Right

The engine is on the floor and the frame swingarm etc etc has just been picked up and is now on it's merry way to be powder coated.

I'll post pics once it is back

We spent the day stripping my bike down and now it is well and truly in bits!!!

Still have a few bits to do to get the frame and swingarm ready for powder coating so I know where I'll for the next few evenings!?

The swingarm pivot bolt was a minor pain to get out which took about 1 hour unfortunately I now need a new one due to not having a suitable tool to remove it but hey what the hell!!?

I'm aiming to get tthe painting done after Christmas and having the bike rebuilt by the end of Jan/early Feb

Well,

all you boyz playing with your toyz got me jealous.

Finished off the engine removal today so it's almost ready to go to Cornerspeed on Thursday.

Not quite doing what you chaps are going through (Powder-coating etc), but still, there is that certain feeling of numpty-fied achievement and self gratification when you get it done.....

Just need to get some milk, tea-bags and biccies in for Neil now.....
