Leave a reply

Greetings all, it’s my pleasure to inform that Krampus Treffen 2024 will be all systems go on 6/7/8 December.

New site this year near Lymm in Cheshire.

However as in previous years due to the peculiarities of the site pre booking is necessary.

25 people max. Please book with me via email

bynnsi@ gmail.com

I shall send directions about a week before blast off.

The Site is located on a private farm, and camping fees are a donation to charity.

There will be a caterer on site doing good quality food ( not a burger van) The food to be paid for when ordering.

There is a pub in walking distance but beer will be available on site. Recommended £1 pint ( bring a vessel) on an honesty bar.

Tea and coffee also available, possibly bisquits.

Its a basic site with only one bog and no showers, so timing is everything.

There will be a marquee on site with a brazier for folk to thaw out/ gather round to talk nonsense.

If you are able to play an accordion or recorder please bring them along as we may run out of logs.

howdo chums, for those who have forgotten it is the club AGM this weekend. The meeting will be in the pub function room on Saturday about 1 pm, and we have the room for the evening. Details of the venue are in this post. The campsite is reserved for Mz ers so don’t be shy. I have booked reasonable weather, and the views are fantastic.

what could be better than camping behind a pub in Yorkshire?

The landlady has laid in extra beer!

Howstean Gorge winter camp

Leave a reply

Howdo cats n kittens, just had a ride out to check on our booking at Howstean Gorge for January. Pleased to announce that all systems are go.

Howstean Gorge winter camp 19/20 Jan 24

Howstean Gorge Lofthouse, Pately Bridge, Harrogate HG35SF

For those who have not visited before, the site is behind the Howstean Gorge cafe/visitor center.

There is a reasonably new facility block with good showers. The site is in walking distance of 2 pubs, both called The Crown! The pubs are about a mile away, sadly one of the pubs ( the top Crown) is up a very steep hill. It’s well worth the effort though decending after a night spent imbibing has proved difficult in the past!

Both pubs do hearty food and there is also the cafe.

The area is fantastic for motorcycle riding, and can be spectacular in winter.

we have booked snow!

Be there or be huddled under a tartan blanket wearing slippers watching celebrity spank off on the tellybox!

Weird harmonics

1 Reply

Oi oi kittens, here is a a strange one.

I have just rebuilt a ts 150, it was a complete bike but basically scrap. Anyhoo everything is fine apart from at certain revs there is a strange thrumming rattle. I have been round with a stethescope and the noise seems to be the frame vibrating! Has anybod had a similar experience?.

I have had the frame welded where the foot pegs mount as the pegs had caught and ripped the mount free. Also the rear pegs were rotten so I cut them off and plated the hole. Solid repairs, I can’t see them making any difference.

I have now put a bolt through the frame using an existing hole just in front of the tank mounts.

this has reduced the noise but not stopped it. All injin mounts tight and clearance on header pipe ok.

Fork extentions

Greetings chums, has anyone used these fork extenders available on eBay? Or any suggestions to extend a pair of ts125 forks ? I’m building a small trail bike, and would like a bit more clearance at the front.

Ts125 crank wanted

Leave a reply

Oi oi pussycats

got myself another stinky. Sadly crank is fooked.

looking on the normal sites and the price of o new crank is more than I gave for the bike. Don’t seem to be any conrod kits out there either. Soooo, has any one got a good second hand crank gathering dust?

Greetings chums, does anyone have an etz125 frame they want to part with? I have an engine with no home and fancy making a small trail bike. I have a ts125 frame but don’t want to cut it to fit the later injin
