Hope all the remaining Cerbera and their owners have a great 2025. I’m planning on mine being less disassembled in the new year.

Todays activity was trying to measure bore wear, engine moved into the office to avoid single digit temperatureshehe

Happy new year.

I once put a V6 ford engine through the dishwasher for a clean when dismantled. Wait until the wife is out and run one of those dishwaher cleaners through afterwards...

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to all in The Madhouse

Didn't start too well with DryJan putting me in Hospital (again)
BUT
Chinese New Year starts today and, in my attempt to join several of you in getting BlackBeauty© on the road this year, I awarded myself this little pressie.


Might cross a few less threads now scratchchin

Talking about Kitchen Incidents....

I had a jammed Gearbox (from a Yamaha RD350B) so I decided to put it in the oven, to see if it would free-up a little.
You would not believe the amount of smoke it created.
Scratch one Gearbox and Wife ! banghead

Somewhere in my 'real' photos history is the pic of my current wife (of 40 years) in the kitchen, trying to support my Honda CB1100 engine, while I take photos of it.

I consider nyself very lucky to have experienced the highs and lows of relationships (both Motor and Marital) thumbup

It's back resting at the moment, I have a long list of things, and sadly the paintwork is tired now, so a decision to be made on that.

Love it dearly still, might try and put it on the road in the summer smile
