Not a lot happenin ....

Can you believe it? It is almost a month now since the last blog entry and what has happened. Well to put it bluntly ... not a lot.

Peter has been frigging around with the carbs and we have finally decided to get them dynojetted. He will then clean the casings with "carb cleaner" and polish the tops. They should come up a treat when this has been done.



Ian and Peter spent a lazy Sunday grinding off all those useless fittings on the frame in preparation for getting it powdercoated.

The decision has been made to get the frame done in "shiney black". I think we are all leaning towards a completely black bike (frame, motor and tank) with the odd bit of orange here and there ... I think.
