Autumn has struck - back riding with thermals again although it was reasonably warm (maybe 15).
Weekend work - stripped the tank of most of the original paint and have started the rust removal from the inside. using a product called Flowliner which seems to be working well. Didn't quite have a container that was large enough for the tank so it was left at an angle overnight. basically the tank that sat under the solution looks as good as new whilst the dry section has improved but still a little rusty. I'll let it dry over the week, tape the opening from the cap and petcock and reverse the position so it's all done.
Webber second in the F1, boring motogp from Indy but the Moto2 race was pretty good.
(no images because beloved has 'misplaced' our camera and I can't be arsed using the mobile phone to post dud shots)
ps Mr J.W. - it's pretty sad to post comments that compliment yourself...and your car.

August 8th 2010 happy Birthday Sis
Happy birthday Sis - hope you had a good one!
Not much to report - great plans to do the tank but found myself unable to spend money with a certain supply chain (Halfords) as the service was rude and non existent. Note to employers - surely staff should have some idea about the products they are selling or am I just crazy.
Anyhoo - took the headlight assy and dash off and gave the headstock a good clean. Will order tank products online and see how that goes.
Weather turned nice today so got a ride in which was nice. TL is ticking over nicely so large grin on mug for rest of week.
Had to post the following - Mr West (the dirty cheatin' kiwi whose bloody rugby team keeps whipping the hopeless australians) has moved to Denver and gone a little 'native'... Ford Mustang 'Bullitt' as per below. He claims to have sacrificed a pair of jeans for the look but I suspect that this is fairly typical of his style on any given day. Lovely car despite the owner I guess :)
