Nut and bolt rebuild over the closed season, new leading links, modified headstock, a tweak here a tweak there....... endless spannering. Sterling efforts by John (when he is not working on other peoples machines :roll: ) and Karl.

9 hours to bleed the brakes , AP - calipers what a load of kack......

And a nice shiney new coat of paint. Any negative comments about the green then - get stuffed ;) .

Note to Eddy - look no moss in between the blocking paving :D

Only 9 hours ? - I spent about 3 weeks on ours until I designed - and constructed the "Patent AP Brake Bleeding Jig" - bled the bu**ers in about 5 mins then... :D

Off topic ;) , try & get hold of a 240v Vac pump, you just suck the fluid through in minutes.

Welcome to the green side Mike.

I'm glad John had enough time left to finish it.

Mike remind me how to show you the way to bleed brakes in minutes, and I dont use a vacuum pump. Your bike looks good though, but will it stop ??

Eddy, please show Mike the correct method of bleeding the brakes, And then he can tell you how to look after your Block driveway.

If anyone needs a Vac pump, I might be able to "find" a couple at work. ;)
