[mikeyboy]

Tomorrow evenings job,
Far to messy to do inside.

 

[Mad Hatter]

Very nice. Was that elbow grease or did you use a polishing machine?

 

[mikeyboy]

Polisher,
I hate doing it ,
Messy job,but the results are worth it,even if it only looks like that for a few weeks

 

[Tinytim]

Wonderful Mikey.

Messy job,but the results are worth it,even if it only looks like that for a few weeks

When I served my apprenticeship as a tinsmith there used to be a guy whose job was to polish stuff on a machine a bit like a giant bench grinder with calico mop wheels on it. He used various grades of abrasive soap to get a mirror finish. He stood at that machine for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, year in year out, that was all he did. I could never understand how anyone could do that type of work permanently. Like you say it was a filthy job. God knows what his lungs were like…

Someone’s going to get a lovely bike!

 

[mikeyboy]

Got some tyres fitted,and the wheels are in.

 

[Udders]

£10k for that is an absolute steal! It’s basically a brand new ( improved ) bike!
Someone is going to be a very happy bunny!

 

[mikeyboy]

Up on skyhooks to fit the sump,stands,exhaust and all the other jobs that are a pain if the bike is on its wheels
