I got a photo off the polisher today, rather pretty isn't it?



Now I need chance to get down there & collect all the bits as he doesn't work weekends.

A great job from the looks of it. Do you clear lacquer it to maintain the polished look ?

[Hooli]

I've never heard of anyone having much success laquering a well polished surface, it always seems to peal & flake. I'll just have to use it in the dry & keep it cleaned. If I start muttering about Meguiars polish & stuff then that's a call for help as I'd be turning into Barmy

What is that stuff the swing arm is sitting on ?
Oh yes, it's one of those old fashioned newspaper thingys !

Chip wrappers!

Not allowed to wrap chips in old newspapers anymore here, H&S moaning about the black ink!  All those years we ate chips from a wrapped parcel and we never died, we must have been the tough ones, reckon they're a bit more wimpy these days.

I can actually remember my old Nan having squares of The Daily Mirror, hanging on string for use as toilet paper in the outside toilet !

We were definitely bought up in a different era.

Fish and chips in a wrapper of either old news paper or butchers paper with loads of salt and vinegar that brings back great memories. Now it's cardboard boxes etc.
There's a place in Birkdale called Chumley Warners that does old school fish and chips. Fish in batter that you're not supposed to eat as it's poached the fish. Chips are soggy. We tried it we didn't like it.
My favourite fish and chips in the modern style is Kostas in Capalaba. 😋😋😋

Ignore me, wrong thread.

Although I did clean the sprocket carrier up today, I think I need to do it again though before I start building the bike up. There was an amazing amount of crusty old black crap from the chain on there, so the sprocket needs to come off for cleaning under it.
The rubber thing to protect the swingarm from the chain is now clean & ready to fit at least. I didn't get much done as my back was killing so no way I was moving bikes about to get to the other side or anything.

You need a decent sized shed Hooli, work bench etc. I don't understand how you northern blokes work outside or in cramped spaces.

I recall pic's of Hooli rebuilding Stroppy inside the house & on the kitchen table.  He's got plenty of room

You paying grog? land & anything associated with it is stupid money over here.

In the UK I never had more than a single garage, which like many of us was used to store stuff along with my bike. Working on the bike was done in that scenario, unless I could push it outside.

I'm fortunate to now live in a country where most people enjoy more space, and I have a bigger shed. After 20 yrs here, there are many things I don't take for granted.
