    I've been cleaning.

    Lovely evening it was, so I did one of my favourite things and cleanied the new 2nd hand bike.

    Mother's alloy cleaner is good stuff.

    Centre stand's rule too, and it is incredibly easy to use the one on the CB. Only need one finger under the footrest hanger to lift it up and over, combined with the downward push with the foot on the stand lever. Then, wet, dry, polish, lube, scrub, polish, buff, protective tape so the tailpack won't scratch the paint. Great fun.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I like the Mother's stuff better. Probably Autosol in a different package with the appropriate license fee added.

    Arrow Looks great!

    I need to get myself some of that cleaner I think for my next project.
    Can someone please tell me where I can purchase Mother's alloy cleaner? Hardware shop, Auto 1, Supercheap?

    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    My partners comment as I looked at the pictures "What the hell is that thing?" "It's Jim2's new bike"... "But hasn't he got like a flash bike?" "Yeah, the purple and green one in the corner of Pic 1"

    I'm making mental notes of picture two so that I remember to slow and say hi on the mway now...

    Looks good mate
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods
