Been playing with an imported KE175, F7 in the USA today. Owner has paid a fair bit of money for it but I've already discovered the forks are pitted and the main crank bearings have seen better days. All the cables are seized up too. He's going to have to have a good think, he doesn't like spending money and I can see he's gonna need a bucket full to start with.

Oldest granddaughters birthday party tomorrow. F1 weekend. I took a wall out between my outside toilet and shed and the bikes got covered in brick dust so hoping for some good weather Sunday to wash and dry them. That's about it.

Just reminded me of a time a customer asked me to road test his Skoda Estelle. I found a bag, cut 2 eyes hole and off I went. Rest of the garage were pissing themselves, customer wasn't to impressed.

Did you copy and paste that.

Dubless

And good weather. Might have got a bike out myself if I could be arsed.

Oh dear.

When you said the bike was the sellers I assumed it was his ride home. Didn't realise it was the sellers pic and you haven't got it yet.

You're got a project too?

I really liked them till I rode one although it was the sport model.

That's a lot of red, Bob should be happy.

Was that his homeward transport?

Bobs got a dub.

Prob sounds like my knees without the engine running.

Welcome.

Will have to come back to these later, thanks.

Gay tyres, should be slicks on those wheels.

Once you bolt a mini super charger on they're a bit much for your common garden hairdresser.

We watched an old BBC program on player last night called "Thread". Apparently it wasn't shown at the time as it followed a few people in Britain going through stages of a nuclear war and too graphic for the audience then. Not sure if I recommend or not.

Don't know what the exchange rate is but you're getting good money for them over there. Having said that, I'm told my ex work mate who used to race mx5s said he can get £600 for the cats off them.

I watched a program on bbc4 Friday night. Think it was called 40 hidden gems or something like that. Available on Iplayer and def worth a look just for Jeff Buckley and the eurythmics doing an acoustic song at the end of a talk show. And Shirley Bassey with a see through top, Six???

Happy birthday Shadow, enjoy but ride safe.

Yet the 1981 my mate has has no welding at all. It's got a few spots on the body but the underside is remarkably good.
