Default Woo!! It's Coming Together!

At last light at the end of the tunnel! Claire's bike is almost fully serviced now. Maxton have just confirmed my suspension will be here on Friday, so my bike can be rebuilt and a new battery is on the way for the DRZ. This means we will have three working bikes instead of a collection of parts and ornaments!

My aim is to get the VFR working and MOT'd ready for the Wirral Egg Run.
Claire's SV MOT'd ready for the Barmouth ride.


Wooo! Might have a bike at last!



And then the weather will break.....

Well if you didn't spend so much time sitting around in a chair drinking beer, they'd have been done months ago.

You ain't joking Pete! Will be off down the car park to knock my slow speed control back into shape!

Mike I'm sure I have some somewhere you can borrow, don't need them now that I am no longer commuting!!!

In all seriousness, glad to hear its all coming together, the Viffers growl will be heard once more from the depths of the Welsh hillsides. Yeah.

I am getting that same "Yay" feeling, just awaiting chain riveter from Stretchie, already replaced all crash bungs and tidied the bike up. New tyre being done next weekend too. First summer where I can really enjoy the sun and riding. Woo Hoo.

Yay! New battery filled and on charge, so at least the DRZ will be mobile. Me and my lad will be on that to practice slow speed control. (Jon is doing bike test in a month)
