Nute

London last night for a few beers and a curry with a group of old friends. Bit of a headache this morning. Spent the train ride home resisting the temptation to add my 2pence worth to a discussion someone was having expounding the benefits of Farage/ Reform with anyone else who would listen. Now going to spend an enjoyable day in the garage

I’ve not been out at all this month, work crap, medical crap and just crap…

Happy birthday !!!

I got to the point where I couldn't walk across a room sometimes. The worst part was when it was bad it wasn't possible to move about or find a position where it didn't hurt.

I feel your pain and remember what that is like, so glad I don’t have it anymore.

I was welding a fixing to the frame of my K100 to increase the height of the front of the tank a bit and thought it smelled odd as I was welding, turns out I picked up a brass filler rod by mistake so its now brazed rather than welded. Can't be arsed to cut it off and start again ... seems secure so I'll go with it

Nice looking bike...!

You are lucky you can get them apart, lots seem to come as sealed units now.

This time of year, not unusual, but equally it could be 10degC next week

Do look nice but so it bloody should for 45K. Can't say I'm a big fan of carbon on everything tho.

1.7 degrees C in my garage .... Fired up the heater and will go back out there in 20 mins

I had the external bits of my BMW engine cerakoted, it looks really good. It was a bit of a trial to find someone to do it who didn't want an arm and a leg & it all needed a really good clean afterward. Have to wait and see how durable it is.

I have a Stihl brush cutter which has always been a bastard to start and run, even after going back to the dealer and them fiddling with it. I got a carb from Aliexpress for less than a fiver, swapped it out and its run brilliantly ever since.

Tank cap looks good ... & so does the rest of the bike!

It’s not a real one sadly, but it is great fun. The best way of turning petrol into noise when the weather is good !
