Nice shiny new exhaust collected today. 
new seats ordered, new cycle wings, and much more. Posty or DPD every other day, lots of garage time.😁

Parts for my up & coming water rail fitting. Rail just ordered from Raceline, thanks Chris Smith, should be here next week.

A hard copy of my 'build diary' was delivered today - all 636 pages of it...! 😬

 

The result of many evenings of copying/ pasting and formatting.

I am deeply impressed - I've been meaning to pull together a photobook of my build, but still not got round to it, three years later...

Wow, amazing and inspiring. Did you copy the whole diary or filter it?

Thank you Bob.

 

Yes, I copied and pasted every page in it's entirety directly from the forum (including comments) into a Word document, keeping my text in 'black' and changing club member comments to 'blue'.

 

Tbh, it was an extremely tedious and time consuming process, but I wanted to capture everything.

 

The final couple of pages show the emojis of all the contributors 🙂.

 

After formatting to remove spaces between entries and to get suitable margins, I saved the file to 'pdf' (approximately 94 Mb in size) and sent it off to an internet company be printed. The printing cost less than £100, compared to almost £200 in one of the high street 'specialist' shops.

Very impressive!  I’ve been trying to do a brief attempt at an owners/workshop manual for the Midlana. Very difficult to find the motivation tbh. Done about 20 pages so far.
