Fixed a hood on a camera lens and saved myself best part of £500 in the process. Then went out and shot these._ALB0657 by Adrian Barnard. Trackart, on Flickr_ALB0655 by Adrian Barnard.

Cheers Robbie. I kept and flew one of these when I was at secondary school. Inspired by the book Kes. They take an awful lot of dedication and looking after. She is now stuffed and sits on top the book shelf in my music room.Kessie the Kestrel. She's starting to look a bit raggedy these days.
Entered the Nifty Fifty Endurance race in May, got myself a Suzuki TS50 for the job. Spent two weeks stripping it down, sorting the clutch, brakes and carb, finally got it running Friday evening.Took it for its first test ride at my mate's farm, got 50 yards down a track and came off, dislocating my kneecap and tearing ligaments and other meaty shit out of place.I'm now in a brace, looking at surgery and can't ride for at least two months.

Bike was fine by the way, my mate was pulling wheelies on it afterwards. Pic of it here: https://www.givey.com/teampinkpuddleWorst part was I had my daughter's christening Sunday and ended up wearing a suit with cut off shorts, like that fucker in the money supermarket advert! Ever since she was born last December, my folks were asking me to stop riding, to ride safely etc. It's funny to think that every day I rag a 95bhp Yamaha down the M6 and through Birmingham, and it's a poxy 50cc bike at 10mph that actually does me in.

Started the strip down and stripped down the throttle cable and lubed as it was sticking. Also started polishing the frame.. You can see the part that's polished... Just need to do the rest of the frame and forks. The rear tyre has a nail in it , so will take to bike shop to get a plug put in it. Going to check amount of oil in the forks as the front end is really soft
Heels and all?
