That DRZ will be like a new bike when you're done with it

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
I am getting a bit carried away. Once it's apart I like to do a decent job. Found myself cleaning up bolts and nuts with a wire brush drill attachment today though. I really just need to get it back together and check it rides ok. There's a long list still to do... fork oil, front brake bleed, possibly braided lines, fit rear indicators, front LED spots etc etc...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
More van fun. Making slow progress. Ran out of mig wire just before finishing it. Then it got dark. Looks like the van will be jacked up for a few days until I have a day off again.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
I had a nice spin out in the almost spring-like temps and didn't get cold at all. Had to wash the bike when I got home though, while the roads were mostly dry there were still enough puddles and muddy / cruddy bits to get it mucky despite the SV's superb mudguards

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Bloody everything as per usual. I had a pipe burst in the night (thankfully outside, but the water still would have been an issue). My (potentially very nosey?! ) neighbour noticed and turned off my water at the street. What a good bloke*, took him some decent beers.
*He's clearly been in Yorkshire a long time as he said "I thought about just leaving it as it was outside and I didn't want to come on your property but then I thought what if you're on a meter?!" The tinkering was actually minimal as I've got more important **** to do so I just cut the pipe at the house & capped it in about 30 seconds - this should probably be a smile of the day... Adam that weldings really neat, I've done a fair bit and I'm crap - is that post tidy-up grind or before? Still impressive in either case, natural enginneyur you are! Weren't you just learning recently?

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Yep, no welding yet in those pics... just the ground away edges of the patch.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Something up with my eyes, I was sure I could see perfect little circles of welding. You've set a tough bar to beat now
