    Who burnt their toast this morn?
    Drove past around 11.45am this morn and saw the massive house fire just across from Challies Rd out on Waimea West, not much of it left by 12:15pm.
    Bugger, no camera with me.

    You should've popped in for a few min and got a closer look at the fire. they lit it about 7 times before burning it down properly.

    After going through every possibly suspension setting I reccon i've got the front end pretty good, the rear needs some more work but i've stopped it trying to kick me over the bars. will change the oil in both ends this week and go back next weekend for another tune up.

    Did manage to get a wee bit done, piston and barrell installed, carby cleaned out, valves seated in, just need to set the valve clearances that have gone all to hell since the valvegrind. Fortunately I know a few people with valve refacing machines in Mot so I can set the clearances one lunchbreak this week then its just a matter of screwing it all back together.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    Bugger, missed this...it's been way too long since my last ride...far out before Christmas on my own, and not since mid Jan on my in-laws GB400!

    Have to remember that I was terrifying myself on your 640 at the time...was and actually still is the biggest, most powerful bike I've ridden! Good contrast from a 50 cc smoker...

    Road access is only on the highway side.
    He'd have gone in way to the left of that.
    There's meant to be another plane in there somewhere.
    It was in the paper a few years ago. Hunters were souveniring bits off it.

    Especially so due to the fact that he started flying at 83!

    Just dunno wot to do with the old girl really. Actually toying with the idea of making it into a classic scrambler. Don't have to worry about lights and shit then. Its now relegated to under the bench. Out of sight out of mind.
