I've sent a PM to Greg. Levitating bikes is like something from a horror movie. I have some memories of a song about the six o'clock news called "Horror Movies". Would the singers of that be something you could hang it off?
I should have looked for engineering solutions before I thought of digital ones, or witchcraft.
Witchcraft and magic sound like so much fun though
In researching Greg's cryptic clue of the silver platter of northern NSW mushrooms, I was surprised to find that Greg's very pretty red-with-white spots mushrooms appeared at the top in a google image search for "magic mushrooms". I'm pretty sure that when I was a kid, "magic" mushrooms didn't look like that, and were called "gold tops"
Oh yes. Thanks Mark for bringing on a (very pleasant) attack of Tom Jones' syndrome tonight

Hi Everyone,
Just sharing some photos of my latest acquisition, the frame number is not what I expected, maybe I am reading it Wrong?
My question is for Graham and other

Fanatics:
What have I got in my Garden?

Late-ish model (post-'76) Sherpa. eg M159/183/191? But there must be a catch with the VIN. Perhaps an after-siesta slip-up? Or is it the rare late model 175 ?

Hi Everyone,
So am I to conclude that Bultaco Fanatics can not see past a

? Whereas the

T___Y fanatic can see clearly past and is closest yet to answering the Question!

Greg,
You constantly amaze me with the complexity of your questions.
You have amazed me this time that you do not know what is growing in your own garden and have taken the unusual step of asking trials motorcycle enthusiasts to identify these plants in your garden. Wouldn't you be better of on a gardening site?
I would have thought that Bully Fanatic would have given you an answer by now being the son of a market garden farmer. But.
I have enlisted the help of my better half in identifying the plants in your garden. She found it difficult to see the plants clearly with the poor photography. But she thought the plants were from the onion family - maybe challottes.
There were more than one sort of weeds in the photo. Some were plant weeds but there was another type of weed. Weeds are often imported from another country, tend to be where they are not wanted by anyone and are short lived. Sounds like Bultaco to me.
Regards,
TerrY

All a bit cryptic for me
brake is on the proper side
R for 238 ? B for bastidor so I'd guess M198 so frame number RB198etc
