Great picture Chris. That was an uncharacteristically dull day for the island, rare to see a cloud here.  yes I was going to the grand stand to look at some bikes and the fella who take photos around the course was at taking pics on the mountain so looked on his web site and found the one of me and you can buy them as an email or a photo  think it was 26 aug last year! |

I hope your wife doesn't see this Bodie or she'll have you cleaning the oven. That is what I call meticulous cleaning, you've done a grand job there that Blade really is mint now.

You are a lucky man then Bodie. It's seem more of a light restoration your doing than just cleaning. I just normally clean the bits you can see The bike is a credit to you Bodie. |

oh well I am near the front now just the 3 hrs today on mainly the brakes!
 then I broke my tooth brush so back in doors and got another one!!
and don't worry I have got new heads for it
just incase you cannot tell the right one is the dirty one! then the hoses got a rub down as well
then lastly changed the breath filter it was in a bit of a state and is only 2 inches long and cost nearly £10
