Garelli Monza Road test
At last I have put together a (rather shaky) 'Road Test' of my Classic 1970 Garelli Monza!
I have owned this bike since 1977, when I used it for a couple of years. I kept it in my garage in a very dilapidated state until 2005, when my Dad started the cosmetic restoration works. in the last few years I have rebuilt the engine with new main bearings and seals. Some parts have been replaced, but basically she's mostly original.
Although the restoration is still not fully complete, she now runs as well as she did all those years ago, and has been road worthy for the last year or so. I have taken her to a few Classic Vehicle shows as it's something quite unique these days and worth showing.
Now at 53, I still enjoy riding what was made as a 16 year old's bike. It's still a fun machine more than 44 years after it was built!
Enjoy :-)

How many men does it take to float a Yacht
มุมมอง 10310 ปีที่แล้ว
In the Autumn the Eling yacht club takes out 4-6 yachts to scrape the barnacles from their bottoms, and carry out essential maintenance over the winter months. In the Spring they put them back in the water. On Saturday 15 March, early in the morning I caught the last 2 Yachts being put back in the water. I have sped up most of the footage because it's like watching paint dry after a few minutes...
How's this for a cracked bell

While on a family Holiday in France in 2001, we visited this pretty little city and were treated to this horrible sounding clock chime - hardly fitting for this glorious Cathedral.
The Clay Bells of Liss
มุมมอง 6K10 ปีที่แล้ว
1984 (Is it really 30 years). The Liss Campanile were the first ring of ceramic bells in the world. They replaced what was the first ever ring of Galvanised Buckets - but not quite the last! In those days 'Peals' were not accepted by 'The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers'. As a response we were fortunate to acquire the services of Colin & Patrick Reid from Newbury to put together a short ...
Floods 2014
มุมมอง 34010 ปีที่แล้ว
What with all the terrible flooding recently, I thought it time that I re-visited Droxford, a place my ex wife and I dragged our kids to one Christmas eve over a decade ago - when we had been experiencing similar weather. Only, this time things were a lot worse! Then I had to check out the state of things in nearby Hambledon where they have suffered flooding for several weeks already.
It's Christmas Eve and we're looking at floods!
มุมมอง 8010 ปีที่แล้ว
Christmas Eve 2000. We just had to drag the kids out from their computer games for a breath of fresh air, and to witness something that thankfully doesn't happen that often... we did however witness only the nicer side of flooding - it seems very poignant with all these terrible floods around at the moment. My kids remember that Christmas eve above all others... I knew they would, and always wi...

The Jack & Jill House Campanile, as it was in early 2000. Having been origionally hung using the fittings rescued from Paul Schofield's 'Alverstoke Campanile'. The bells are a collection of odds and ends I managed to tune into a pretty decent octave. These were subsequently re-hung 18 month later, with new Headstocks & Wheels, and the old (Alverstoke Campanile) fittings were donated to Ben Care...

Eling Peal 1 8 13
มุมมอง 33211 ปีที่แล้ว
The first Peal to be rung at Eling for many years, to the memory to John S Hopwood who learned to ring at Eling in the 1960's. On this beautiful afternoon it was a pleasure to listen to this Peal. I couldn't resist filming the closing moments for posterity sake... I only wish our local band at Eling could ring Bristol this well!
