Willy gets the yellow one in my will. Would hate it if it didn't match his attire...

Son of Grenade needs to get going again. It snapped a belt doing a wheelie on the way to the last UKBEG part at Black Bear, then the paint on the tank bubbled and it sat being sad in the corner of the garage...

And it will get going...

Plans...

1. Put the little Honda in a corner (and wonder what possessed me to ever buy it)
2. Roll SoG onto the ramp
3. Get the frame off
4. Take the frame and (a set of) wheels to Aerocoat for their Nuclear Blue type finish
5. Lunch with Gibbsy
6. Put it all back together with black bodywork
7. Bond with it

FCUK off, that brand new black box came from me for buttons...

The Mikuni is staying and I'll invest time getting the ignition timing sweet (fore finger and thumb together, touching lips as kissing sound made).

May even treat myself to an S&S motor...
