Working on me bike...

As some of you may have notice I've spent rather lot of time working on me bike, from which I have learn't a few important things that had never occured to me.

1. Getting a bike through the house into the back garden is not a one person job.
2. You never have the tools you need to do the jobs you want, many trips to the shop will stop play.
3. Sometimes you'll even have to manufacture your own, namely a 5 quid 27mm socket cut down to fit a castle nut.
4. The job is never easy as you would hope.
5. After 4 years riding and 2 years layed up, lots of bolts will need to be cut off and replaced.
6. A big hammer is your friend, but two are a god send.

So here's a few pic's for your enjoyment.



First up the step and in to the house with the help of the yellow pages (to help bump the bike up the front step), and into the dinning room.



Then Jax helped me into the kitchen and down our huge rear step into the garden.



After which a few days destruction ensued, and we now have the bike in this state.

Plans in the making, getting the bike all ready and ship shape. Plus its easier to clean in bits...
