Servicebiatch confronts new project
 
First in series of pics showing the delights and pitfalls of owning and running a grey import.

Pic 1 showing the proud owner of a GReg NC30 clad in rather fetching red coveralls with Haynes manual grasped tightly in her left hand whilst wiping away a speck of dust from her new steed.



I am sure you will all subscribe to this thread and not wish to miss the continuing pictorial saga of the blonde landlady with the monkey wrench.

Thats my Missus in the GARAGE!!!!!!
Whats going on???:eek: :eek: :eek:

Brent 07-Nov-2006 21:46

Very fetching indeed James. I'm sure they won't stay that clean. Are you sure that's not a game pie cookbook there though! :D:D

Look forward to seeing SB and NC very soon.

Sharpy G 07-Nov-2006 21:46

Pic No 2 in the series.



Clandestine picture taken through rear garage door of blonde landlady enthralled by workings of japanese engineering.

Very interesting to see a Triton there as well, even if it is still registered as a 1954 Norton 650, but at least its on the road.
Very nice looking blasting cabinet and spraygun too :)

skidlids 07-Nov-2006 22:36

I've seen that bike before.
Luckily Honda did officially import the NC30 model into this country so bits should be obtainable through official dealers and failing those the likes of Dave Silver Spares or those specialising in imports like Elliots.

I have a 12.8mb parts manual in PDF I can email if your interested

All parts removed from bike carefuly labelled and stored for re-assembly in near future (yeah right).

Monty 07-Nov-2006 22:47

Triton looks like it has a Manx back wheel as well-could even be a Manx chassis?

John-I'm old me...........

This is what you get when you let a blonde bimbo in a red coverall loose on a previously road worthy NC30!!



And to add insult to injury she leaves the Haynes manual propped up on the depleted remains of a once cherished motorcycle.

I'd stand more chance of staying alive if I was to ride my bike in the ice up a one way street the wrong way at rush hour. :o

Triton is gorgeous and sounds wonderful, we went to all sorts of Autojumbles and places to get decent bits :frog:

YOU more than likely have. I bought a Haynes Manual for the NC30 at Kempton but I'll leave it to my "Workshop Manager" to decide if it would be good to have what you've got :lol: :lol:

Florence 08-Nov-2006 07:40

Well I think the conspiracy overnight has been defended by myself quite well now :) Having worked in a bike dealership in the Parts Dept, Service Dept and ended up as Sales Manager my experience dealing with the opposite gender did me good :devil: :lol: :lol:

Oh yeah James T and Doogalman, remember I will not be alone in the garage for much longer as the other lodger joining soon is also a "WOOOOOMAN" and rides and also currently works in a bike dealership. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED:devil:
