I know the feeling about cleaning your bike ceebie...my ZZR11 got stripped down to rolling frame and engine and it took me 7 hours to clean everything and put it back on.
Then i pissed the missus off by going and getting it all dirty on a trip to Napier from whangas straight after i finished putting it back together.
Like I said to her "You didn't expect me to put it back in its glass case again did you??!"
Keep up the good work mate; good to see one else pedantic about keeping the beast nice

I spend half an hour a day on the GS. It's still not as clean as that there CB but I know how you feel. I use the 'beast' every day, but I can't bear to see it dirty.
I'm not obsessive, really I'm not.

...when i rand up for insurance, the dude asked me where it was kept.. ..i told him i park it at the end of my bed with the alarm on!!! ...he actually cracked up laughing!!!! ..sad part though is it's kinda true! ahem..Originally Posted by Kyle
If the doorways in our house were wider id park my bikes in my bedroom i reckon. Im not sure if i talk to my bike, to me its definatly made of steel and plastic etc, i know it cant hear me. However i do talk to myself about my bikes, when im alone. And i spend hours in the garage looking at them, polishing and tinkering. Id say that is fairly normal for a true motor bike fan. Im guility of giving it a pat on the seat as i walk past, or maybe a rub, and sometimes after a few beers ive been known to give it a big hug, but never when anyone else is watching, they might think im nuts. (after all, if it cant hear me, it surely cant feel me either) right now one of my bikes is in race mode and down at work, im getting withdrawls, so i have a picture of it on my desktop, that helps.

Been for a ride, off to do some polishing etc.
I wonder why our Autosol bill is larger than our tooth-paste one??
Never mind, the matte-black finish on the T-Sport will help in cutting down THAT cost.

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

If you mean the Abba paddock stand that my CB is on... then you could try
emailing this guy
steve.lebillon@xtra.co.nz
I brought my stand in from the UK when I emigrated here. When I bought the CB, I needed new bobbins to locate on the swing arm pivots. Steve was the man. He's based in Nelson I think. I think he's the NZ rep for all things Abba (no Swedish jokes please guys!). Good luck.
