After 2 weeks of planning and preparation the day was upon us,
“The Quad Day Out“
We had four quads with us on the day, these are listed below,
The plan was simple head up the hills & follow the old Greenock line of Roman wells and see if we could make it to a old cart trail which carries over the Greenock hills to a set of little old farmhouse’s just next to the Gryfe Reservoir, which is were my bro Marty, myself along with and a few friends would spend the autumn, winter months playing hooky from school.
On this day we would see how far these little babies could take us, We knew from the start that it was going to be a challenge just to get to the first Roman well.

The 2002 MotorHispania 50cc bike was picked up from somewhere near Carlisle, the bike like most, was all in boxes scattered across a workshop and back garden, so after about an hour or so collecting and sorting the parts, it was all moved to the back of the van ready for transport home…
During the restoration process ill update this page with new images and progress on how each section of the bike is coming along.
What i would like to do is start adding some videos of the basic technique’s I use through-out this project and how i went about it…
First of, the bike was stripped of all its plastics, the back end was fully removed to make some room to get into the cab, and air filter, just makes it better to work on also it gives me the chance to get the cleaning done on the swinging arm, the base plastics from all sides were all sanded down and given a primer.
the panels all came out really well, there all ready to get the first coat of some shinny blue.
once the panels all dried the area around the tank bust out in lots of ribs, very large embossed ribs, Not impressed with it at all, even though every care was taken to ensure this or other errors happen.

Sunday afternoon standing at our fantastic location on the quad track, we were watching big martin rip it up on the wee mans big quad, just as he began his run round the top corner the quad wanted to go another way from his body and caused it to flip..

This was a near miss between the Quad and bike as they race to the corner were the bike slightly moves in front of the quad causing it to catch the back wheel of the bike nearly throwing him off it..
