    Oh my God! What have you done? I just asked you to clean the fuel tap!

    Look I know it looks bad now. But once we cut the back of the frame off you will see things in a whole new light.

    Hows the condition of the old Putty?

    I grew up in Sydney and we used to do the Putty alot .....cant remember 1 thing about it except that it was not a great surface back 40 years ago! .... but the old thumping Triumphs and Dukes did the job .

    Surface is pretty good.went with two mates. One on a pennagali one on a new Yamaha triple. Through the 35/45 upto 65 Klm corners they were behind me. The Yamaha a long way behind. Once it opened up to 75+ corners the Ducati was gone. The yammy caught up,well I could see his headlight in my mirrors. Road surface was a little sketchy at times but not too bumpy. Just have to watch out for the fuzz.

    Got the new brake pads on the bike after a whole lot of mucking around. The brake-pad-pin plug was seized nicely. Resorted to a big hammer, centre punch and a few hits tangentially on the screw slot to "undo" it.

    Had the young fella in the shed with me to help change oil & filter on the camel. Apart from the constant chatter about Pokemon, I think he had fun & maybe even learned something.
    Also spent a good hour & a half filing out an inner piece of exhaust on the storm. According to multiple testimonials on the Ozfirestorm.com forum, it will be much smoother @ low revs & possibly even increase top end slightly due to better flow. I'm yet to get on it & open it up to see.

    Last couple of days have been working on getting my 1981 GS250 Maico ready for the weekend in the hills. So far have changed fork seals, oil and new gaiters, replaced broken front guard with NOS, changed gearbox oil, cleaned plug, fitted new air filter element, and generally lubed all cables and moving bits, washed and polished. Went for a quick squirt up the back laneway, and it might be 33 years old, but still f**king fast. (40hp in bike 112Kg)

    Today have cleaned and painted the frame and all the black bits of the DS5 Yamaha 250.

    Beer o'clock now, photos later. :D

    good work, i walked out the front and said got to do some work but went back to bed.was working under the car 2 weeks ago and it fell off the jack. cross member broke 3 ribs and the swaybar smacked 4 teeth into the gum where some were visible but lost the ends. prognosis is ribs have to heal and 4 teeth need root canal therapy and capping.by the way if you have a late model falcon and the starter plays up just go and buy a new starter and see your local mechanic with a hoist.the ambo ride was a joy even with sister morphine on board,falcon late model starters from bosch are crap so if you have a falcon look for an old starter and rebuild it ready.
