    Well,
    This is a bit of a confessional,
    Please please please don't let my actions dissuade any of you from your polishing or painting or pretty'ing or bespoke bracketry fabrications or in fact, any moto-vehicular tinkering of any kind

    But,
    In the end,
    I just bought a new one

    I think it's all good healthy fun ! I've just spent the afternoon buggering about with this . it's one of the old chains and sprocket sets off the Bonny , and I always did intend to clean it up and mount it on a nice decorative plinth as a bit of an objet d'art 'omage to the old girl .

    The reason for it today was to try and demonstrate the crankshaft sprocket position and chain in relation to the cam sprocket position in a conversation with a guy in the Pacific Northwest who has his Bonny engine in bits . It's a funny old world .......... and quite small ! At some point the sprockets will get a squirt of black paint and with some shiny bolts it'll get properly mounted ...... FNAR !

    'objet d'art' I like
    We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”

    Do you know dear reader... I almost polished some bit of bike once but I managed to avoid that madness.
    I only have one vice…I lie.
