G’day, How’s your bum for grubs?
« on: July 16, 2021, 05:20:09 AM »
Hello- another Aussie joins the ranks🥸. I have a nude K75rt in my shed. It’s been there a year or three and I am very slowly fixing her up. Done a few bits and pieces of meaningful work on her and now I’m on to more elective surgery.  She has a low seat set up which I will one day convert to a normal seat if the money fairy 🧚‍♀️ waves her wand in my direction.  If I get 3 wishes I also want to take off the ABS and get a set of new old instruments as my odometer gears have turned to mush. Finally her lovely fuel tank has a lovely dent in it which makes people think that I was the one that dropped her but it wasn’t me (honestly).  I also have 95 Yammy xj600s which I’m also working on. Just rebuilt her Mikunis and now have to make a manometer to balance them up. So that’ll probably  never work againI call them both she but I’ve been told that they are just machines really! Hmmph   Anyway hello everyone thanks for letting me into the forum. I am here to get some help and suggestions about how to do this and that and find out what your up to. And despite being a troglodyte I am keen to catch up with other Aussies with a Besser brick🧱 and have a yarn. All the best

Slowlyfix it,

Now I get that, me too.

"G’day, How’s your bum for grubs?"

I have no clue what that means, but sounds fun?

If you get the K75 running the yammy may end up being evenslowerfixitup

Wellcome
