Looks a good idea - the small helpers could even be trained to start it up occasionally

(All my small helper (aged 4) does is pinch the tools from behind my back when I'm not looking . . . )

It isn't the pinching I'd worry about, it's what he's doing with them I'd be more concerned about

"Dad, I've took this off, what does it do..."

Your right Greg, it's "bucket", stored over night after we loaded all Si's stuff in the truck for the move.

mirrors not busted (about the only bit that's not) just bent it to get it through the door.

Cheers Mark.

Woohoo "bucket" has found fame at last. I thought it was a good idea. Thought it would be too much of a shame to be paying rent for the place and having nothing of mine in it, so in it went.

The forks are shiny because I have covered them in gaffa tape for the winter.

And lastly "bucket" looks so good, because I had the "A team" help me rebuild it. Hang on strike that last comment.

Bucket looks so good because I helped the A team fix it. no no that's not right either,

It looks so good because Rictus aka Mark fixed it for me, whilst I waltzed around doing things like fitting the new mirrors

I shall soon be back online at home, and will get a photo on the site of buckets new home, it's even better than the photo currently shown on this thread, although Mrs Ape is not of the same opinion

The lights were groovy colours,
The band was playin' slow,
We danced just one dance together,
Then she said...
I've Gotta Go Now.

I brushed away a tear drop,
And followed her outside,
Where a long haired yob on a cycle was waiting to gi'e her a ride,
I'll never forget, that freak she went with,
Tell him he'd better leave town,
Cos as soon as me moped's front mud guard is fixed,
Gonna find the creep and put him down.
(Down Down)

When I get me moped out on the road I'm gonna ride ride ride,
When I get me moped out on the road I'm gonna ride ride ride,
When I get me moped out on the road, aint nobody gonna tell mee where to go no
When I get me moped out on the road I'm gonna ride ride ride.
(Funky Moped)

[Chorus]
Blue Funky Moped,
Blue Funky Moped,
Blue Funky Moped,
Blue Funky Moped,

Move move move move move funky moped go.
(Funky Moped)

When I'm on me moped rockin' and a sockin' I'll ride ride ride,
When I'm on me moped rockin' and a sockin' I'll ride ride ride,
When I'm on me moped rockin' and a sockin', everywhere I go the chicks are movin and a groovin,

Me mum won't let me mend it in the kitchen, I have to mend it in the garden :P

I know, I should get out more
