Very nice Charlie, You say you put the receipts somewhere, I think I'll try that. Now where did I put those other receipts?

They'll be 'somewhere safe', She'llbe. Mine are 'somewhere safe'.
Safe from perusal is best. The numbers must be awful.

If you look, there's wood on there. Chuey

I see, and it's giving me wood!

Gidday fellas,

Charlie great job, you should be very proud of the end result and as you sit back with a drink in hand staring at all your hard work give yourself a good pat on the back as there is not a better feeling than what you have just done knowing that you will now get many more years of reliable service from your bike.....
Congrates and enjoy...

Chuey's wood is giving you wood?

I'll bet his custom exhaust has a nice bark!

Love the wood, Chuey. And I'm pining (even cedaring) to give Dougie more wood.

Brun got her first wood yesterday - I needed some knobs for the new individual enricher stalks, and happen to have a bunch of old ebony violin tuning pegs. I've always carried a couple - they are perfect for plugging fuel lines, and the offcuts will continue in that role ...



Ignition key also got a bit of customising with an old Bakelite knob ...



And Brun's battery got a new s/s strap. She's never had a strap before ...



Where will it all end? By the way, in that top photo you'll notice a fat black cable heading in an odd direction. This is the old tacho cable, no longer required but still happily revolving. I could remove it, but keep thinking that it should be used somehow. I could fit attachments to it. A paint stirrer? Toothbrush? Maybe a wooden propeller out the front under the headlight? Pondering continues ...

ps: Grant, ol' chap - thanks mate. I do like to sit back and look at the result. She's always been the most battered looking bike at any gathering, but no less loved for that. I am a bit worried that this tart-up will lead to an OCD cleaning fetish. I'll get over that pretty soon, I reckon.

Never thought about it before, but it is a PTO, isn't it?

Airbear has "a bunch of old ebony violin tuning pegs".
You know who has "a bunch of old ebony violin tuning pegs"?
Only cool people, that's who!

If nothing else, it could modified into a heck of a pipe cleaner!
