Big C and Big D

So where have I been and what about these motorbikes?! Well, my girl was diagnosed with cancer November. About 3 weeks after we found out she was pregnant. Headfuck. The darkest and longest winter followed. Now as of yesterday chemo is done and touch wood all day long, the baby is still in there. Crazy.

Fair play Linus. She's small but she's strong! x

I had big plans for the Z and the trump but had to put all that on hold while we got through. But now we're getting back on course I'm sneaking back out into the cave. I got about a month before it's baby cack and sleeping lack all over again.

So. To get started. I wanted to put the electrics on the Z into something a little more water-proof than a canvas army bag... I had an oil tank kit laying around for the trump so decided to use it for now and replace when the time comes. Should look like pucker tank while hiding the ugliness of a battery... Maybe I should just get rid of the battery... Anyway - first up - put a starter button into the filler cap. I was eying up my old 20 quid ebay drill press for the job when Big Dan saw the imminent disaster and stepped in with an offer of getting it on the lathe... and what a fine job he done. Marvelous.

Big thanks to Big D and a massive FUCK YOU to the Big C.

    Best of luck to you all, see you soon.
