Crash Bars, Centre Stands and Chocolate!

Crash bars and centre stands have finally arrived although a week late and therefore necessitating a rendezvous with a Romanian in a white van in Golders Green to collect them!

Although well made, the instructions are poor and what I thought would be a two hour job takes five. Thankfully the Romanians have anticipated this and have included two bars of Romanian rum flavoured chocolate - chocolate presumably to keep the energy levels high and rum to dull the pain of countless skinned knuckles sustained trying to fit the things!

Martin, as you will be aware, is sunning himself alongside Lake Como; truly a blessing!

Saturday sees the transformation of my bike from this...............

To this...........

Martins is completed Sunday.....

and both bikes are now crated awaiting collection on Wednesday.
