Wheels for Belgium Honda part1

Greetings to all Oilyracer fans. Would you believe the first post of this blog was written in September 2008. Blimey, over 11 years ago. Hope life has been treating all you good readers well. That's a long time in this digital world  and the times are still a changing. It's a wonder all that 4G radiation hasn't burned our brains out by now. There's so much of it squirting from Smart phone these days. Kids at bus stops firing it off in any direction. All over the place...big dollops of gamma ray..... blooming dangerous...'How dare you'  Indeed, gonna have to get Greta Thunberg on the case. In the meantime I'm hoping I've fully protected my bonce by wearing an 'Ecky Thump cap', I'd advise all you readers to do likewise until the little Swede convinces the world this is a crisis as big as plastic waste.

By Eck....That be a proper Yorkshireshire safety cap!

Anyway, big news is I sent for some alloy rims for the Belgium Honda. A brand new set too !!! Proper posh...Yes, the very best. A missive all the way to Bangkok. Got in touch with a chap called Lim Tian Chuan.  Sells them on ebay. His shop is called Vintage Avenue. Lim replied to my email and confirmed the sizes were correct. Ok, I'll have a pair then. What could possibly go wrong. Nothing! Only hiccup, they got caught in customs and I had to pay the import duty. Not a big amount. £25 inc administration. 

Phuff - administration. Bullsh*t.....

Spokes to order now.
In the meantime let's get these rims unwrapped and give 'um a good lookin' at over a flagon of homebrew.

Below -  Hope my Belgium Honda gets the same attention to positioning of it's fuel cock.
