Post by Tarmac Tyrant »

Hi all.been a bit busy as of latei have a baby girl to thank for that.im happy though as all is well.she enjoys listening to o board laps with carlos checa,well,more like she doesnt have a choice:-)

Anyway....i finally rebuilt the main suspension swivel on the swingarm.it was completely seized solid with rust.frustrating.but the bike was in about 100 pieces,stored badly.so new bearings seals and collar.i drilled and tapped all thepivots that i could for grease nipples.at least i can lubricate them every so often.i wanted to put the wheels on this weekend but thats not going to happen.im too busy,and ive had an idea with the swingarm,ill want to weld two internally threaded aluminium rods to the swingarm to accept swingarm spools.this will suit my rear paddock stands hooks.

So will be few days before i get a rolling chassis going.but whats the rush eh;-)
my names not on the guset list?.......i often go by my maiden name..nothing to be embarrassed about.....

Like lloydie said, no rush now, looks like we missed summer. And having a baby will over write any plans you might put in place, they make themselves priority 1 :lol:
