Yesterday I found 3 metal chairs in the trash, and today I made 3 service stools out of them

Nice job repurposing those chairs, very handy in the workshop.
For me it was a quiet weekend at home with a ride out on Saturday afternoon on the motorbike and on Sunday afternoon on the Jack Taylor.
Great weather up this way.
Hope you are all well and hopefully get a meet up soon.

Royal Enfield 500 Classic by Jamie Dyer,

Nice Enfield, didn’t realise you were a motorcyclist. I’ve just bought a Triumph Scrambler 400, 10 years after I sold my last bike. Been taking it easy getting used to riding again, but it so much fun for a small bike. No chance of losing my license either with only. 40 horsepower and no wind protection. It’s like a built in speed limiter at 70mph.

Hi Clubby
Great looking Triumph, they get such a good write up.
Yeah, I have had motorbikes all my life and sold my BMW R100S a few years back and bought the 500 Enfield. I wasn’t riding anywhere near as much or anywhere the miles. Just when I have a few hours or the occasional club run away. I like the small size and the low power, the 500 only has about 25 horses. I have a Himalayan as well, that’s my commuter if I am not pedalling.
Brian has a few bikes as well

Yesterday at the service I started to re-assemble wheels for electric folding bikes because the spokes in the rear wheels are cracking. there are many such cases.

The original manufacturer installs the wrong spokes and the wheels are made too weakly.
If everything goes as I planned, many of these wheels will need to be rebuilt

I don't understand..... it's an original electric bike, 250 watt engine, I only changed the spokes to stronger ones because the original ones were cracking
