    Been busy getting the Rgv ready for the Track.
    Finished sorting out radiator leaks, stuffed thermostat and whatnot, loaded it up with distilled water and got it running sweet.
    Everything is good.
    Just got do do a road test to make sure shifter positioning is good and then a final re tighten of all bits and ready for the first track run in 2 weeks.

    Popped out the old wheel bearings, once again a job I put off as too hard was so incredibly easy....
    One day I will learn that lesson haha.

    Ordered nice shiney genuine Yamaha parts... I have totally converted to factory parts over aftermarket. It's all just so damn nice!

    Thoughts on the paint job? Unfortunately the picture doesn't do it justice.
    The tyres that are on it are junk as well, serving the last of their life as paint shields haha

    Spent most of the day rebuilding the oil pump for the Enfield. It had been sitting with water in it and took a while to get apart. Cleaned up ok, but took quite a bit to get it primed with a battery drill as the pump turns at twice engine speed and the old drill was flat out at 1800rpm.

    Rode the DRZ with a clogged pilot. 80 miles of city riding didn't unclog it just as I expected.

    Changed the rear shock. For a change, it wasn't that hard, and nothing broke. Now ready to rock and roll for next weekend.

    Didn't do anything to my bike yesterday; went to the MotoGP! Super keen to take the NSR there now. I've watched the race many times on TV but the actual track on the ground looks so good.
