cheeky git..............
twas rather embarrassing tho....
it did chip some paint and seen as i'd spent £450 on a new paint job, that had been finished a few weeks earlier, I was not a happy bunny

Swing arm off and treated to a thorough clean. Exhausts back on. Honda carbon hugger fitted. Black painted rads and oil cooler back on. Airbox and tank back on. She's starting to look like a bike again.

To be fair, it took me the whole weekend.

WOOHOO

Well done mate

looking good mate, you might want to attack the rusty bar on the bottom of the rear subframe, not that you can see it on a daily basis.....

remind me when your mot runs out mate, then i'll know it's time to redo mine.....

Full marks with the MOT Agent P!

Ain't even seen my baby today and didn't exactly do anything to her yesterday, but did have a short morning blat to buy her a present off Gum Tree. I went for an Oxford tank bag but then he produced a Caberg flip top helmet with built in sun visor that fits perfectly (despite only being large and the XL Nitro helmet I already had giving me a headache after 30-40 mins or so). £70 for the pair. Think I've got pretty much all the gear I need now except leather trousers. He did have full racing leathers too but my legs were too skinny and his wife wanted him to keep them despite him having given up riding. I didn't ask why...

sounds like a real bargain you got there mike....
removed the front forks ready to send to roger, I had them of in 15mins, not bad going for spanner wielding buffoon like me, it's taken me longer to get a ladies bra off in the past.....

must give thanks to carl for his expertise rubbing off on me....
oh and i'm starting to get used to the abba stand lift arm, makes life so easy.....

ok so not 'today', but had a long weekend buzzing round the Isle of Man

Fantastic weather the whole time too, just what I needed.

great photo

Blue sky
Blue sea
Blue Bike

only kidding................not

I bet the locals loved the sound of those arrow's can's blatting around the island.....

The island is not too far from England then. Waht's all the fuss with ferry's. One could swim that.

Great pic with the mini lighthouse.

(:-})

Sorry but I have to ask.

Why were you wearing a bra Marty.

Perhaps Al can give you some tips on removal...
