What have you done to your Trike today... (2023)

[ratwing]

Replaced the front tyre about a fortnight ago because it was cracking in between the tread and the back pair have gone the same way so had to replace them too. It's a bit weird, they're a different size, age, make and weren't all changed at the same time but they're all cracking together.
Internet searching didn't find any 275/60-15's at the local tyre places so ended up buying a pair of Nankangs like the ones already on the trike online from Germany. Rochester Tyres in Strood fitted them and it turned out they're Nankang dealers and could have got them - strange they didn't come up when I was searching.

Gave Saucey Sue a good polish with that new ceramic stuff so she looks good for Silver ball cafe day gave her a good check over and found I've lost a wheel bolt new one on order can still run her on three don't know how long that's been missing? just noticed today.

What days do you go to the cafe? Been a few times but the only trike has been my partner's.

I believe that ACF50 was developed by the Canadian navy to stop planes corroding on their aircraft carriers.

I use our 2 cats to keep the mouse population under control and a raspberry pi to look after the garage temperature.

Replaced oil and filter, filter was stuck firm, did the wd40 with hammer tap trick, worked a charm, used 10/40 oil with extra zddp, runs sweet as a nut. New distributor sent back, didn't work, something wrong with gearing, didn't point to no1 cylinder every time engine rotated. About to order a new one from a guy that modifies them, with the extra fuel going in etc getting a 1500-3500rpm advance, non vacuum one.

How do all.

Just in case you aint twigged, don't apply to ACF 50 to brake discs, seats etc.
