Fixed my little bike

[Jayneflakes]

Now just have the worry of "Did I do all the nuts and bolts up?". Nothing like a bit of OCD while I ride along.

Finally fitted my recently painted side panels back onto Silvie, we now have the same Tattoo, although she has one on each side.

Finished the little bike repair in the glow of Carol's head lights from her works van, despite having a new generator in the garage. It was just too much effort to go and get a lamp!

Whats that big shiny chrome thing on the rhs of the sv?

What was wrong with it? Sorry, but sometimes I have the attention span of a goldfish and I miss these things!!

The design on the Black side panel?

The design is a tattoo that I have on my chest, which was done a while ago as a keep safe. It is the Buzz Saw blade from the Death Metal Band Zyklon, with a Runic symbol in the middle. Ten years later and it is still one of my favourite tattoos, so the bike has two as well now, one on each side to keep both of us safe.

I burnt out the clutch of my Training bike about six weeks ago and the stuff finally arrived from M&P this week after Carol phoned them again and complained. We are still waiting for some bits to come, but it is together enough that I can use it for work again. This was the first time since my engineering college days (1990 -1992) that I have played with an engine. I loved it though, but must admit my knowledge is very poor and I had to rely on the Haynes manual for the CG to rebuild him.

Well done you! I know nothing about engines. At all. Again, the attention span thing doesn't help...!

Thank you,

Although when it all falls apart we shall see how well done it was. The mechanic types on here make it all sound so easy, but it really can be very complicated. I did enjoy it though.

Am I truly alone in thinking that the OE Exhaust is actually nice sounding and good looking. If I was to change it, it would have to be another silver one, although Carbon is nice, I fear it would look tacky on my bike.

Yes, you are.

Oh Janie, you've shattered the dream.

You have builder's bum
