Protecting your paint with Sheet Tack Paper
Hey guys, before leaving Iowa on my South America trip I painstakingly covered all of my paint with a translucent plastic material called Sheet Tack Paper from Home Depot. They use it to protect the inside of drawers. I also covered the plastic with several layers of duct tape after it started to look old and was starting to peal in Nicaragua.
I just removed the paint protection in Argentina and the result was amazing. The paint after many falls and 30,000 kms of riding looks like new. BTW: I will try and post up some pictures when I find a computer with a resizer. In the mean time if you want to see the pictures go to my website which is in my sig. Geoff

Hey Steve, I am getting close to Ushaia but my bloody F650 is not cooperating again. I have a pretty big oil leak and think it is one of the engine gaskets.
