Ahhhh but that's why the great motorcyclist in the sky invented the recorder, just so we could get up at the start of the day (7am earliest) and still watch our beloved bikes.
At least the prority was there....watch bikes first and then......sorry, the memory has gone again but I'm sure it was something about the female of the species.

Aaaaah the great motorcyclist in the sky never put Nigeria into the equation :dry:
We have power cuts,let me rephrase that :( we rarely get power supplied and so rely on generators, things on timers just do not work without a power supply and even with UPS backups for anything important in the house there is only a few minutes before the backup supply goes off :(
Another excuse for me to wake up early :S

Yes, the importance of back up systems have helped me a lot. I used to wake up at 4am every morning with a horrible bell sounding in my ear. As we don't have power cuts over here, I had to invent a back up system which I finally managed. I obtained a large sledge hammer and the following morning when I was awoken at 4am, the hammer hid the bell sounding machine and hey presto, I can now sleep until at least 7am
ps I still keep the back up system handy, just in case.
Anyway, now that it's a reasonable time, I'm off to work.

spent a few hours in the garage yesterday and got a fair bit done, i connected the cables to the oil pump and powervalve systems, fitted the endy can to the exhaust, and put the exhaust on. Put the disc on the front and fitted the front wheel. i put the rear tail piece on and fitted the breaks, fitted the fuel,tank and added fuel. The bike did run for a few minutes before it died. i have to bleed the brakes at some point and fit the headlight.
Pics of progress so far.

Hi Scott that's looking really nice
still not sure about those funny looking tyres and don't forget to bleed the brakes.
Now it's time to watch MotoGP
