    Torque Wrench

    I agree your tool set is abit sad, but just think of all the fun you can have going shopping now

    I have and am still buying tools when ever Aldi has them on sale. I only have 1 piece that I do not like out of all the ones I have bought ( and only because the battery doesn't hold the charge as well as I think it should).

    I like the clicking wrenches they make things so easy - the ones that have like an insert in the round bit open end is the same.

    There is a set that you can use around corners that is next on my list

    Just a Flood update

    Brisbane has flooded, but the water didn't rise as high as they thought it would. If it would have rained for another 2-3 hrs the way it had been it would have been a lot worse. We were 800 mm on the dam away from a lot bigger flood then what we have now.

    I am safe and dry

    Finally found the answer to my fork problem, bought a new set today including new brakes. Had a nice chat to the exhaust man, what a lovely bloke that guy is he understands women. So the bike is semi booked in to get that taken care of in 3 weeks, I better get cracking so I am done by then.

    sorry never in the Front room, that is the emergency parking space for when the thunderstorms roll in and there is hail in the forecast.

    I will work out today how to post the 2 pics I have of the fairing I just bought. No point putting up pics of the bike when it's in bits all over the place.

    I don't think it was ever a threat......

    Welcome along, I'm sure the testosterone will subdue soon, and they can all get back to normal 'bloke talk'

    I had a friend who moved back to Brisbane, it's only a small place, maybe you know him ?

    he just read this and said " if you had to share the garage with me you would understand why it is a threat"

    Brisbane is not that small :)

    Got any pics ?, sounds like an interesting build.

    No pic's yes not until it's all finished.

    the fairing is a Police special that will give me full protection on face and arms and the speedo tach cluster comes from the same bike . It even has a thingy on there that will tell me my speed or what it was when I pushed that button

    Well I finally managed to tear up one of his tools, but that is what you get when you buy the tiny things. Now I can play with the new shiny thing, its the tools you clean the crud out of the cylinder. All 4 are now nice and shiny once again.

    Gaskets have been ordered from the US that should only take 3 weeks or so to get here. I just bought a set of fairings and a new set of gauges ( speedo, tach) they should get here next week.

    Slowly but surely it's comming along, just need to find a few more minor bits and I am all set as far as I can tell.

    OK... I'm New

    I did google those and realized way to late I shold have done this at 3: 30 in the morning and NOT when he is up and around. Now I have the nice task of steering his mind back to where it should be his FJ....lol

    They do look different

    Nice bike you have there.

    Wow, warm sunshine. Yes please.

    Welcome to the Forum

    I think wow warm rain would be a much better description. We are drowning and more rain is on it's way. If this were snow we would beat them poms by at least 50 cm.

    Ok I am off to the wreckers once again, lets see if I can get a better result today since I am bringing " samples"...lol
