    I'll have to see when I can get mine done and get an afternoon off work. Will hopefully get it done over the next few days.

    I start work at 8 :aggressive:

    I can drop into the shopfront in fyshwick during my brake anyway so it's no big deal.

    on my endeavor to discover a easier way to swap the ignition barrel from a ZXR to CBR.. Honda seems to have used a generic barrel which has pointless contacts then there is only 3 wires attached to the back...

    Spoke to the insurance mob the other day they tried to low blow my $2100 and $500 buy back so $1600 in hand, I said fairs fair and that if I had my own insurance and went through them it would've been covered for atleast $3300 (this is what pricing i can find doing quotes etc) they're going to talk to the assessors and get back to me. I'm happy to pay $300 if they're gonna offer me $3000 XD I had a mate with a VR commo manual so rareish and when it was deemed a repairable write-off they offered him $3000 and $100 buy back. Will have to wait and see what their next offer will be.

    synchronized the carbs on my mc22 track bike using nothing but my eyes :prankster: and it was perfect!!.... then i tuned it using nothing but my ears!! :drinks:
    such a healthy sounding engine!! no rattles.......... i also belted my 94' cibby through some twisties and may have hit limiter a few too many times.

    ordered some mirrors from @XCite Bikes and ordered some Litetek seals from @maelstrom , I went for a decent ride Saturday night and my CBR has a flat spot at 12000prm, time for a spring clean and new seals and jets.
