Oh dear...

That new job turned into a nightmare. It was all going well for a good few months, I was loving it. Lots to do ,very challenging, and then doubts started to sneak in. In turns out the guy that actually owns the company has a history of asset stripping, not paying suppliers and going insolvent.

Anyway, that isn't what this blog is about, but I now find myself jobless and without the means to spend cash on a hobby. So the bike is on hold, though if a do have to cash in the endowment to live off, maybe a complete old Honda for parts wouldn't make such a large dent...

I don't know how some people sleep at night. 100 people are now without income and jobless during one of the worst recessions in modern history, whist there is a very wealthy twat sunning himself on his big yacht in south Spain. Arse.

Anyway, check out this legend;

Oh Bugger!

Good news and bad.

I bought a fantastic pair of perfect ace bars from eBay for £10.50. Thats the good news.

The bad news is that the new kick start I bought from the same source is the wrong one. Not only that but after spending a few hours polishing up the front wheel I pulled the drum plate off to have alook at the brake pads, cleaned the whole thing up and then spotted a little Yamaha sign on the inside of the drum plate. Bugger!

I think it is going to be cheaper and easier to buy another complete bike and canabalise it for bits.

That's it for now, new job stops play...
