Santapod yesterday? Was a great day - near enough non-stop racing all day.

Santapod yesterday, and a good blat from Oxford to Bracknell and back today - great weekend!

Saturday.

Oh right. Yesterday was great, near enough dry all day.

Are you one of the photographers with the press vests on, or just a punter?

Yes, there are bikes in this picture.



A little closer



It's a lot steeper than it looks in the pictures, honest.

Looks cool. Where is that?

We did over 100 miles over the day but that particular section is Gatesgarth Pass near lake Windermere.

Cbr 600 is off having black panels sprayed, so swapped out manky old swingarm for one i detabbed, blasted and had sprayed earlier. First chance to use the abba swingarm removal bobbins, theyre brilliant...









Did quick and dirty machine polish of old art can while there...



I love this bike, it's amazing the condition for the age of these old hondas. This one's going to be all black, with subtle silver decals and single seat cover. It's a lovely little thing.

On a private airfield today.

Yes - it was a lovely afternoon for it

They'd need to be talented pilots to miss that Armco running down the runway

Theyre like normal abba ones, but they have a hole drilled through the middle with a long bolt running through each one. You take the peg hangers off the frame and use one of the bolt holes from each side for each bobbin. Totally rock solid, theyre brilliant.

Aye, that's it. I was sceptical but theyre perfect. Really good idea well executed.

Is it sturdy though? It doesn't look it from the picture.

I bought a set of the Harris Footpeg stands for when I swapped a swingarm over / removed the rear shock: http://www.harris-performance.com/acatalog/Online_...
Not cheap but very good.

Got the Wife's bike out of hibernation after being off the road since Nov due to salt ... Still scrubs up pretty well and makes my blade look like a 250cc bike ...

So the Mrs changed our plans for today at the last min so decided to make the most of the weather. Had a run up to Cat and Fiddle had a enjoyable couple of hours out.

Had a great hour or so on the Gamma, was really flying along and then.........she seized big time..

Going to be messy in there, the kickstart is solid..

Bad times.

On the plus side it seems like you enjoy working on your bikes and the engine will end up as nice as the rest of it looks
