What Made Me Smile today ...........................????

Not finding any holes! First time this week (Actually I found one but I'm chossing to ignore it).

Also finishing prepping the Mini for it's new interior after welding plus a healthy dose of sound proofing.
Not I just have to figure out how to get the seats to fit...

 

The wife getting her new personalised credit/debit card thing today then promptly losing it in the house! A little while later and the living room turned upside down it is found! harah! Where was it? I hear you ask...Picked up with the junk mail and chucked in the bin!

 

won my first Xmas Frock off ebay - snuck in the last 30 seconds yaaay!! prob wont fit -- but at least I *won* it !

 

Seeing my new bike (gs500) ...

 

Pix please Darkzy?

 

il take some this morning, was a bit dark last night when we got back , 11pm lol. Gonna take plenty of before pics, then will strip the bike down to frame, blast the frame/swingarm and respray. so far ive identified it needs new fork seals, new batt, bloody good service and the front caliper is sticky so will have that apart and sorted. Just waiting for kelv (darkzy) to make a decision on paint colour lol.

 

Hope he,s gonna do most of the work?

 

, erm no. lol if i was to leave it to him it would never get done or would be bodged. he still hasnt sorted his rs50 engine out yet. I'l be doing the spraying, and anything relating to stopping and going, just to make sure its working fine. any sanding is his job though .

 

New petrol tank ... but apart from that a few electrics bits ... service.. paint etc ... (and everything deano mentioned) sorted will upload photo's

 

someone on a black 06 plate cbf1000 riding past me on the a21 then coming back to see if i was ok as i was on the side of the road on the a21

 

... Taking 5 mins out this morning to watch the Sun rise behind Tower Bridge

 

The only problem with London is you have to avoid running over peasants rather than pheasants. There seems to be a lot of them around St Pauls at the moment. Must be peasant rutting season.

 

I've got a driving licence! It's got my name on it and everything.! Even says I can ride a bike.

Only been trying to get it out of DVLA since 6th June! Three attempts, various complaints etc. etc.

 

Harah! Time for the champers!

 

Bought the 10 plate Hornet on Saturday for quite a keen price because it was unloved. Had been used last winter, yet had never seen soap and water in it's entire life (or chain oil). The one bit that really stood out was the rear brake pedal which probably had poor plating and was covered in surface rust. It will clean up with Autosol, but because the plating is now potmarked I looked on eBay on Sunday, and there was a sparkling unblemished pedal with 2 hours left on the auction. Bid away and got it for £20. Not bad to replace the one bit that couldn't be sorted with a good wash and a dose of lube in it's private places.

The bike even has solid gold downpipes
