Friday night was spent at a leaving do for the office manager with drinking starting at 4pm and the curry kicking in at 7. Funny things, office parties, I mean you only know each other because you work together and that's no guarantee of friendship, but it turned out to be a cracking night.
Saturday had me up early to get my run out the way before I set too swapping the swingarm over on the VX. Everything came apart easily enough and the sprayed-up second hand one went in sweet as a nut. Grief came when I had to re-fit the rear calliper though. The previous owner had sheered off the bleed nipple and bodged a repair by aralditing a bolt in the hole!
God only knows how he bled the system. After some serious head scratching I tapped out the calliper to take an 8mm bleed nipple (should be a 7mm one) and have stuffed another bolt in the hole while I wait the items arrival from ebay. By using my finger I've managed to get most the air out and get some sort of rear brake for now.
Sunday was birpyday!
Spoilt rotten by loving wife & offspring to include a full monty breakfast, trips to the pub, cake and wine.
Back to earth with a bump today, but who cares, I've a good weekend in the bank.
