Covid19 (Phuff...again), The Great Reset (can't stop it), Crackxit & a BSA rear sprocket

Anyone out there? Albert calling from base...are you receiving? .....over....Vintafake news update transmitting...over......

Ah good ya there, A.C. here. Still in Covid19 lockdown, but  keeping the homefires burning in 'The Old Sidevalve Bar'. Staying out of mutant E484K's way. Latest nasty variant with Brazilian and South African overtones. Yes, all that waxing with a bit of added Boerewors wrapped in a nasty genome. One day my dear readers in the far distant future it may be possible that homebrew beers could once again be shared with chums.   Maybe we can all partaking in a trip through country lanes on or in vintage road machines. What about a longer road trip to Skirtland? Nah, that ain't gonna happen. Krankie Sturgeon (more toxid than Covid19) still stirring the proverbial shi#. That's why I've raised the flag....The flag of my 'Shire'.  Flying on your screen now...."Eyes right... Boy Scout salute and play Bugle Reveille" Bah ! Baaah !!! I've gone independant without a referendum.  Aye, all on mi own. I've had a 'Crackxit'.  Asked permission from nobody. The flag? Proper genuine design for the western 'Shire'.

Extra news - This week gone, my number was drawn out'a hat by the big government computor. Step forward Albert we have a small portion of Aztra-Zeneca for ya. So, outcome of accepting that is I've now got added chimpanzee ChAdOx1. It's in mi blood.....Shi# no going back.......Side effects??


 Got me a rear sprocket for 'Lovely Maroon' the BSA that time forgot. UK supplier but as soon as I unwrapped the outer packaging I thought 'aye aye' recognise that there design. Origin 'India'. Let's have a closer look....Under the paint was an almost undetectable defect which had undergone a high quality repair before leaving the factory. It's on the back so hey ho, I'll live with it. 

 Safe to say BSA B31's are not known for light weight, and on this 'every part must weigh a ton' requirement the sprocket was up to OE standard. Tipping the scales at 1.6kg.

 
 
A sprocket is a sprocket, but this is an ugly monster. A more sporty look could possibly be achieved by stripping the 'only for old duffers' black paint and then treating it to a session under the pillar drill. Yes, old skool speed holes coming up.


The holes weighed 200gms...followed by 3 x coats of Polyurethane 1x pack and looking more like it.

Covid19, The Great Reset & BSA nuts.

Uncle Albert here, Locked down on-off-on-off-on for nearly a year, but have no fear my mind and body still function like a free spirit.  At this very moment the written word is firing from my fingers tips like charges of plasma surging to earth...  Forcing megabyte after megabyte down the optical fibres and into the big motherboards of the Google Matrix. I'm typing like a crazy man!!!! Time is of the essence.... Gotta to get mi messages out into earths orbit.  Not only are we living a Covid nightmare but unbeknown to the McDonald Park 'n' Order Chickin' Dipper Club the 'Great Rest' is happening on the quiet. Yep, under the radar on the daily news but life will never be as we knew it Jim.  The thought that possibly I can effect the 'Great Reset' has not been lost on me..... the knowledge passed to me by the elders must go to others via the matrix. Don't fight the reset, go under the wire instead. Clever hey? An ethernet umbilical cord will feed the younger generation Vintafake facts of life and the desire to be morally upstanding and hard working. It could take some time but before they know it...Bang! Too late...A mind meld by stealth.!!!! Once known it's always known. Even China will not escape the matrix upload.......They are feeding on it now.......via G5 Samsung clone phones and guided sight seeing trips around York and Bourton-on-the-water. Best bit no antibodies available....Sorry, The Great Reset is on it's way with added Vintafake sprinkles, and a '99' stuck out the top to suck later.

 What's happening in the world of 'Vintafaking' since your last post Albert? You may well ask.!!! All entertainment has been self generated in 'The Old Sidevalve Bar'. Which is the safest place to be, for outside in the wild townships of the 'Shires' Covid19 mutant variants are now running amok. This weeks latest variant is from Brazil. 6 x cases have been detected and would you believe one has escaped....!! Through customs without filling in paperwork.....Fookin' dooks.  Only in Blighty!! Like the boarder control security staff were having a breaktime vanilla slice just at that very moment? 

'Lovely Maroon' The BSA that time forgot was treated to a special gift a couple of days ago.. Purchased on the Bay of E genuine old stock nuts to hold the rear sprocket. Part No 42-6327.Plenty about but mainly steel copy stuff from India. These are the real deal though, made of brass and best of all as they were the last 4 remaining the seller shipped them in the original packet. Wow.....proper nice. 

Keep the faith.... Be part of  'The Great Reset' and don't be afraid of the AstraZeneca.

Brew o'clock.....time I lifted a flagon....Cheers! and may the #beerfairy keep stocking your fridge.
