Think I know the reason why you +1' D David ! ;)
He was a bit of a grumpy unhelpful sod when I went to see him.. but there again, it's just a hobby for me and he's trying to earn a crust out of restoration, which can't be easy. His next door neighbour is a cracking guy though, makers you a cuppa, good banter and does superb paintwork.

Does nobody else remember the utter disaster that happened when John Wyatt was used by "Classic Motorcycle & Mechanics" to recondition the "Project C.B.X." engine they were covering in the early 90's? :o Long and short of it was he left some blasting media in an oil gallery after blasting the cases. The team fitted the engine, and in a matter of minutes it was toast. I seem to recall that S.E.P.in Kegworth ended up re-doing it all,(Rebore & pistons,Crankshaft restoration, which was bent as well, shells etc) :'( :'( So you'll understand when I have a damn good laugh when I see ads saying " Restored by top restorer John Wyatt" ;D ;D ;D ;D At least Wyatt paid the bill from S.E.P. :'(

I love this forum.
This weekend's reading has included the anecdote above about the restorer who was perhaps not as diligent as he should have been - I enjoy reading things like this. There is also the ongoing saga of a guy potentially condemned to a diet of Pot Noodles as his microwave grill thingy has blown up, and a nurse throwing flour around her kitchen and trying not to get it on the sundry pieces of motorcycle lying around in there. Oh, and some stuff about bikes too ....
Great entertainment, and help and advice when you need it too. What more could you want? :)
