This afternoon's efforts:

Even by my standards I'm impressed:

Ih where have I seen that before? AHA, another 750 Turbo just after the
owner said it was going very well at the moment. We later discovered it
was because the waste gate was stuck shut.

 

To really **** things up properly, requires a turbo.

 

That's a decent sized hole.

 

I'll be putting the decent bottom end in with its Wiseco 810cc barrels
and pistons with new shells and cam chain.

I have a spare turbo but it's got knackered seals; I may seek advice on
that.

Should be up and running for Chimay. If it isn't I'll take my MZ Trophy
out of spite. I battered it straight and got it running yesterday, six
months after I mowed down the poor pedestrian.

 

It's a fucking sex machine:

Ouch. Carnage.

Those pix are a bit slow to load, btw.

 

No, that's not a fucking sex machine, _this_ is a fucking sex machine

It happened at about 130mph which is more or less full chat so not too
surprising.

 

You know, with a strategically placed plaint blob or black plastic bolt
or two, you could get that front plate to read "Yeltsin" in Cyrillic.

 

Pissed down in SW London (thunderstorms)....

However - got a new tank, seat and side panels, all OE Honda in very
nice nick, onto the ShiteOldCB750, so the afternoon was not wasted.

 

It's on the end of my cable connection; it's not normally too bad.

 

Good work, that chap.

I've "finished" the Wing. Just listening to ISIHAC before I give it a
road test.

Hairstyle your cat...

 

I went shopping. Then to the pub(s). Had a siesta. Now cooking a bit of
salmon.

Might have a ride around la laguna seca on wednesday.

The sunflowers are starting to flower. Might take a piccy or 2.

Well, I just watched a strange looking bug sucking the brain out of a
dead wasp.

*The* other laguna seca? There's probably quite a few in southern Spain
at the mo, as we're having a drought. Ours is just a bloody great white
patch. Everyone's wailing that the tourists won't come because the
flamingos have buggered off.

Still, there's always the brain-sucking bugs.

Far from being a prolific poster at the best of times, I've spent the
day cutting out 3 years of weeds from my neglected garden. Fucking
tenants. Oh, and my bike is still in storage after the trip back from
across the pond.

However, I did learn one good lesson today with the hedge trimmer.
Don't cut the bright orange branch, it makes a bit of a bang and the
trimmer stops playing.

 

*Snort*

And all the RCDs in the house go *CLICK*

 

No need, just tell people that it already does.

 

All ready to be installed in the Dnepr, then?
