      Been a while since being on this site.

      Am still very interested in all things mechanical especially speed record machines.

      Health has been an issue but still in my workshop on full size creations.

      My love has always been on motorcycle top speed machines.

      A friend who used to see me when he was a lad at Elvington speed record attempts is now another record holder.

      At an eighth mile standing start he has done over 180 mph terminal speed with his steam rocket bike

      Just a kettle with two De-Laval steam nozzles  all certified materials and welding.

      Hopefully if time allows he will be at Melbourne Raceway this coming week end.

      My speed machine club has a strong contingent of young lads and lasses riding motorcycle and junior cars.

      Next week BBC have hired Elvington for two days for young ones to break junior records its not open to the public they already have been interviewed on various TV channels when riding a sidecar junior machine.

      As a bit late will call it a day and get my beauty sleep ( I need it).

      My piston engine flash steam motorcycle is well under way more on that later.

          Great to see you back.

          I trust the kettle has been pressure tested.
