.…. it’s my life.

It’s not just a hobby, it’s my passion.

It’s not for everyone, it is for me.

TK at Calder park raceway with the Yamaha XS1 racer.

Fast forward nearly 50 years. Reproduction Yamaha XS1 racer …. same rider.

The Procrastinators gathered at Andy’s on 9 October so that Steve could get some engineering work done to get his ride on mower usable for spring, so that I could get a mobile solar panel wiring problem fixed (that’s a euphamism for Jules soldered it and stuffed it up!), and more importantly, so we could have a damn good catch up with plenty of banter. And as an unexpected bonus Andy cooked us a delicious lunch with the nicests steak I’ve had in a very long time.

Below: some pics of the BSA Gold Star that Andy is building / restoring.

And steak – prior to potatoes and onions being added!

Thanks fellas for a great day and especially Andy for sharing you skills so readily.

Andy built this device to tumble broken windscreen glass around the interior of old motorcycle tanks prior to sealing them.

And yet another BSA in the background

Steve has given his Commando new paint. He used two-pack with lots of clear coat. It looks fantastic and the color really suits it.
