Nessie doesn't like things!!!

[banditloon]

As my girlfriend has 'buggered' off to Malta for a week (sitting on a beach today, so she happily told me!!), I decided to stay in the wilds of WOT and have a tinker with the things in my garage.

The usual, get the Bandit out, pull the brake lever, remember the calipers aren't connected to the bike (they are now!!) then swear lots again! Bandit on centre stand, Nessie on paddock stands, tools out, arrange the essentials and get ready to work!

I was looking for a rucksack, damn bikes in the way of all the tat at the back of my garage. Anyway, oil checked, plugs changed on Nessie, looked at the Blandit and gave up and decided to see how bad the fuel leak is from the petrol tank.

Tank open, coils fall out....

Thats not right...

Locate bolt that should be holding the coils to the air box, well one at least, under the battery. Battery disconnected, taken out, coils re-attached to the air box. Decided to clean the air filter as well, then adjust the gear lever, check the air pressures, talk to my garage neighbour about 595s and 955s, some polishing.........................

List goes on :chuckle:

So much for a quick simple job in the garage tonight. Was in the garage at 4.30pm, got home at 8pm. Stupid bikes!! :chuckle:

Even Dixxie got some attention today!

Wheeled from the back of the garage to the front, 'cos the garage light is rubbish. Up on the paddock stand, counted the teeth on the rear sprocket (twice, just to be sure), made a note of the front tyre model, then off the stand and back inside.

May even get round to riding her soon - who knows!

Just went down to the garage to give opinion on custom tail end for the Max,and noticed my poor baby is covered in cobwebs, so is the Fazer. I couldn't get to her to clean them off either. Tail looks cool though, not bad for a home made thingy, it's only at plaster stage but has potential.
