Good work Saul. He should be chuffed. .

Got the Kwacker death trap back together. The repaired panel is looking ok but my eye is drawn to the imperfections. The mirrors look odd but work pretty well so I suppose that again is my problem. You can tell this bike has been down several times as there are multiple broken fairing mounts and alignment issues. Got it all secure but had to use a few discrete cable ties where mounts used to be. Suppose I need to be less critical as HH is chuffed to bits and out with my Mrs and Shadow for a birthday lunch. Looks better from some angles than others but is an improvement from where we started and does have it’s full compliment of indicators. For contrast this is the side I haven’t touched. I would like to give it a good clean but will wait for the new paint to cure first.

Was looking on Marketplace, noticed a car that I could be interested in having a look at, did a MOT check and noticed that I had searched this car before, so looked through Marketplace listing and the one I previously looked at is still advertised on there, same reg, same colour, same MOT expiry date, the new listing is in Doncaster, the other is in York..........do you think this is dodgy.

You taught him to ride.

I think he is just a Jonah. He's been off on Ice and Gravel and was knocked off by a DPD van. He's ok on the bike really, nowhere near as competent as Shadow but ok. His main problem is that he doesn't plan ahead or allow for road conditions. Hopefully he will learn.

Whats causing the spills is it just going in to corners too hot or not reading the roads far enough ahead or just general dicking around?

Cheers, I'm sure it will look okay when it is on the bike. HH last tumble shook him up so I'm hoping he will stay upright for awhile now.

Not bad at all that mate, hopefully it will stay like that and he'll learn that he should be keeping the seat facing the sky

He has thanked me several times. . He is a good lad. I wouldn’t being doing it else. Finished, not perfect but better than it was, much better than the other side. Which I will do at some point. Needs Fork seals first.

Sure hope How High @ least shows some appreciation for all your hard work....

There is a heater in there, twas 9 degrees here but around 25 in the tent thing. Perfect to spray the fairing panel. It's up the shed drying now, I'll see the results in the morning.

Good idea. Hope it's warmer than here, 2 deg.

Tried out my new paint booth.

For the busa

Just made a. Video on a section of trail....was riding one handed and fell off the trail and took a nose dive...no broken bones ...ill load it to YouTube when I get home...

Clear blue skies here this morning...supposed to make it into the 50'sf today... Got some drafting to do....should have that done by lunchtime....then it's off for a Ride!

Well, between @Vamana Gupta and @YamaHead to help you out, I´m pretty sure you´ll turn this into a success story. I'll try to have a picture to submit in February.

Cheap as chips really I think I paid £11 for mine. I have since bought another box of staples for £7 but worth it for the occasional time you might actually need it. First go at filling, just given it a dust coat of paint when that flashes off there are some spots that will need some fine knife filler but I am not going for perfection only tidy. I am sure you could get it perfect with enough time and effort. Not worth it in this instance.

To nice out...going for a little atv ride....

Been looking at those staple guns myself.

Agree...to many rules in general....

Amature...lol. I know how...

Good idea the hot staple gun

Yebbut, I don't know how to do a poll........

Well it’s How High’s 19th birthday tomorrow so I have bought him some new mirrors and am fixing the crash damage on the right hand side of the bike best I can. I have got a spare indicator and in the process of patching up the fairing. I recently bought a hot stapler to stick the fairing back together. Works surprisingly well, much better than I thought it would. Still gotta patch two holes and fill the cracks but I am hoping it will look presentable from 10 feet once I have painted it satin black. Holes filled with fibreglass. Hideous mirrors, but it is what he wanted.
