For those of you following my ongoing "project" to
build an Enduro Bike, (See last Novembers entry!)
will empathise with todays unexpected events!
First the GOOD news! Having sourced my engine (You
can't go wrong with single cylinder Honda!) John Crookes
(JC Motorcycles at yate! - Pardon the plug!) spent ages drilling
out a siezed engine mount bolt, (after finding that a combination of heat,
thin oil, numerous drill bits and VERY foul language was the key!) I
collected it, and let my friend Lewis begin the clean up operation!
(Watch this space!)
The chosen frame has been shot blasted and cleansed of all the old
paint and rust! I (rather excitedly) collected it and came back to begin
spraying!.....
Now thew BAD news! I primed it, and all looked good....I gave it 3 coats
of white.... TO FIND BOTH PAINTS INCOMPATABLE AND IT PEELED OFF!
:-( Back to the shot blaster again tomorow!!
