ROLLERBURN











It has never happened before and will never happen again. Roller Derby, custom and race bikes, art, cakes, clothes, bicycles, skateboard slalom, roller sprinting, men in goggles, custom bird boxes, drag racing, comedy, Guy Martin, bands and girls...girls with very short shorts...lots of girls with very short shorts.
Ali, Ell and i had a good day on the GKM/EtR stall and it was great to chat with the people i only usually see in summer and to meet more new faces of readers of this tripe. Early start again this morning for the Autojumble which was pretty busy for a change to meet up with some "Rollerburners" looking like they'd enjoyed the night.
Ben, Gary and the boys from Sideburn magazine take a bow, it was brilliant. Rollergirls tomorrow !

READY FOR THE 'BURN




Replaced the scruffy old Lucas mag on the sprinter with a scruffy old BTH mag and its like a new bike, starts second kick ish and even ticks over. It runs so good ive about wrecked the slick.
Chop seems OK, hopefully oil leaks all sorted (for now). Made a ram pipe out of a turbo inlet, narrowed the bars 2", repositioned the front caliper so there is less knock off on the pads and reworked the rear brake linkage to give more leverage so the brakes seem pretty good now. Also gone down 3 teeth on the rear sprocket to make for better crusin' and finally found some more big finned exhaust rings. I will give it a good run after next weekend, i'm not cleaning it again..
