My tank got a pin hole in it. Lucky I had another one laying around.
Trouble is its been laying around that long the left over fuel had turned to varnish .
With quite a lot of surface rust inside. Only discovered this yesterday.
So its clean up time . Hopefully I'll get it done by Saturday .

Get to it Darran. I've been coming home early a few days this week trying to get my bike back together, Sat is nearly here

Today's weather forecast is predicting 28c and partly cloudy for Sat.   How good is that.  Time to start tidying up the bike.

Got my panniers more or less finished today, well the side ones anyway. They came up alright I think. Had a mate tig weld the broken top box mounts, now have to strip/repaint them. Will give them a trial run on Saturday.

Well after spotting the above post I decided to get my priorities straight.(Nothing like a bit of motivation) 
So I ditched work and got into cleaning the tank.

I used this method found in the files section .Rust in the fuel tank.
Only did the cleaning method .Didn't do the lining.
Unbelievable how much fine particles or rust came out.

So I'm good to go.
LB and I will meet you all at the Mapleton View Café.

LB coming as well too, cool

So how many is that for the ride so far.... 11   I'm bringing the gopros again, so no sloppy riding anybody.

One of these days I'm going to remember to take THAT corner in the right gear!

Good to see you all again...... if not before, see you all at Grafton.

What a great day and good company. Watching Doug scooting around corners on his XS1100 chair was very entertaining
