Waited for the rain to 'iss off, washed her & went out for a drive (1st real time) :D

 

Really need to sort my geo now, mainly the castor :cry: I feel like I've been weight training

Gave Paddy a good thrashing over and around Beachy Head, just a pity a Sunday driving BMW motorbike owner would not go a little faster. There are some awesome hairpins up the hill there, brakes not required just a large pair of balls.

Painted rocker cover mowog green, stripped another set of carbs down for a clean..... I must hoard twin su's without realising ... Found another 2 sets in the garage...... Bolted a set onto the engine to make sure I had enough room for pipes etc.

Cheers James
