  4. Nail on the head Zhed46.
     
  5. Renewed the insurance to both bikes with BeMoto, and having made a couple of minor amendments it was done efficiently and without fuss and importantly with a £31 reduction to the cost from last year. :)

    And to celebrate I went out on the Scrambler and did 40 brisk miles around the country lanes which was lovely :) :upyeah:

    And I've just booked the Scrambler in for it's first MOT in April, which is the first bike I've had to MOT in around 30 years as I normally dont hang on to them this long :eek:

    But I love riding it and it is deffo a keeper :upyeah:

  6. Managed to get out on the bike yesterday , Had a meeting in Truro, at a shop we are fitting out. First ride for probably 4 months. Bit chilly in the morning, but a lovely sunnyish ride home 200 mile round trip. Will give me an excuse to clean her the weekend, not that I need an excuse

  16. You know you can do as I do and lower your side window and stick your head out to look behind you, or are you worried you’ll scare passers by? ;)

  18. Just about to head to Halfords to collect some snow foam I ordered online yesterday using my Halfords card :)

    Later on I will be washing the Scrambler and reapplying acf50 again, though that bit may happen tomorrow.

  20. Spent 20 mins this morning TIGing the new Lambda bosses on and blocking off the butterfly valve stem.
    It strange thinking about this... 30 years ago I would have been bricking them in case a gaffer caught me doing gubby jobs on the side in work’s time and now I felt so good about doing a job for the bike and getting paid for it. :)
    Exhaust back on and just about ready for the re map.
