I too know what you mean about polishing becoming addictive

I also admired your heated garage or workshop

Chris.

Yes, my little workshop is my little refuge - I don't have to tell you how much I enjoyed the long winter evenings in company with my pet camel . And the cold beer was just outside the window :wink2

Good work

Can't beat working on the bike with a cold beer to finish off with after

had to re register for some reason..
that was my bike and i see you tarted her up a bit,and must say she still looks luvly and those forks are cool....

Right, that's it!
Forks are off, and while I'm changing the oil I'm having a go at this polishing lark- that is, if the old hammer drill clamped in a vice holds out

(it's getting a bit hot- probably because the rag I've wrapped round it to hold it firmly is blocking the air holes, now I come to think of it).

I'm going to lacquer a clear coat over the lower leg once it's done, as I ride every day, and can't be bothered to polish after every ride.

Piccy's once done.

I'll be watching this space Tony to see all your hard work

Chris.
