Long nights



Took a trip on the Tenere from home to the Isle of Arran and back. 869 miles in 56hours. Not record breaking but fun to do. The pervert in me wants to build a sidecar for it though. 
I have issues.

Camped up

On the coast road


Leaving Arran from Lochranza


Waiting for the ferry onto Isle of Bute

And there was rejoicing


More SB#3 progress. 
Joy camshaft #209


Lovely letters...


So many hoses though-


Polished rocker just shining through-




Pick a carb, any carb...

Left to right then- Mikuni TM38, Mikuni TM38D, Keihin FCR39, Mikuni BST40


 No prizes for guessing which is going on SB#3.

Shed Brew

We love a bit of beer here, always helps grease the wheels of thought and lines the walls with possibility. Or summat. Home brewing is the way forward. 40pints of ale for £15? Count me in. 
Last night was bottling night...



Let them rest now for a week or two and then consume...

Fitting up the R/D Ti valve spring kit after lapping in valves and measuring spring height. Excuse the porno filter...

Shed Brewed #3




Taking a hit and then moving on. From this-

To this- 



Amman Valley Short Track

Wet start, dry finish. Good racing. Go see a bunch of loons hurl themselves round a dirty surface on loud bikes now. Or at the next meet.
