Hey guys
I'm going at work everyday, see a lot of people on the streets and tell them to dispere and go home, checking if the pubs and restaurants are closed... not a nice job these days...
For those who have the virus: take good care of yourself! Beware when you think things are going better, a few days later you might end up in a hospital, it's a nasty virus!

I started to paint the parts and the frame of the GPZ1100 B2 I'm working on. Perhaps soon a few pictures to show the progress.

For all those in the UK: take care and do as they say in Flanders: "Blijf in uw kot ! " ( Stay indoors ! ).
Greetings from Belgium

Lucky lads, I'm still at work fixing pushbikes. Busiest we have been all winter as people off work want to exercise or commute.

I read not to take Ibruprofen, as it aggregates it, check with doctor if necessary. Bestest wishes for a speedy recovery.

Fitting a loo and sink in the downstairs cloakroom so we can use that room to decontaminate when we come intro the house..
Then I'll be getting on with finishing off a z900 restoration and an engine rebuild on a z1000a1. After that, I'll see..

Taking things apart that don't need be to taken apart, cleaning them, then putting them back together again. All vital stuff to avoid the job list the missus has for me.

Must be bored - I've cleaned the windows downstairs (only outside - my sister can do inside) and also cleaned her car!!! At least it's only a Mini.
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

Trying to work from home with a house full of grumpy females and useless IT.

Suns out though, and the nieghbour has run out of things to mow and pressure wash and obviously can't think of anything else constructive to do so he's stopped making a fu**ing racket.

If he starts pressure washing his drive for the third time in 24 hours I'll start my open piped two stroke bsa bantam sprinter up and show him what a real racket sounds like. Mix the fuel/oil 15:1 too so it smokes like a bonfire too.

That'll really cheer the grumpy females up too. They love a house full of dirty two stroke fumes.

Happy times.
