The blue lovely has a lie down at Laava's

[Mom]

Well, oops, the wrong springs have turned up. Back to square one, correct springs are now on order, and hopefully the oil filter will arrive at the same time, it appears that order has simply not showed

[Laava]

Bugger! Surprising how often that happens tho! Will it happen this week do you think?

The correct springs are actually ex-Auckland he assures me they will be here Monday, so fingers crossed

Cool, carbs are ready to go back in after I leak test them and then we are almost there! Keep your eyes peeled for parts from now on Anne as parts like carb mounts[rubber] are very hard to get used and probably impossible new. Rain for next couple of days so might not be able to work. You know what that means!

Easy peasy to get carb rubbers

Mechanical parts aren't normally to bad, it's body work,decals etc that are a problem to get a hold of

[Mom]

Not just sprung mind you, I have been filtered as well

The last bits needed for the extreme make over of the blue lovey have arrived. They will be winging their way norf (well not winging as much as slowly being driven) in the morning. I am not sure who is more excited here. Laava is bursting he tells me, I will leave him to tell you what I said in response

[Laava]

Yay!!!!!!
Can't wait to cane the arse off her when she's humming!

[Mom]

And a little boy waits....

Poor Laava! He is still waiting at the top of his drive for the courier to arrive. The weather up our way is crap, with a capital K!

Hope he put his coat on before he went out

[Laava]

Aaaaand boots and brolly to match!

[Pussy]

Aaaaand boots and brolly to match!

You've just gone out to play in the puddles, haven't you??

[Laava]

No-I never!

[Mom]

I know that quoting private messages is naughty but....

Here is my response to one I received from the lovey Laava just now.

"Ohhhhh, ohhhh, ohh, now reduced to whimpers!

Fucken hell, you are the loveliest thing out side of the blue lovely...LOL"

The weather in the Norf is shed loads better than some places today, but still not conducive to getting out and testing the on the stand result, which sounds better than better to me.

Saturday can not come soon enough for me.

[Laava]

Bahahaha! Oh- well, hope you are pleased with the outcome. At the end of the day, the minimum we have achieved is clean out the shit in the carbs and free up the clutch[big one!] Hopefully it will run better in all aspects, oh- and I shimmed up the sidestand, not that it made a lot of difference, but I was bored!

[vifferman]

Bored?
Bored?!?

There's plenty of bike fixing you can do around the place, always lotsa bikes to fix - no needs for boredoms.

[Mom]

oh- and I shimmed up the sidestand, not that it made a lot of difference, but I was bored!

Any camber decrease I need to factor into my stopage angle is a HUGE improvement, most lovely Laava!


So, no creeping, can select neutral easy peasy, no oil blowing out the clutch cover gasket, and the carbs cleaned out. If that has not made the biggest difference I am a pickled jellied eel!

I can not wait!
