Whiter than white!

Re-sprayed bits

Re-sprayed bits

The 1st bling has arrived! I picked up the re-sprayed tank, mudguard and hoops from a good mate who sorted them out for me today. The tank had a few dents in it from my 2 outings on my arse but you can’t even see them now they’ve been properly filled. It’s handy knowing someone in the motor trade :)

This lot along with the white fairings will make me look like frosty the snowman out there so I’ve now named my bike ‘The White Thing’, hoping that some of Smithy’s speed will suddenly posess her!

I need to get the rubber back on the hoops this weekend courtesy of the bike friendly Watling Tyres then the work can commence on buffing up the frame. My fleabay special polishing kit has arived, with a multitude of mops, coloured bars and polish. This is gonna be fun!

The frame had already been polished before but it’s gone dull so hopefully a re-buff and wax seal will do the job. Jay’s been given polishing duties and can’t wait to break out the power tools! So once that’s done it’ll be a trip over to Stoater HQ (mum’s garage) to retrieve the old broken frame etc to build the rolling chasis.

Let’s not forget the whole reason we’re doing this is to replace the broken frame caused by Tom when he ran over the bike at Brands! You still owe me that bike fella! :p

But it’ll give us the chance to learn how the whole thing fits together and be a little more self sufficient.

That’s all for now…I’ve got a white thing to build!
