Homertrix Chilly Chilterns, 10 May 2010 17:31 I laminated its tax disc and turned it around in the garage (ready to realign the lights after taking off the shorter drag link at the weekend)
Mark Sheffield, 10 May 2010 18:14 I moved it out of the way to make room to start stripping down the 1977 Kawa Z1 I'm doing from the frame up for a mate. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4009/4595...

StumpyDave Lincolnshire, 11 May 2010 09:14 I bumped into mine getting a chair out of the garage and have been bleeding for the last 2 hours. How can you cut yourself on the edge of an indicator lens when it's attached to the bike?

Tri-saki Surrey, 14 May 2010 14:16 changed the oil, hen spent 10 mins trying to chase a small "blow" from the exhaust joint where I had taken it off to remove and replace the rear wheel.
Android Dereham, Norfolk, 14 May 2010 16:21 Yeah, Blizz you moron, you should've posted something sensible like I did.
Dan The Man An Englishman abroad, 14 May 2010 17:30 I`ve just been to a local car workshop to borrow their compressed air line to blow out my siezed brake pistons.
a_morti Portsmouth, 14 May 2010 18:27 Changed the spark plugs. Srsly, what a pain in the ass, you end up taking almost the whole bike apart to get to them.

Tis a thing of beauty for sure, a fine example.
You'll have no trouble selling that one, specially seeing as you managed to line up those numbers on the clock real nice - good job that.
How many did they make in Pink?

~EARL~ gods country wales, 15 May 2010 09:58 i'm about to perform open heat surgery on it, well fix a leaky gasket anyway
Blizzard Coventry, 15 May 2010 17:47 I've done something to it today. I wheeled it out of the garage to show a potential buyer
Krautophile Dresden/Hunts, 15 May 2010 17:48 Gave it a good washing and fitted the Triumph soft panniers to it!
