Slow is slow

When you choose the cheapest method of shipping you do indeed get the slowest possible service. My mind is picturing this "slow motion" world of couriers that are basically, human sloths. They all walk slowly, as though gravity is affecting them personally, they put your parcel down at every opportunity so they can chat with their fellow sloths. Then, on the way to do something with your parcel they decide to have a really long cigarette followed by a really long weekend off. The most intriguing part of this vision is how the airplanes involved can actually fly so slowly??
Basically they must try very hard to slow your parcel down, it probably costs them more to send as they have to store it somewhere whilst not delivering it.

You may have guessed that my parts from the US still haven't arrived. According to online tracking they arrived at UK customs on the 27th, a whole 11 days after being posted.

In the meantime i've had some aerosols mixed up and have managed to get some spray painting done.
The front brake master cylinder is more hassle that it's worth, leaking fluid everywhere as the cap is plastic and warped. I'll either make a new cap or find another master cylinder.
I realized when i came to put the cylinder head back together that i had made a mistake disassembling everything, and mixed up the valve components. The valve springs had all been shimmed to make the installed height correct. So i've made myself more work and will have to re-measure them all and set them up again.

I'm now looking for a die grinder on ebay, i need to remove the top 4 cooling fins off the back of the barrels so i can drill and tap holes for nitrous nozzles. This is the best place for them but there is not enough room to thread them in without cutting the fins off.
A picture i took of a bike at Santa pod shows what i'm trying to achieve
