Yes, my little workshop is my little refuge - I don't have to tell you how much I enjoyed the long winter evenings in company with my pet camel . And the cold beer was just outside the window :wink2sirch345 wrote:Nice job VTRDenmark
I too know what you mean about polishing becoming addictive
I also admired your heated garage or workshop

Re: VTRDenmark's Yellow ride
Right, that's it!
Forks are off, and while I'm changing the oil I'm having a go at this polishing lark- that is, if the old hammer drill clamped in a vice holds out
(it's getting a bit hot- probably because the rag I've wrapped round it to hold it firmly is blocking the air holes, now I come to think of it).
I'm going to lacquer a clear coat over the lower leg once it's done, as I ride every day, and can't be bothered to polish after every ride.
Piccy's once done.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
