I'm most impressed by your Shackleton's high chair in your garage. It looks lovely you know.....

@TLP. .. your garage is more like a padded room with the amount of time you spend in there with your bike in bits trying to find out what's wrong

I've never had a bike in that many pieces all at once, even after crashing.

Guess I'm a weird
anything I buy usually ends up in bits!
BTW, the sofa is to sit and ponder when I'm stuck!

Yeah, but no, but yeah, I'd do the same if I had a Central Heating Radiator in my garage.
So then lots of photos to show us the gruesome bits, the shiny bits and how it all fits together

I like the black frame and engine. Scientific tests carried out at the University of Cleverness have proven quite unequivocally, that changing from silver to black is better.
It's known as a fact now.
