Sedan run photos.

Liberal[1] spray of Cillit Bang, quick go over with the brush on the
hose, then a brisk jetwash, and it's good as new.

I suppose I should have leathered it down, and polished it, but clean
was deemed "good enough for now".

[1] Bit of politics, very topical.

Sticky little fuckers, those Froggie flies. I've got most of them off by
use of the "damp cloth" method.

I've also discovered that the poxy fucking bastard **** of a misbegotten
fuel tank still has some loose crap floating around. Because it was
blocking the fuel tap. Again.

Arse.

All cleaned out, new fuel filter fitted, the problem will now go away.

*sob*

I got them off with the paying Jennifer a fiver method. I must give
her credit for trying for an hour to get it Adie standard clean. Every
time she came in to get me to go and inspect it She exclaimed 'where
did you find that' when I stuck my finger in somewhere to find muck
[1]

I went out when she had given up and washed the few places she'd
missed. took me five mins as opposed to the couple of hours it would
have done.

[1] not that one.

My "clonking" has come back again.

Fairing off at the weekend, then.

Together with the rear wheel, and drive shaft.

Apart from that, a potentially notchy steering stem, and a completely
fucked clutch[1], it's fine.

I think I'll get one of those hydraulic lift thingies at MachineMart
on Sunday. Save all that bending nonsense.

**** it, I'll do the lot.

[1] It slipped more times on Saturday, than the last two years put
together.

Two.

No.

Too.

The wheel needs swapping, cos of that fucking lumpy Avon.

While it's off, I might as well swap the drive shaft over.

The fairing and head stock will take minutes (I'm quite well practiced
by now).

The clutch has been on the work bench for over two years - if I don't
fit it soon, I never will.

It really got intolerable on Saturday - every time I hit a bump in the
road, I lost drive. Not ideal when leading other bikes.

If I get bored, I'll fit the air horns, spotlights, and get the Rings
of Fire going.

Well, strictly speaking, there should be no expense involved in this -
except 4 litres of oil.

Three-quarters of ****-all per hour.

It's not as if I was likely to be doing anything interesting instead.

Eh? What?

The multi-coloured mess on the front of my bike is a hard-earned multi-
coloured mess, and it's staying on there as a badge of honour.

Between that and the gaffer tape, it's wearing its scars with pride.

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, ogden

Yes. You don't have to look through your screen, do you?

Pride? Have you talked to it about this?

Fear is the word that would spring to mind. Or possibly resignation.

Still, we shouldn't anthropomorphise motorbikes.

They hate it when we do that.

I tried a few times while on the return leg of the A26, but my neck
doesn't seem to bend to that angle.

Looks pretty though

 

Have you crashed it?

 

Rolled off its sidestand. Twice.

The ****.

 

It's a gixxer thing.

 

Jesu Christos - how big was the cloth??!!

Don't know what you mean squire, I just used an old pair of my
underpants.
