was that 'Soap"

Getting the old girl fitted with a set of dunlop roadsmarts tomorrow, although it'll be a while before they get used.
So much id like to have done, nitron shocker, braided lines, full fairing, seems endless.

Saddle Soap ?...

Nah ya git is was a fork oil level checker, hand made by his fairy hands...

all oily stuff again. chokes sorted(hopefully) and water pump pulled apart for new seals..

Today I protected the bike a better. I don't have the luxury of a man cave unfortunately.
A couple of the fellas saw my post looking for a second hand bike shelter thing on Facebook...

Well it was fruitful. Buying them new it's hard to go below 120 quid but I picked this up for 40!

Yes it's dirty but it's definitely doing the job. I spent some time in there away from the pissing rain pegging it down and to be honest it felt nice!



Now I have somewhere to go when the wife gets annoyed at me.

Erm...no. Now your wife has somewhere to go when she's annoyed at you.

You'd need yer tools, the TV, the fridge with the beer, bike mags and there's simply no room in there for all that, along with yer bike.

Whilst all she needs, is a cup of tea and a Hello magazine, and she's good for at least 3 hours.

It's a lot easier and quicker her moving in there than it is you...






...and I wonder why I'm single.....

Eyup Rob, any chance theres another one going for sale, im in the same boat as you storage wise, I use the side of the house and use three bike covers.

Sorry redpig. I got quite lucky. He just had an old.one in the garage not being used and happened to see my post! Try posting a wanted ad on Facebook if you have it!

i have one of those bike barns at my nans, dam thing has got a tear in it now, but i used a special cleaner, and then coated it in a special protecting solution, it worked well, but then i got lazy and didn't clean it foe some time, lesson being, keep it clean.....
as for my bike, i've done nothing.
but i did finish painting the forks on my friends bike, they came up really well, i but the front end back together yeasterday. only shame being the front wheel is in a right state, never seen such a scabby wheel, really lets the bike down. not sure i can be arsed to rub it down and spray it....
i probablt will tho, just not yet





oh and last sunday the sun was shiny even tho it was a bit chilly, so i headed to the coast, here's a few pics to make you guys in the uk jealous.....

Thosw forks turned out well. Need to paint my own. They're not too bad but thinking I'd prefer the bottoms black...all in due course.
