This came to me from a classic bike site I frequent

PLEASE HELP THIS LITTLE BOY SMILE!!!

Hi everyone : I was just hoping I could get your help with something. I have found out that a friends 4 year old son, Charlie, is suffering from a terminal brain tumour, and has only a few months to live. The family’s top priority is to make Charlie’s last days as memorable as possible. One of the things Charlie absolutely loves is receiving post, and he always rushes out to collect the post each morning. As such, his parents have started a postcard campaign, and are asking as many people as possible to send a postcard to Charlie, with just a simple, cheerful message on it. (Please do not mention his illness or include get well wishes.) If you are able to do this, it would really make a difference for Charlie and would be a great help and support for his parents during this difficult time.

Any postcards should be sent to

Charlie Codling
C/O Manor Farmhouse,
Little Beside,
St Day,
Redruth,
Cornwall.
TR16 5PX

Thank you very much. I’m really hoping this request will mean there are a few more postcards arriving at Charlie’s door x

Please REPOST ON YOUR OWN FB or TWITTER SO WE GET AS MANY POSTCARDS SENT AS POSSIBLE MANY THANKS

Mangkang County is located in the easternmost part of Changdu Region of Tibet, is the intersection of highway of Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet province, 214,318 National Road is also merged here. The landscape along the way is magnificant with mountain groups. The mountains here is a bit different from the mountains we saw before. Mountains here always show their bare earth color in front of people. Riding through the mountains, you can feel the grandness. This time, we have the real feeling of "Scenery from the top" . Magnificant and beautiful!

The mountain groups are so marvelous, luring the clouds jumping into tjeir arms to dance.

On further investigation I discovered the seam on my fuel tank where the mounting bracket is at the rear of the tank and under the front end of the seat had a small split in it.
I took the tank off, drained all the petrol out cleaned up the tiny little split and welded it, using very little heat with my arc welder by just spotting it and letting it cool before repeating the process.
I thought I had done a good job and cured the problem but after filling the tank back up with petrol it still leaked.:mad:
Re-drained fuel again and this time cleaned up along the entire seam with small grinder and welded the entire seam only to discover it still pissed out.
The time was nearly 11 o'clock at night and too late to fuck about any more, so new tank needed before going to Bute.:mad:

We will have to drive down to the River Dart rally now instead of taking the MT.:wink:


I put a message on the MT forum this morning that I wanted a fuel tank and I have just had a reply back from "Bunker" an MT Riders Club member, who has offered me a petrol tank "FREE" nothing wrong with it but he has changed his to a plastic one, what a top bloke! :wink:

The Olympic flame will touch down in the UK in Cornwall London 2012 torch relay



The Olympic flame is due to arrive in the UK on Friday evening, ready for the start of the London 2012 torch relay.
Footballer David Beckham, Princess Anne and Lord Coe, chairman of Games organisers Locog, are flying from Athens, Greece with the flame.
Flight BA2012, a gold-colour plane named Firefly, lands just before 19:30BST at Cornish airbase RNAS Culdrose, for a welcoming ceremony.
The 8,000 mile, 70-day torch relay around the UK begins on Saturday.
It starts from Land's End, Cornwall and triple Olympic gold medal-winning sailor Ben Ainslie will be the first of 8,000 torchbearers who will carry it across the country.
The torch visits the four nations of the UK before being carried into the Olympic Stadium in Stratford on 27 July for the opening ceremony of the Games.
It will travel through 1,019 cities, towns and villages, on foot or in convoy, and drop in at UK landmarks like the Giant's Causeway and Stonehenge. ]]> Beer Tent essjay http://www.harley-davidson-hangout.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100977 Happy Birthday Black Angel http://www.harley-davidson-hangout.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100976&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 23:38:09 GMT Happy Birthday Sue, Hope you have a nice day:smile: Happy Birthday Sue, Hope you have a nice day:smile: ]]> Sussex Coasters MR P http://www.harley-davidson-hangout.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100976 Engineers Flow Chart http://www.harley-davidson-hangout.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100975&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 23:37:09 GMT For the benefit of those that don't visit the Tech Sections.:smile:
