I was getting a little worried you were catching up to me Mike! Unlike me you seem to find suppliers that actually supply. :-o

I don't know the history but I feel you guys are picking on Wayno
on a "rotational" basis. I've got your back Wayno. :-D

I'm just happy I haven't given you nasty people the opportunity
to pick on me for my driving ability yet. :lol: :lol:

I wouldn't want to hang with anyone else to be honest.
This is what makes LSR the sport it is.

I got rid of all the custom Harley stuff on Thursday. The ex business
partner loaded the lot and a weight has been lifted. I took a knock
but there are more important projects to complete.

I'll be tiling the floor (something I've never done) in a room
attached to the workshop which will be the engine room.
I've always wanted a "clean" room so that I look and act professional. :wink:

You can't buy this kind of adventure and I don't care how much money you have.
The day I found this forum was a turning point and I'm better for it. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

I was watching an interview with Gary Player on TV last night.
You guys would blush if you heard what he had to say about America.

You guys rock in every way. I'm happy to have you all as friends and advisers on this roller coaster ride.

No BS, I mean this.

 :cheers: I like it. Life would be boring if we we're all dull.

The brace behind the roll cage is in.

It's pretty easy to remove. I cut one side of each clevis and welded them to the arms.
After loosening the bolts the system slides to the right and can be removed.

Tony, thanks so much.

It's been great talking to you by phone. Thanks for calling.

Took a break from the every day stuff and did some work on the
Simpson.

My friend Ashley is a great artist but the last time he painted
my helmet it came back looking great but the design I'd had since 1981
was gone.

We came to an agreement that I'd do the airbrush work and he'd do the pin striping
and the clear coat.

We put on a base coat of silver sparkle and flatted it with 1200 water paper.

I did the masking using the laser level. The hoops are straight as they'll ever be
and I'll lie when he sees it and tell him I just eye balled it. :-D :-D :-D

I gave it a few coats of clear blue and will be following it up with
flake, something I haven't done before and can't wait to see the outcome.

   Mike , Is it an SA 2010 ? The Snell rating SA 2005 expires Jan. 2017. [The helmet doesn't expire, only the rating]. It's a lawyer thing.
