    Wow, you're going to need a bigger shed! Or at least a couple less bikes taking up room....

    It's going to be 38 deg's on Saturday - I think you will find yourself friendless in that heat!

    What have i done to my bike today? Not enough. Most of my time spent working on my bike means waiting for parts or waiting for money. The other 1% is working on my bikes.

    It's pretty much over 30 all day, if not all night, too. And summer is only just starting. Our place got a shower of rain (sparse, you had to be in just the right spot), enough for puddles and even a little run of water! It'll probably be dried up by 7am.

    I feel like about my job (motorcycle mechanic shop): today was particularly unproductive with the boss away and between the phone and the door, I changed a tyre and brake switch. I might go to work tomorrow just to get something done with doors closed and phone ignored! Might take my bike to work on, too...

    I put a chain and sprockets on the VTR, tried to free the front master cylinder but joining a working one to it, but I only managed to break the brake lever. Going to have to grease gun it. Once the brakes are sorted, it'll go for sale.

    I reassembled the TTR and listed it for sale - even went for a test ride to check on the cattle.

    I'm having a bit of a sell up: I can't keep doing project bikes, they've got to go!

    So it's normal for 4 strokes to have about an egg cup full of oil there ? That's strange. And yes it's mostly been two strokes I've played with

    Yes, and then you can get out and do some riding. What has happened to your trip to Tasmania?

    So much for my plan. I did list another bike for sale yesterday, haven't sold it, but today I bought another project. :headbang::idk:
    :help:

    Time and money poor.. need sell aforementioned bikes. Got to pay down some debt first, I guess. Dad is talking about going to Victoria, maybe I could incorporate my trip with his...

    I sold it! Well, one of my bikes. Next: air-cooled KDX 200 or VTR. Be sad to let the KDX go, but I have a few other choices left.

    Hmm, maybe I could turn the other VTR into a scrambler thing? Front wheel is no good, I have spare bike parts play with, maybe a full dirt bike conversion... Or sell it for parts. I've got plenty to fill my holidays without that.

    Ummm.....

    Then I'll have to get a tank that doesn't resemble a golf ball, and tyres and brake master cylinder and.... Want another VTR to wreck?
