spent part of the day in the garage on my first meeting with bike since last fall
- replaced carb slides with new unmolested ones (previous ones had one normal size and one smaller lift hole so going to two full-size will allow them to lift more quickly, let`s see how that goes)
- reinforced area around screw holes on rear cowling (current one, new to me last year, is already showing small cracks)
- replaced rubber dust boot on the clutch MC (radial Brembo unit from Monster 1100)
have a few more odds and ends to do (repair small crack in fairing, replace front turn signals) but it was enough for one day; besides, roads are covered with sand here, leftovers from a long and snowy winter so am in no mad rush to get out just yet.... must say I am looking forward to getting the old girl out again....

The yellow patches on the mudguard are inspired; they break up the orange paint and really add interest.
Well done!

Would you prefer it if it was Micky Mouse and the headlights where ears
I must admit though Homer Simpson might have been more appropriate but I do kind of like the skull accept it's a bit common. A cuckoo clock would be a good one to have and every hour a little birdie pops it's head out a bit like sticking your tongue out at all the others on the road. Lets face it you've got to be mad to have a streetfighter.....cuckoo cuckoo

Took Custurd out for a spin...Needed some suplies so went to Asda in Chatham...
Filled up on the way out & headed for Kent Bearings to order a set of bearings for shock linkage...
On me way there whilst observing the speed limit through the Medway tunnel I may of accidently set of a huge kill switch backfire !
Opened it up to go past a HGV to get into the left hand lane...
Is that a blue light in me mirror ?
Ooooppps !
Aproaching the roundabout the sirens go on...I turned left he turned right...Pheewwww!
Obviously there are bigger crimes than shi tting people up with a loud bang...
