Now why would Josh need a parts book for a Super Rocket when he owns a plunger Flash ? Wouldn't have anything to do with this by any chance............................

So your looking at a second bike are you Josh, just be carefull as it can be the start of a slow but definite slide into the depths of multiple bike ownership.

It all starts out innocently enough, owning one is a lot of fun and you think it would be nice to have two. But this is where it can start going wrong, suddenly a third one turns up and you just cant turn it down, and then another, and another............ next thing you know you have a shed full. Everywhere you go you will start looking for more bikes or parts, its a terrible disease and will consume your life....

Put a sign over your shed door    "abandon all hope ye who enter here"

Some drink, some do drugs, some have a mistress and others bikes.

To be fair, one can multi-task too (there are some agreeable recreations on the list) . . . but Brian's right. They breed once you get to a pair, and then there's no stopping them . . . But who'd want to try? No such thing as too many machines, the only limitations are shed-size and wallet. Both mine are over-stretched.
I wonder how much a nice new bigger dry shed would cost . . . .

Hay Josh I'm in trouble, have ALL the symptoms but married the mistress. She said yes to a bigger shed. I'm in heaven.

Biggus Dickus, I really enjoyed riding those imaginary bikes of yours  *smile*.

For a wife to allow her husband to own that many bikes, he'd need to be hung like a horse,,,,,,, and I'm not.

Tom,

The bike is done ( rolling with all the shiny bits and electrics ), the engine is being put together by "the Engine guy", not far off.

Hi Josh,

Did you get any joy finding a manual for the Super Rocket? I do have a heap of stuff i'll sort through it when i get home. I'm not sure what i have, but have loads of BSA stuff, I'll let you know!

Richard, Is that your Workshop? whats all those bits of plastic next to the proper bikes??

My tip for additions to the bike collection is ..... When SWIMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) says where did that come from? the standard reply is....
Oh that old thing, yea thats been in the back of the shed for years covered with sheets (not Shit).

Its starting to wear a bit thin now!

Cheers

Steve
Kind Regards
