OK, I know we can be a pack of miserable foccers but today I feel good because I went out in the cold and bled my car brakes.... What's so good about that you ask?....well I thought I needed to fit a new servo or master cylinder which would have been a complete pita.
So, feeling good.
What made you feel good today?..(not expecting a busy thread!)
Come on guys... pretend to be happy...
Turned the key pressed the starter the fz1 fired up first button she ain't been started since before xmas. A service, strip clean brakes and another year of big smiles.

Finishing this little baby this evening, completely rebuilt with new clutch plates and back together.
To be honest (Oh! it a Honda C90 lump) the engine is in very good condition, it has done just under 30K mile from new 1989 Honda G90-G Cub.
Have had a great time rebuilding it and polishing the nuts off the engine cases.
That is what made me feel good today, and, when I go out into my workshop tomorrow I will feel good all over again.
Modified: Shit just noticed the green Crocks I look like Kermit :rolleyes
A friend of mine told me about the plight of a poor African kid with severe disabilities who has to ride a completely dilapidated bike with only one pedal 6 miles each morning just to fetch water.
On his way home he falls off all the time because of the heavy load.
Anyway, I feel good because I sent my friend £5 and he sent me the video.

Managed to achieve 58N/cm adhesion rubber to polyester fabric in the lab today. The manager and I have been trying different components and compounds for months and we finally cracked it. Customer spec only requires 30 N/cm so yeah, that felt good?
After making a concerted effort since the new year... I pulled on my trousers this morning and the belt buckle went in a notch... Maybe get my bike pants on again!!

Last Friday, (ok not quite today) riding back from a particularly disappointing experience at my local hospital (my back is not looking good...) I ended up a bit behind a guy on an 05 plate Fazer 6. He got pulled out on by some gonk in a mini, and catching up with him (the Fazer) at the lights, I comiserated with him for the antics of the mini driver. "Yeah, yeah, but.." says Mr Fazer, smiling like a loon, "it's my second day back on a bike after 16 years", his face lit up with a grin the size of Leeds. "I just got this, it's brilliant!" The happiest bloke in ALL of Yorkshire, he was. Properly made my day. And you sir, If you're reading this, GET IN! [/size]
