Listening

Mojo!

A good evening. First off I shaped the exhaust hanger I'd made to allow the silencer a better sitting position. Use of the blowtorch and some pipe for leverage left me with two nice curves.
A bit of scotchbriting later and it was on the bike along with the strap I made to replace the gaudy tinfoil thing that ebay turned up.
Then it was a case of on with the new stainless steel chain snails, courtesy of Hessler Rallye Team from Germany. Also got the new Renthal chain fitted, and the run is perfect. Phew!
A bit of a conundrum; kevlar Renthal grips that compliment the olde English white paint (LHS) or Biltwell Kung Fu's that suit the style of the bike and go more with the saddle? Thoughts anyone?

Pleased

Dunc picked the bodywork up on Sunday and then posted these pics for me. I'm pleased with how it looks, even if it is tongue in cheek.





Keep it coming Dunc.

Funny

Doing a quick search for DR800 parts (there's one in diaspora in the shed) and I turned up this picture from the always good bubblevisor anyway, following the search link and lo and behold, the bike below it is my Aussie friend Stew's DCM SR500...
Smaller world...

Reminder

A chance for a really nice ride tonight reminded me of how just getting out there can be fun.
That's all really.

Away

It has been a busy few weeks. A week on holiday on the East shore of Lake Garda, and then a new job started. Somehow it seems that all the relaxation of the holiday disappears when you have a new job to face. Anyway normal service will be resumed shortly. For now a few holiday snaps.

busy

Painted some bodywork for a friend's street tracker. A little tongue in cheek maybe. Waiting for the clear to cure so it can be cut and buffed.
