Not much - about 15 minutes polishing before kids demands took over. engine case has come up ok (see piccies below) but more work to go.

Thanks for the kind messages and Congrats to Andrea & Chris !! Spoke to Dean over the weekend and he passed on your good news. Obviously intimidated by having the mighty Christopher reading the blog especially as I hear his bikes have been featured in Oz custom mags!! motivation to try harder there.....

Shall buy battery this week and get things back on track.

Hit a sweltering 11 degrees today so tore it up on the TL - managed a knee down scrape so must be doing ok.

Mighty Reds win in SA which is insane and the Tah blouses gave it up for the Crusaders like the big wee girls they are so all is right in the world.

MotoGp tonight - am tres excited!!

have a good one!

Noooooooooooo....
the madness begins, although I promised myself I wouldn't - I've started polishing/cleaning the engine cases. Looks much cleaner but now I'll have to do the whole stinkin' thing meaning that I am screwed (but in a nice way). There's something quite relaxing about polishing metal and seeing grime come away. I'll regret it in the long run as it gets more and more fiddly but what the hey. It's not like the pommie weather won't give me plenty of chances to spend quality time indoors....

Still trying to find a cheapo battery but no joy - may have to bite the bullet and pay full price.

Ride on the TL today - tres bon although bloody cold.

Bloody Tahs on top and Qld lost - bugger.

again - no progress.
am looking at a battery on ebay as I can't be arsed paying full price for a new one.
plus the sun actually shined and was a balmy 6 degrees so took the other beast out for a ride. First ride in 4 months.... someone remind me why I live here again ;)
