m.facebook.com/groups/cg125uksales/permalink/1020449761875323/

Fair enough , that's an equally valid view .

I have hinted at this before . Does this discussion serve any purpose ? Perhaps we should be mindful that any of the deceased's family and friends could accidentally stumble upon this thread by googling certain key words .

But this isn't a later CG model .

As as I can determine it should look like this in terms of the fixing points . The front two go under the nuts that hold the shocks on . The other two I'm not sure about . Because there at least a dozen Chinese copies of your bike , one would assume that there would be numerous copies of a rack . I've found a few but they are hidious looking contraptions aimed at the Third World marketplace . Anyway now that you have an idea what to look for , I wish you luck in your search . May I suggest that you join the CG FB page .

I made my own version of that with a string that ran the length of the garden and an Airfix Fairy Battle suspended below a pulley .

That place looks better than my flat .

Some very good pictures this year and a lot of them , including my own , appear to be in portrait rather than landscape mode .

I got banned from the Keil Kraft Facebook page for commenting that control line was a " Tethered aerofoil " and therefore not truly flying which I thought was a little unfair . I'm into the more gentle and fragile art of electric powered stick and tissue designs .

I remember now . You've got the Japanese retro version with the one up , four down gearbox .

How about Operation Squabble ? https://rafa.org.uk/blog/2020/06/12/it-was-crammed-with-huns-and-we-had-something-for-them/

This is worth a read . https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_Hunter_Tower_Bridge_incident

And that's how we do that . All ready to roar out over the North Sea and bomb , torpedo , strafe and rain rockets upon Nazi shipping .

Well they would wouldn't they . Not what it says on their website . This is for Cobra Chrome .

My favourite picture of 2021. And below , my bike in good company at Coventry Motofest .
