I saw Mikey today & this does look good 'in the flesh'............


........... On the way out of Mikey's workshop, passing the back door of the house, I stopped to say a quick hello to Mrs Mikey (and drop off the remainder of the Dark Chocolate Digestive's that Mikey & me couldn't finish. :oops:)
Anyhow, it seem's Mikey has been giving the paint an 'oven baked finish'............ Which Mrs Mikey ain't too happy about. :ek :fou :hon

And heres the bottom one just got to wait for the crankcase bolts
to come back from plating, (yes even i got to wait ) and i can start
putting the motor back together and get it back in the frame
and really start putting it all back together.
