Grin factor

A quick reminder to anyone who's at a slow point in a rebuild

I enjoyed a very dry December Sunday afternoon in full sun today. The Commando reached a grin factor of 90/100 today

keep going!

Congratulations, Rob!

I'm really jealous! Whereabout on earth are you? Where are the riding conditions so fine in these days?
I made some bodywork on my Roadster tank which is awaiting new paint.

So long,
Andy

South England, got home before the rain fell- few spots on the tank. Cool avatar you've got there BTW.

Thanks Rob, it's a pic of the tank of my Café Commando. But I sold her last week to fund my new project.

- And I thought all the weather we've got over here comes from the island??? Weatherforecast always claims that.
So it might be sunny in southern Germany tomorrow! 8)

Must be nice. Bike's in the shop for this winter work already. This is the worst time of year in Manitoba. Too cold to ride and not enough snow for the sled. So now we just drink whiskey and star at our machines all night.

-17C here. Much colder than normal as it should be about -5C.

Only 4 more months of this crap!

Oh dear. The joys of living in the Northern hemisphere. It's 7am here, blue skies, not a cloud in sight and it's going to be about 23C today. Where am I going to ride the Norton today?

34 degrees C and I'm at work so it doesn't matter.

graeme.

8°C and it's raining. Too cold for painting the Roadster tank.
But at least we have no hole in the ozone layer..... :roll:

It just goes to show, you can't please everyone. In Dubai they're working on building an indoor ski mountain because ...well, they just don't get too many winter days in the dessert.

Last week we had several days where the wind speed in mph was almost twice the temperature (Fahrenheit). Today is gin-clear, no wind, daytime high expected to be about 34F.
