Aug 30th 2010

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.
