Hobot, it would be great to see you back on the commando page. Your past advice to me (ride in ever increasing circles until confident in bike) was right on and works with all vintage vehicles.

Quite right.

And its getting awfully dull over there without you Steve.

Please come back and brighten up our lives a little !

Emma Peel: I suppose Mother warned you about women like me?
John Steed: Until now, I didn't know there were women like you.

No holes in bottom of Peel's petite panties

TRADE MARK "MAKUBE" PAT. PENDING, John W. Toyne, 1017 De Maude Ave. South Bend, Ind. plus the instructions how to use the tray is shown on the badly deteriorated carton container (left Picture). The MAKUBE has 49 squares to form ice cubes and MAKUBE” on the bottom of the cube cutter. There is a small hole in the bottom of the cutter to allow air to escape when the cutter sinks into the block of ice.

Peel's bare junk

Peel is a tight fit everywhere to fix.

Nice engine stand!

Fast Eddie · Sep 3, 2016

Nice nail varnish.

Wouldn't have had that as your colour Steve :wink:

If the “engine stand” is a genuine Chippendale stool it will be worth more than all the other items in the picture :!: :shock:

There seems to be a large Druin shaped gap Steve...

I like it, good to see someone doing something diffrent, would be great and be a bit scary to be the first to test ride it but that has to be the builder of course (good luck Steve old mate) but doing things diffrently from others is what motorcycling is all about, if you don't try it, you never know, anyway Peel is starting to take shape and looking good, keep it up Steve can't wait to see the end result.

I believe those shocks need to be mounted right side up, reservoir at the top, or they won't function properly. Check Ohlins' site to verify it. That was the best way to destroy the Marzocchis on the late Bonnevilles.

That will also reduce your unsprung weight.

I was referring to the internal functionality, but that's a great point about unsprung weight; at least 10 pounds there...
