Fooken neeeeeow!!

A blog! Marvelous! I wonder if my team of wayward, reprobatious cock ends will make any more entries into this than the shameful efforts that were made with Ram It Racing.co.uk, which will soon be getting switched off. I doubt it, but I can live in hope. Misplaced hope, that will no doubt be dashed, like Dan’s promises to build a “smart looking” bike after giving his previous steed’s frame a jaunty twist or a guarantee from Jennings to leave the last biscuit for you.

Now we have two more non-contributors to not read non entries from, in the form of the technically obsessed Pipey and the “turn up and ride it” Matt Foo, who still sees the mintwin class as the way ahead. He does weigh as much as a small bungalow, so maybe it’s best.

Updates from myself are minimal really. I’ve been offshore for the last two weeks, so christmas has been, well, shit. and progress on the bike front is nil.
Prior to being away, My TZR was completely dismantled and every single piece lovingly cleaned and placed on a pristine white sheet ready for reassembly.

I’m having a go at spraying my frame and swinging arm black, rather than going the powder coat route. I’m beginning to understand why people who spray paint charge what they do. The spraying part takes no time at all, it’s the prep and clean up that are the ball ache. We’ll see how it turns out, if I can sand out the massive runs I put on before I came away.
Engines are at Mr. File’s, who says the lump that did the Manx is in fine condition, which is nice. The shitter that I left with him that I bought off ebay turns out to be an untouched gem, which is also nice. The bill to make it a missile will no doubt be a trifle disappointing, but I’ll deal with that later…..
I’m going to have another go at building a brake set up with a standard caliper after the discussions on the forum. I think I’ll try an R6 master cylinder when I get round to buying one.

That’s about it I guess.

I hope all your christmas’ were good and you’re set for a good new year. I’m off to catch a helicopter.

Love Sqwelch.
