Sick and tired of Sunday French Fuel Syndrome?

Monsieur will require one of *these*.

Can you ride one when you are steaming?

 

It's a pre-requisite to be pissed on it.

 

I'd have thought that pissing in it would be more helpful.

 

No drive chain! It's a con.

 

I can see a chain

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Nigel Eaton

The RFST5ASEIW would look good in the right frame.

Go on, you know you want too...

Achshirley, you'd be lucky to get public liability insurance on a boiler
for street use.

**** 'em if they can't take a joke...

And if I've got a boiler certificate (and I have), I'm covered. Amazing,
eh?

 

Traction engine owners manage it, don't they?

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember
(The Older Gentleman) saying
something like:

Not cheaply any more, they don't. It used to cost peanuts for that kind
of thing.
Insurance cos have become a bit nervous after a traction engine boiler
explosion a couple of years ago. Istr a couple of folk were killed at
some fair wiv old engines as part of the attraction.

Still, I suppose it could be pointed out that Nigel's boiler, being so
small, is only likely to kill a dog and a pigeon when it goes pop.

He doesn't have carburation problems any more. Just every other normal
Gold-Wing one now.

Nonsense. Those are all charming idiosyncrasies.

 

Interesting stuff. I never knew all that. Ta.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Bob McMinn"

There are certain fringe benefits.
