Winter seems tobe finally loosening its grip here in the SW, I got the bike out of the shed without fear of falling over on the ice and managed to get the shed roof insulated, didn't get rained on either !
A tin roof generates a whole lot of condensation in winter and the bike has suffered .
If the wather forecast holds true then I will get my new cans fitted and out for the first blast of the year tomorrow :smt002

I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"

Still using the Triumph daily up here in the Shire. Falco sorned for the first time as I'am making a new fairing out of alloy with single head light. Still need to get pair of mirror base clamps off a Tuono if they will fit before I can get her back on the road for April.
If it's not done today , there's always tomorrow.

This explains.

Can I post Images?
Images can indeed be shown in your posts. However, there is no facility at present for uploading images directly to this board. Therefore you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.some-unknown-place.net/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor to images stored behind authentication mechanisms such as Hotmail or Yahoo mailboxes, password-protected sites, etc. To display the image use either the BBCode [img] tag or appropriate HTML (if allowed).
