Next up

There's a bike under there, honest...

At the end of the tunnel

There was light...
Now just to sort the horn and the other useful fripperies.

Pulling my finger out

Thanks to issue 10 of Sideburn hitting the mat, I've perked up and got on with SB#3.
It was another day of doing all the little jobs, the ones that you don't really see. Still, the bike has gone away for the day and I have that feeling of satisfaction, the oily black nails and cut hands that only a day of fettling can provide.

SB#4?

Next in line?

A weekend wasted

Is never a wasted weekend. Or at least that's how the saying goes.

The original plan was that I was taking the g/f up to Lake Windermere for her to compete in a swimming race. Her race was postponed due to algae, so I was set then to head over to Spalding for the Kustom Kulture weekend, until the bends and tube from OJZ arrived. With the weather looking promising I set to doing a job I'd been putting off for a while; making the exhaust system for the DR.

2 days later, and I've got a finished system. Chuffed.

Coming together

Busy day today. After finishing off the frame brackets yesterday and painting the frame it was assembly time. First off swingarm, shock (with new spring), forks and wheels

Then add the bodywork to see how it sits

Then get the engine in

Then have a feeling of satisfaction

Just waiting on some spacers for the wheels, and exhaust flanges so I can build the exhaust system. After that it's all pretty easy.
