Bumper is on

Looking good that mate.
I'm sat at home waiting for postie to turn up with my top end gasket set, should have the 3 door up and running again today with any luck.

Looking good, I do like tubular stuff. Word of warning however, my first HD rear bumper was mounted just to the standard mounts, I ended up ripping them off as they are very flimsy, I cut them off and used some 4mm angle and bracing to make new mounts which would actually take a tug, I wouldn't want to be snatching of the standard bumper mounts...

They are open on the 1st, if anybody is up for it. I may make it this time, without braking something just before.
Essex Off Road - Pay and Play Events, corporate days

Any one up for some lanes this evening?

Also, I'm thinking of repainting my 90.... any flashes of inspiriation? If not I will probably paint it nato green again...

No, them 2 shackles are kin big. The path is made of 300mm slabs, so that give you an idea how long/big thing's are.

Laning day!!!!
Friday 6th (easter Friday).
I'm happy to sort route, thinking about thetford.
Will need to keep to groups of 5 or less. If there's too many of us. I could email the overlay to the 2nd group leader and then Keep the two groups half an hour apart.

Anyone want to join me?
