Dunno. Bucket racer?

Very tidy bucket racer.

Hmmm...

But I think I'll concentrate on suspension first.

The seat foam has softened up a bit so I re-stretched the vinyl and re-stapled it.
It's a little firmer now too.

Would,ve been easyer to give it a jab with viagra.

A jab with expanding foam may have done the trick too.

But when it comes down to it, who would pass up a chance to get busy with a pneumatic staple gun

Almost as good as a nail gun.

The TT is officially mine!

Now I don't need to feel so guilty about the mods I've been doing

Same old same old around here...

Went up the Maungatapu tonight and did some videoing as the forecast is crap for Fri, wet for Sat and maybe ok Sun.

Picked up the axle and collars for the new TT forks so might pull the old front end off the bike and see what's needed to be done to do the conversion.

Got a new reg for the DR.

We'll have to organise an end-of-season Rainbow-Molesworth loop.
If we do it that way then we get lunch in Hanmer and KFC for dinner in Blenheim

kfc mmmmmmmmmm.

In 3 weeks (I think), Jenni is going to Hanmer for some Morris Dance stuff

and I thought of going down either through the Rainbow or 'tother way.
Drop gear off at the accommodation and head up toward Lake Tennyson and those tracks we've heard about on here.
Cruise back on the Sunday.

Perfect for the DR but I'd like to take the TT just for the hell of it.
So any interesting side roads would probably get explored...
