Does the long haired bloke know what he's doing?
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Crickey Bill, I am nearly bald as a badgers bum :whistle...Heck! I had to fork out...(hang about, best not say how much as the Hubby of the girl who's been annually cuttin' me hair might well read this :wink1), getting most of it cut off while up on the Coast!

The only thing I regret in not working these days, I could have claimed the travel cost for the hair cuts on tax before :eek.

Bill, the greencan moto for experimental engineering is: begin on someone else's bike ;-... so the short answer would be NO!

Except I did not have the iPhone around the right way for videos so some editing was required  :||||  It was worth hanging around to see that part of the milling first hand, so getting back home a bit later was worth it. The skill and experience, not of Dick but Jim the master and owner of the milling machine, was something you cannot learn from books or videos. Jim is just 89 so a few years left to learn some things for young Dick.

Thanks for that glowing endorsement John!

So with that I will bid you all farewell in your ST endevours, I know when to take a hint and leave well alone.

Aww Can.  Bring back your bat and ball.  Remember, you started this!  I'll speak to John.
