Restoration Complete - Garage Doors

16/5/2020

0 Comments

 
With the coronavirus lockdown taking over the world, racing news is a bit thin on the ground... So just like back in 2015, we decided to take on some more summer projects.

With the Yamaha Jog restored, the Aprilia RS125SP restored and both of the current race bikes prepared and ready to go, we decided to finally get around to making the garage/workshop look a bit prettier!

At first we thought that a quick lick of paint would suffice but when preparing the door surfaces, the paint started falling off in big chunks. Some forensic work found at least 6 different colours on the side door, which showed us some of the history...

​After initially attempting to preserve as much as we could, we eventually decided to take the doors back to bare (galvanised) metal.

​After being masked up, a couple of coats of paint was applied and then the plaque and trims were re-attached. When we started totalling up the man hours spent we gave up counting after reaching 20 hours - but I'm sure you'll agree that it looks much better than when we started!

​Hopefully the lockdown will ease soon, so that we can get out on track again - even if it is just at some trackdays for a bit of practice - but until then, please look after yourselves and "Stay Alert"!

​Oh, and for you CB750F1 lovers out there, you'll be glad to see that Dave Snr is making good progress...   :-)

With the continued worldwide spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), it will come as no surprise to many of you that the Auto Cycle Union have now advised that the earliest date for any competition activity to resume will be from 4th July 2020.

You can read the full statement here: https://www.acu.org.uk/News/2020/05/ACU-and-AMCA-plan-return-to-motorcycle-sport

This extended halt to proceedings is subject to change and is based upon the UK public adhering to published guidelines to limit the spread of the virus. The official announcement of this suspension extension means that our 2020 racing calendar now looks as follows:

Saturday/Sunday 11th-12th July - Darley Moor Round 4
Friday/Saturday 14th-15th August - No Limits Oulton Park
Sunday 13th September - Darley Moor Round 5
Saturday/Sunday 10th-11th October - Darley Moor Rounds 6 & 7 (including "Stars at Darley")
