November 28th 2010 otherwise known as brass monkeys day

bloody hell - sub zero temps mean nada trips to garage.

have finished tank so at least that is done. moving on to front brake repair, replace and repaint, then jump into the engine (or try and find a cheap mechanic to do it for me).

Hit -2 & snow yesterday so absolutely no chance of me taking the other bike out although today was 'warmer' and clear skies at about 3 degrees. have abandoned all hope of riding again until spring whenever the hell that is is the godforsaken hellhole they call England.

found a couple of cool headlight brackets so may start getting the old one off in readiness for eventual new lights.

less said about the cricket the better.

Some progress - tank is now 3/4's done. Started polishing and cleaning the final bits of paint off. I'm planning to leave it a bit rough to add to the feel of the bike. Images posted below.

Still one side to do plus a final wash of the inside to complete. Then hopefully on to other items.
