Tick

[Ian Porter]

Paint's better, then?

Or do you mean just leave it as is?

no, just the 5 month wait to get it back

it's all good now but was very frustrating for a while

 

[Rubberchicken]

Ah, right. 5 months? Jeeze...

 

[hotbulb]

They had to grow the powder from seed, dry it, and then grind it into powder

 

[Ian Porter]

Ah, right. 5 months? Jeeze...

yeah, first man went AWOl, when we eventually gave up on him it was done in a week elsewhere

 

[Chewbadger]

Andy may have found a new powder coater Ian......

 

[Philwhiskeydrinker]

Anyway.

Tick-tock.

The unthinkable has happened...

























I've washed the bloody bike.

And it's surprisingly invisible actually, all over.

Some of the grot and grime around the sump area is going to need more to shift than the high pressure hose.
Though the rear wheel cleaned up surprisingly well with just a load of water, which makes sense as it's been replaced at some point so has less of a buildup:

Yuk, yuk, yuk.
It looked much better before Michael, all those years of hard work adding 'character' gone in a mad trigger happy moment

 

[Rubberchicken]

Rubbish Phil, other than the monoseat it looks no different than last week. I only got the superficial dirt off, most of the serious stuff is still there.

Still got both your hands Pete?

 

[Rubberchicken]

Speaking of, maybe I should let Chad borrow it for a week.

A week.??? Not even Chad can work miracles

 

[Rubberchicken]

He's kept your bike running so far...

 

[Lord Vader]

He's kept your bike running so far...

Not talking about the running but the cleaning

 

[Lowflyer]

Michel,

You clown, you've power washed the rubber chicken off

 

[Rubberchicken]

Nah, that's been off ever since I put the new red/white nose on the bike. I need to find a new chicken sometime, the old one is quite black and frankly bloody minging.

 

[Kjell Lindberg]

As usual the thread runs astray!
Get back into the tick/tock mode again!
And for Petes sake tells ut what You bought!

TICK! (or is it TOCK?)

 

[Rubberchicken]

Okay okay, I bought 2 coins for the pressure hose.

 

[Rubberchicken]

Tick, obviously.

 

[Rubberchicken]

Meanwhile, where did this 20deg weather come from?

Most civilised.

 

[Rubberchicken]

Me & my big mouth...
