Buying new candy for Cindi

Rate this Entry
Well on Wednesday, I popped into those wankers at Botany Honda - they are such bastards when it comes to providing good service, products and witty repartee.

Between the lads in the workshop and the presence of mssrs Dumpty and Richard McF, no poor joker stands a chance of walking out of that place with their wallet intact.

Dumpty produced a plethora of bike Porn bits for my grubby lusts and I found myself bowling out of the place with a backpack filled with a Two Brothers Carbon Fibre 'zorst!

They somehow conspired and bickered amongst themselves and I had scored a discount (yay! not as many cans of baked beans this month!)

At chez DONOR's we mucked and muddled our way through the spannering so Cindi could clear her throat in a more hearty manner! We used the included lock-tite blue goop, worked out how to secure the bits on and around the pipes and can, bemoaned the fact that we had no ginger beers to quaff in the man cave. But we are nothing, if not resilient in the face of adversity. The first switch on was a nice rumbling bass through the floor and our knees.

Didn't even have parts left over! Though the stock instructions about using an OEM mounting bolt was a load of bollocks. DONOR dug up an appropriate bolt from his dungeon and everything was tickity-boo. So off I pootled to score a box of ginger beers while appreciating the new musical note that Cindi was making.

Meant to take some photos and bring it back to Botany Honda so they could use it as an example to fob off on other unsuspecting Predator purchasers.

Pricks.

Looks bloody good! And just got to see if that baby oil tip from Dumpty wasn't just pulling my leg! Click image for larger version.

    At least you can bloody hear the bike revving along now! I've readjusted it due to advice from Dumpty, and it's mounted more appropriately (the pipe lines up more along the angle and the can retainer is more flush now).

    It's fun revving it out loud to 10k revs!
