Yeh I expect you have more knowledge of arseholes than Clits.

There’s already an ugly knob on the seat.

It’s flouncing time.

Grab your tin helmets everyone

I have gone and bought a hairdressers car...

Touring? If only there was a section for that. Day ride? If only there was a section for that. Rally? If only there was a section for that.

Out and about in a balmy 11c. Pleasant 40 miles or so.

The sun just came out! .......it's gone back behind the clouds now. Going to have a look at a non running Lexmoto Vixen (to tinker with)......it is free to collect....it is located only 5 miles from here..... getting it here back could be a slight problem though....

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.

Valve check done on Saturday, all within spec. Did at my mates workshop with him watching over. He is much better qualified than me plus has all the tools. Anyway took no photos, he is keen on privacy. I didn’t really care, also looks to me like they were checked at the last service but of course a guess. Carbs off and on again to day, I neglected to fit new fuel lines after doing them. A mistake that is fixed now. Got fitting the carbs off to a fine art although it took some swearing to learn it. Got some electrickery to sort, new indicators, heated grips, voltmeter, usb charging and stuff to sort than I should be on the road.

https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/kawasaki/kawasaki_gpz305.htm I remember the belts being a known issue of the GPz305's. That was many years ago though. I know you can get belt kits for many various bikes now. My only experience is helping my mate set such a kit up on his Royal Enfield 650. I didn't like the amount of tension he had to set it at. Just a gut feeling but I wouldn't run a chain tight like that. His money his choice, I didn't mind as he was the guy who gave me the xSystem Scottoiler that is now on my Hornet.

How many years ago was that Clive ...year and mileage ? I can't fantom snapping a belt with a 300cc , unless it was the earlier years when they first came out....and the belts weren't has good I guess...

I always heard good things about the GPZ 305.....1 of the few small bore belt drive bikes...

https://www.china-parts.co.uk/ I used i used these peeps when i used to fix the school lads bikes for them..scoots and bikes. Lots of carbs BLR'ed and coils some switch gear and ecu's...main faults..Engines seem ok, like all small motors they need oil cahnges at about 800miles cycles..Only ones i had that would have costalot were some of the scooters...Bin them chassis on some rot. Lyn.

You could always MoT it and sell it sometime down the road. Fun project nonetheless.

My old XS 750. The cat had the right idea. This was 40 years ago.

PPS: plus it will also make the young Lady happy.

Thanks, HH the soft lad cried when he saw it. Apparently he thinks it looks better than when he bought it. I don't know as it has always looked like a death trap to me but he had the bike long before he met Shadow. All I can say is that I am glad he liked his birthday present and I enjoyed playing bikes doing it. Reminds me of being a kid and having to make stuff good myself as paying someone was out of the question.

Let's not ...........

Well this morning had a blood draw ....they nearly took a half pin out...like 10 vilds....and we had a ice fog overnight..kinda rare for this time of year...it coat the trees nicely...

Intimate knowledge so they say.

Less gay than busa’s puff mobile.

Miata.

Good work Saul. He should be chuffed. .

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.

By the way there was a beautiful receptionist...her name is Carole...A strawberry blonde...fell in love for at least 10 minutes...lol Don't know what the Doc is looking for ....with that amount of blood drawn...I figure they are trying to clone me ...or trying to figure out why Im so good looking for a 60 years-old...lol.

Every time you post that thing ...it reminds me of Pete....stop copying his jokes...lol....it even looks like Pete...lol.

Bet your best friend is very appreciative.

It was a typo...big fingers...lol.

A Renault clit 1.2 turbo...never heard of such a thing...

Renault Clio 1.2 turbo.

Cheers. He is, but if it were my bike I would have taken much longer over the job, looks good from a few feet away but not so much up close. But you know teenagers they want everything right now. He doesn't understand why I am taking my time over the Sprint but I want it right so I feel it's good. Again my problem I suppose.

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.

You taught him to ride.

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

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.
