Those damn grey imports will put all of our traditional sweet shops out of business :wink:

Today I fitted more carbon bling which looks well though I say it myself and perhaps shoulden't. An alternator cover which came from Spain via E bay.
Carbon is well made but bl***y screw holes didn't line up properly, luckily
hubby machined points on the 5mm set screws with his lathe.

Nowt wrong with playing in the shed - just spent today re-building my old mountain bike ready for winter use - damn thing ends up costing me money and it shouldn't cos it's a WINTER bike! In between fettling, I was polishing me Y piece (waiting for the comments!). I was actually supposed to be TIDYING me shed, but ho hum I love playing in me shed!!
