rest at last
but for how long?
Thats me just in. Another day of mayhem. This morning was meant to go do work on a truck guy never showed never answered my calls. So done some to the grey hatch. Bolted the passenger seat in and 1 side of the drivers seat, need the runner still to finish it. Then I set about fitting the 280mm brakes. Fitted the drivers side then the guy shows up abotu the truck. So leave the hatch after bleeding it etc obviously so now the grey hatch has a drivers side with 280mm brakes and fresh pads and the nearside has tiddly 259's, the difference looks more than an inch! So went off to do this truck then to a scrappy to do work on a civic. Anyway thats me just in, so finally some rest for the weekend. Well tonight as the mrs is away tomorrow. Although I can see me working tomorrow maybe do the passenger side brak eson the grey 19 then who knows what. Whats your plans?

well i've been in europe for my friends' wedding. Believe it or not it's about 20 degrees cooler than Bristol was on Friday. Having a great time, i've had more food than i ever thought possible, especially all kinds of meat. Today i had duck, pheasant, beef, pork, bacon, ham, chicken, veal, and god knows what else. Truly amazing.

I had friday off to fit my powdercoated subframe to the rsi.
Didn't go well...track rod end bolt was rounded and seized. Was about to chop it off with the angle grinder then thought i'd better check the other bolts i'd be messing with first - every one rounded/seized/disintegrated with corrosion! That hacked me off so much i stuck it on ebay to get rid...ends in a few hours actually at which point i'll breathe a sigh of relief. Earlier on in the week i also picked up a new bike; ![]() 125cc powerhouse for 300quid with a years MOT/tax which is a pretty good deal IMO. I spent saturday and sunday messing about with it. Rear brake was binding slightly so have adjusted that - now goes pretty well TBH given its age. Obviously not as quikc as my 900 but more of a laugh on courtry lanes. Have ridden it into work today too. |
