Super post drought

Possibly the longest my blog has ever gone without an update. So here goes with a progress report....

The motorsport show in Blackpool went ok, there were some nice cars there but mine was the only bike. Lots of interest in it however, i spent several hours on the Saturday answering questions an chatting to people, and nearly all the Santa Pod flyers and leaflets went.
It was also good to load the new van and realize how much easier it is and how much more space we have. The Iveco is also much nicer to drive and better on fuel than the Citroen too.

I picked up a really clean set of GSX cases recently, so i had them vapour blasted. They come up great but getting the bead out afterwards requires a lot of work, Getting the studs out is never easy either... always a mammoth task!


The last few jobs to do on the bike in preparation for easter are now done, little things like valve clearances and ignition timing all sorted. The Easter entry list shows 10 bikes but i have a feeling there will be 1 or 2 more. A particularly international entry too with bikes and riders from all over.




And lastly, i've decided it's been too long since i last had a road bike ... kinda miss just going for a ride and so a Honda Super Blackbird has appeared in my possession .... nice it is too and a crazy amount of bike for crazy little money. It's a cool colour too.
