Its Back...

Thu Sep 30, 2010 6:13 pm

After a little altercation with the tar, and given my state of health leaves a lot to be desired, I though it good time to strip and fix up the 10.

With a lot of help from Damo we got the fairings sorted and gave it a few licks of paint.
While that was happening I stripped the bike down and had Laurie Alderton run his eye over it and he found a few little twists and bends that he corrected. Nothing serious, but its nice to know things are straight.
I tidied up a few bits and generally stuffed around with things over the last couple of months.
The clutch still has a niggling problem that I am working on and will be testing out this Saturday. Other than that its all ready to go..
Unfortunately I'm not and I'm looking at having an op on both my shoulders (at least the right anyway) for torn rotator cuffs. ATM its looking like being at the end of the year, early next year. Hoping for early next year to get Xmas track day in ( I'll just have to take it easy... :oops: ..)

Big thanks to Damo, Robracer, Pete, Glen at allfixed, Frank and anyone else who lent a hand..

Yep, sorry about that. It does stuff the pics up doesn't it.
I always put it back on after the racing as its easier to move around, but yes, I should have put it up for the pics.. :oops:
