Ooooooh
Big box arrives, the plot thickens

to throw the bike in before setting fire to it ?

Ooooooh

Keep the box for Nogs cat. Cats love boxes.

I suspect that box will be far too big for the apartment!! LOL But I have just sorted some stuff out and have emptied a couple of small boxes for her to play in. She's gone very quiet - hiding somewhere, so will now have to go look for her (with the box) to make sure she's ok! (Just realised she' been quiet for a while )






Found her - the bonus of her legs nearly always moving is that when she hides somewhere, I can usually hear her knocking on whatever she's hiding on!! LOL

What's in the box? I need updates. One day I will own an early Monster, keep adding them on the ebay watch list.

What's in the box?

'dont look in the box'

Anyway, we have run into our 1st proper problem.
In the box was the number plate bracket thingy, so I offer it up to the rear of the bike........nope, doesn't fit like that, or that, or that.
Had a chat with the internet and found out someone has chopped the back of the subframe off.
Bollocks!!!

Anyhow, a very nice man from Ireland has/is supplying the tail off his bike, so with a bit of sticky back plastic, we can fix it.

As the weather here has picked up a bit, thought I'd slap the first coat of lacquer on the tank.

Oi!! Hand is not shaky!! Feeble, but not shaky - so good for fueling and not so good if I had a BF!! But, TBF, petrol proof isn't a bad idea cos I is still a klutz


(Its the kitten that is shaky!!)

With your record for throwing bikes down the road, petrol proof is the least of your concerns

Down the road, only 3 in 18 years

But you aren't totally wrong

[Demannu]

Hurrah and bollocks in equal measures.
Better warm the arc sticks up
Big thank you to #vilicustoms who donated both the bit of frame and the postage costs.
So if there is an Instagram way of thanking someone, there's his hashtaggy type of thing

Hopefully my karmic bank account will be in serious credit after this!

Time to warm the welder up!

And after a small flock of pigeons have flown over!

Not the prettiest welding, but you can pick the back of the bike up with it!
Arc has never been my strong point!

[Demannu]

Looks alright!
