Workshop day!!! 
I purchased some LED stop lights that fit into the turn signal mount, so as to allow people to better see when I'm stopping, rather than Liberace-ing (rear-ending) me.
What should have been a job that takes about an hour took a bit longer due to having to remove the seat and rear fender. I also found an electrical short in the rear tail light that was caused by a cracked lens and the rain from last night entering it didn't help at all.
I was all done around 5PM and decided to head over to Bone Daddy's for a feed of ribs and brisket. My mate - Steve Stout, recommended it ... and he was spot on. It's along the lines of the Hooters chain, but very well done. Great blues was playing, the food was great and there was enough eye candy for both Ray Charles and Steve Wonder to hand in thier optomertrists rebate cards.
