So nice to have a dry day to fettle stuff outside. Finally got the blown driveshaft to gearbox coupling assembly off the Guzzi trike and this I'll TIG up tomorrow at work. Thought I'd fire it up after being idel since last October. Stuck a pair of jumpleads on the knackered battery and it fired up first crank of the engine. Excellent. Back on the road on that next week then. Then got stuck into the new trike project (SO's "girlie trike"!) donor bike, the '87 K100RS I got from Burnt. It all came apart very nicely, even the downpipes, which was a big surprise. No snapped studs, no stripped threads anywhere. I *like* working on BMWs. Got the swinging arm out and all of the back end stripped and now it's all ready for lining up the axle/subframe. Now I can get stuck into the fabrication. Even got a few hours trail riding in today which was a good crack in the sunny weather. With all the gear on, you sweat like a rapist after a very short time slogging through the mud over the 'Plains'. God I'm a lot less fit than last year. Knackered and happy. Cider time :>) JB
