May 9th 2010 - happy Mums Day in Oz and C.G has a new toy

If a motorcycle fails to start - does a fairy die? Poor f...g fairies - they'll be farkin' extinct soon due to my complete lack of mechanical nous.

Pulled off sprocket cover and stripped away a veritable truckload of black tar like substance which I assume was oil,chain wax and road dirt but could well have been the start of a new agrarian society as there was so much... chain does now roll a little more easily but as it's a rusted piece of shite the effect is not huge.

Cleaned and polished the sprocket cover and engine cases on the left side so that is mostly done.

have pulled a manual off the interweb in pdf form so will print the trouble shooting section and start at the top. from memory cleaning the tank was first so I'll need to get some turps and ball bearings to do that next week although I have a pretty heavy schedule on for other stuff. God forbid the sun comes out and I get a chance to ride a motorcycle as opposed to sitting in a shed swearing at inanimate objects...

Reds lost again thus destroying any hope I hold for rugby, this also unfortunately means my high minded email and blog rantings will come back to haunt me in the form of a number of abusive emails from arse clowns Tah's supporters....if any are intelligent or at least humorous I'll load them up here but i suspect we'll be pretty safe.

Brother in law has a new CBR600RR back in the land of Oz so congrats on the new arrival and if I get a piccie from the lucky bastard ;) I'll post it up.

Good to see Mark Webber (the DNF specialist of old) post a win in the F1 and especially nice to see Hamilton (or twat as I refer to him) crash on the last lap..
