Sly's bike in stealth mode, or new comet going over and everyones hiding.

I can't ride again this week, away again. Off to the Mission for Lionel Ritchie with the family groupies.

I'm looking forward to the March rides, Kat's purring with no place to go.

Quick bike repair update - Bonez' primary locking tool worked a treat, I now have the entire primary assembly removed from the bike, and we're mere moments away from fitting a new belt. I'll update the blog as soon as I get a spare moment, which at this stage looks like it'll be sometime next month.

I'm now on the scrounge for a small torque wrench. I've got a big one that goes up to about 150 ft-lbs, but I could really use a smaller one with a max rating of 40-50ft-lbs for some of the small stuff. Anyone locally got one I could borrow for a couple of days?

I've got a larger one that covers that range from 20 - 150ft/lbs and a lighter one 20 -200in/lbs if that's a help. You're welcome to borrow them if you like!

2 weeks ago I would have had one off my old Gixxer you could have borrowed. De reged it and handed the plate over. Good luck.

how could you need to look at any other bike in ANZA's when that Yellow Daytona is there?

You're well and truly converted!

I love it, now if only more could see the light!

**86GSXR** · 26th February 2009, 11:27

Have you seen the other one, same as mine but only 1000 kms on it! Been sitting in a garage for years. I have my eye on another Tiger tho, they do it for me. If my Daytona doesn't sell I will keep it for 'special' occasions

Yes, that one takes my fancy.
Might pop down next weekend for a look.
In fact, I will do.
