Finished
Powerwashed, bleached the green off it, Re concreted all the missing bits and gaps. 4 coats of paint on the walls and 2 on the metal.

And it's only Wednesday ?
 
lol. not too bad, but am thinking of making a run for it.lol, luckily the sans gone in for now but when it warms at the weekend its going to be hard.lol
Well you had me, my stomach churned....I?m getting cabin fever and can see me slipping away for a 5am run!
I?ve consoled myself with ordering a load of tools from amazon to give me something to do in the garage. But, that <600 mile deristricted gen3 is sitting there with it?s mirrors folded :-( I?m not sure I?m going to be able to resist...
 
Guys no jokes one of my mates took delivery of a New R1 and went out on Monday to put some miles on it and got stopped in a petrol station in Chelmsford, Asked him where he was off too he said off to work..They asked him where he worked he said London, They said be honest you have no rucksack and in full leathers. He said ok im just out to put some miles on her. They said that is not acceptable and not your daily excercise.. They have taken bike for 6 weeks and he got a ?200 fine. He kicked off and nearly got nicked too. Seems some Police are using there powers

The grounds that its WHOLLY unnecessary.
You crash you end up needing a bed currently occupied by a covid sufferer. And get dumped in a hospital and barred from seeing anyone for 2 weeks.

Laugh, I was in the middle of a house move with the house half packed.... fridge freezer empty. Had to unpack stuff like the TV for my sanity.

Even after a minor off you might end up in A&E, which as well as stretching NHS resources you will be putting yourself at greater risk of getting COVID-19.
 
Excellent work by your daughter Stuart. Is she interested in engineering?
 
great work Stuart my 8 year old daughter helps me with my garage toys ,how do you rate that bike lift ?
