Why didn't you just drop them in boiling water to soften them  ;) Never seen a 750 made into a coffee table.

I did warm them but they just didn't want to know.
Do you reckon I could keep it indoors if I call it a table  ;)

A little progress today I cleared the garage about a week ago to spray 16 radiators for a job I'm on only 2 left now thank god.
Managed to get the Honda's back in :)
The garage looks a little bare at the moment as there's normally 6 bikes 2 go carts and a massive stash off work related crap crammed in.



I was happy until I saw this  :'( I hate my job
