Visited my friend who is a mechanic for a coffee today, looking nicely old school today

What the cloud of chlorine gas....

Dog ate the phone?

You should text him, tell him he is a pussy.

You meant.... He is?

Is he?

Well after another Atmospheric River hit the PNW in the last 3 days...I'm sure grateful I moved to the east side of the state. We've gotten some much needed rain, but the west side is still swimming.... Hwy 18 near Otis OR... Tillamook OR near the coast....

I am not sure you can be that, bit like saying you are half gay

Ow! and wear rubber gloves to stop grease from fingers *ucking up your hard work.

I use coolblack, try engineering tool firm. Every thing must be clean,,i sand/grit blast and use brake cleaner to de-grease ..cover the parts in Cool black and leave over night. Once black enough remove and wash in deionised water drop in clean oil for and hour or so..Leave to drip dry, buff up. Or i used to use to do Ali stuff to but that used very nasty chemicals that could and WOULD burn you, so i gave it all away. But not difficult to do at home. As long as you a safe place to do away from dickheads. Lyn.

Marcel after changing his name to @Vamana Gupta (which is Hindi for “secret dwarf” btw) is very close to his annual flounce, I would say it was a play for TOTY except I have been dealing with the unstable twat for too long and can see him teetering on the edge of the precipice. You are all free to give him a push.

I have been using Petes templates from day one.

Nobody has nominated you, though. Which definitely gives you the title of sad twat.

I've not heard a peep out of him

Nice work @Saul....lookin' better all the time.

Had a few more hours playing Sprints today either side of a two hour Zoom meeting with a Psychologist for one of the brood. TBH tinkering with the Sprint is doing a good job of keeping me happy. I started off tidying up the bodywork and painting the mirrors, also swapped the Kawasaki mirror for a Triumph one. You would probably never notice that the mirror was Kawasaki but I knew so it had to go While that was drying I stripped the dash and decided to paint that as well Looking a bit tired to me so need freshening up. Then moved on to replace the rear brake light switch and wire it in as I couldn’t find a Triumph replacement. Also replaced the cheapie chonky indicators with some more but this time with smoked lenses. I thought about getting some original Triumph indicators but they were £80 and butt ugly. I actually quit like the look of the smoked out ones. Took a surprisingly long time but I had to de-bodge the wiring and get busy with the dielectric grease. Also got the old faded beat up clocks off and got some nicer replacements, don’t care about the mileage change, no intention of selling and if I was ever to do so it would go with both sets. Had this come in the post, don’t know if I will use it but I am seriously tempted. I saw one with a black plate the other day and I thought it looked cool but don’t know if I want to risk getting stopped which is pretty unlikely given where I live. Tomorrow should get it all back together. I have to sort the tickover out then I can do some getting to know it rides.

Why? It's not valentine's day.

Made some progress today. Got the silencers back on and fitted a new rear brake switch. Got a fair bit of cleaning done and started stripping the from fairing. I have a new screen to fit, plus I want to paint the mirrors and replace the Kawasaki mirror that is fitted with a Triumph one. Also fitted LED bulbs to the Headlights, I have ordered some LED side light bulbs as I didn’t have the right ones.

Id have to say @Sir Fallsalot for also flouncing... theres my nomination

4' on the left.

He has crocs as well, he is trying to be @Marcel.
