Pick a colour, any colour...

Well the weather and the lack of decent waterproof gear turned our bike tour of Wales into a car tour instead.  A real shame as the route we took was stunning, a get drive that would have made a stunning ride.  Definitely a 2 wheeled re-run of the route pencilled in for the future some time I think..

My bodywork repairs and respraying have reached a junction.  Turns out the paint on the bike  has faded significantly since new and the colour matched paint I bought, although close, is just not right.  So, I've started toying with the idea of giving the whole lot a brand new coat instead.  I got a right side fairing off eBay for £30 in much better condition than mine (minor scratches instead of scars and cracks) and have been playing with a few colours in photoshop...

.. we'll see.  Maybe I'll go with his and hers Yellow bikes!  

I also got my iPhone mount through today from RAM, thanks to work blagging me a freebie in the name of project research!  Result!!  We'll see this weekend if it all works alright with a trip down to the south coast..
