In the garage this last month - the main focus is on the Mini moto´s, the season kicks off as soon as the weather and temps allow - so Ive been getting the boys bikes ready

Travis dm - bzm - ready for a new paint job and fiber glass fix

  

 I went snowboarding a month or so ago and wiped out, the result - I tore the AC ligaments and chipped the end of my left collar bone,  so I couldn't use my shoulder and arm for the last 5

 1 week before we took a break - Dubai  Atlantis......Fantastic

me and suz at Atlantis

 And look what finally turned up! Yes my wheels, its been a long wait as I ordered these in 2014 -

I soon had them un wrapped and test fitted, clearance looked really good, and I have room between the wheel and spring plate now, result - soon I was taking them down to Henning´s place in Enköping and getting him to flip my old boots on to these new rims, then back to the garage to get them on the bus and get the bus back on the floor..... I really like them - cheers bro ; )

 

 I broke out my airbrush, set it up and started to play again - fun to mess around with on the Boys bikes.

in a couple of nights I had Travis´s bike all fixed up and looking fresh for the start of the year

I also got the front seat over to a local trimmer, he will fix the cover, im now waiting for him to call to get me to pick up the frames which will need a bit of sprucing up .
