As usual it wasn't very bikey. Instead I spent some time with the little 'uns, including my not so little 14 year old daughter Honour.
I did manage to alter the subframe on the shortened sidecar chassis I'm building for the rally I'm riding to in January. This entailed cutting and angle-grinding until late on Sunday evening, but none of the neighbours complained so all is well.

I've lowered it by 60mm and cut the struts to fit.
Me and Mr Makita (my angle grinder) had a magic moment when a long-ignored fraying of the power lead culminated in a dramatic explosion of sparks and the loss of power to the garage. That'll teach me ;)
I also managed to clear some of my junk out of one end of my garden which pleased Mrs Onepot a great deal. I'm in her good books atm.
Cheers
