    The stars have aligned and it's back on the bench with work resuming...

    An early FZR250 tank cover was purchased pre xmas - rough, dented and badly sprayed bleck Ideal...It's been trimmed radically and hinged at the front. A rubber band at the back, rubber channel glued around the bottom and i'm happy with the look.

    Well, FTW. The site's timing me out after a short paragraph, autosave isn't working and it won't let me edit a post.

    Lots more has been done but you won't hear about it.

    When you log in, go to the top & click in the box that says "remember me" I think that's what it says, I haven't logged out for years.
    It also may be down to the hamster out your way getting tired of running the internet generator wheel, or have you upgraded to the steam powered internet now?

    The safari tank on my sons WR250 does that using the inlet to drain the "Wings" and pump it back to the main tank.
    Plenty of 2T's use the intake pules for outboards and Chainsaws.
    I don't recall one on a exhaust other than i think some 2t RC pylon planes?

    It's not the sign-in - or the hamster. The incompatibility between vodafone dialup and spark ultratrick is such that the site sees the delays as faults and shuts me out. We have the same prob with trademe - but it comes up and tells you why it's shut you down. Middle of this year we should be upgrading.

    Until recently I could edit posts. Now i can't. I'm having no probs on overseas forums - but I assume spark didn't spend the money on making their system compatible with everything in use in NZ. They expect you to have the latest programmes.

    People may not know but thanks to Grumph's generosity I now have his bike. I've actually had it for a while but have only recently made sufficient progress on my own twin to feel comfortable starting work on The Sensible Twin. There's still a bit of work on my own bike so first up I'm just sorting out appearances. Sanding most of the black off and tidying up the front fairing which I'll start on tomorrow. So far I've only got the primer on. A bit of bog tomorrow to fill in a few holes, sanding, a bit more primer, and it'll be ready for it's coat of Kawasaki Green paint. Sorry Greg.

    Or you could change your name to Mike Black and save the effort?
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    It's a little known 'fact'that early Yamaha race bikes were painted the same shade of lime green. . . . (I do all my fact checking on alt reality conspiracy websites).
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I got a new tin of green paint. It's a custom colour based on my original FZR twin which was painted "Kelly Green". It turns out there are more than a few different "Kawasaki Greens" in the database. If it ever gets to that I might just choose one so I can replace it easily rather than having to match each time
