Very strong bush to hold up an oil drum. Even empty.

 

I did find out the hard way that an Elderberry bush will support the weight of a trials motorcycle.

We ended up chopping half the bush down to extract the bike.

 

It was all rather embarrassing...

Hmm I'd like to know what the 'obja dar' is at the centre of the photo is? Looks like the bottom of a hazel nut perched on a washer from this angle. Is it abstract art that Farmer Giles wife made at the pottery class- when of course she wasn't telling him off for leaving the tractor on the front driveway.

Top of the dovecote.

It's got to be a dovecote in that garden for the following reasons:

 

Doves - Pretty.

 

Wood pigeons - Drab but tasty.

 

Town pigeons / racing pigeons - Flying rats.

6th pannier well on the way to completion.

Now 8787 as this was the only relevant number that 247 Developments had in stock so that is what she became.

No issues for me as so long as it was 87xx I was happy.

Just buffer beam numbers to add, some weathering to the red and of course the necessary fire irons?

Crew in make up at the moment and then they can be added.

I believe I have detailed the calculation for the optimum number of pannier tanks on here before.

 

It's based on the established Wolf - Spiers theorem of vintage motorcycles:

 

N=X+1

 

Where N is the ideal number to own and X is the number that you already own.

I feel a lot better this morning. Can’t cope with the withdrawal symptoms.

Sounds like me with coffee

Looking from the farmyard past the gate down the lane that goes over the brook.

I can confirm that is the Colonel fishing with his rod and not standing there try to fill the brook!!

Looks odd from this angle?

 

Not seen that view before have we...?

A  pannier in chocolate and cream. What would that look like. Make a change from black or green.
 

 

Try and find a picture of either 2120 or 2140 as modified circa 1906 for about 5 years till reversion to standard.
