That paint job looks stunning Mac.

Combining blue and yellow, what's not to like?

Nice one Mac, the colour scheme goes really well with the bike

Got the front wheel back from Maidstone Motoliner, to job they have done. Swapped the front tyre back over and refitted to bike. I also slackened off the for clamps and gave it a good bounce to make sure it was all sitting straight after the pothole impact.

Started packing the camping gear and getting ready for Fridays run up to the homeland

Thankfully it's more a purple than blugh, sorry I mean blue, the yellow I can live with...just.

Got to find something to hide that gash ''dream machine racepaint'' decal, not so sure that would have been on the original race bike...

It's fast enough for me thank you very much.

Whilst it looks blue in the pic's it's more of a purple in the flesh...(ffner ffner )

So it wont fall into the slow blue group that's for sure...

I'll start me own colour category...erm...Fast PWRSFTY...(fast purple with red stripe fading to yellow)

Looking good Mac.

Today I found a new home for mine


Me and the missus are moving over the next few days, now I have room to build my own workshop and storage space. Not massive but I have 16ft x 6ft to play with

Your very own CKCave...until the freezer gets put in there, followed by the washer & dryer...Oh & we cant possible leave this new garden furniture out side over the winter...

Im building a separate space at the back of it for stuff like that. Will shrink the cave a bit but I will still have a good 10ft to have as my own, not massive but enough for the bike, work bench with bench grinder, pillar drill and vice. Not sure when I will have it constructed, would like to have it by winter so I can strip the bike, fix the small oil weeps and get it clean and ready for next summer. But we shall wait and see.

If anyone knows/hears of any large sheds going cheap let me know. Even if I have to butcher it to fit I don't mind. If the panels come cheap its easy to sort

Sign yourself up on your local ''freecycle'' site, you can post wanted adds on there & people give you stuff for free !

If your willing to go & take it down & move it someone will have something they want rid of...worth a try for a couple of e-mails to & fro...

I got a pillar drill FOC a couple of years ago !

Good shout Mac I'll give it a try

Parked it outside a Triumph dealer whilst taking these for a little spin:



Then rode around Wales for 6 hours to remind myself that the twin is where the useable fun is at

chris if your looking for an old shed, have a word with mac, he has 4,25 sheds, maybe you could buy one off of him.....
