Ha, I just gathered up all the metal stuff that might fit and offered it all up. The grill would have been better but attaching it would have needed more work.
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

Bought this non running piece of shite 2 & 1/2 yrs ago, most of it in a box. Finally built it up over the last 4 days. Running and riding like a peach today. No use for it, but at least I don't need to keep pushing it around the cave anymore.

I'd say that's a good lifetime. I cannot remember the last time I had aftermarket grips that lasted 40k miles.

not Me exactly .. but took the NC750 for a new tyre .. micheling pr5 .. great tyre, great handling even from new, confidence inspiring.
while at the mechanics, asked if time for mot .. yep .. so had new MOT too ... chuffed.
continued my journey to do some gardening for the day ... turned back and was forced to test out my new tyre ..
went to west end cafe, llandovery, and ranges ... then home.
didn't feel a bit guilty lol.

pic to follow.

Greetings,

Road tested the Pampera today after again having had to strip out the clutch plates, total solid mess that had to be prized apart once out of the basket.

Oil changed again to mineral and it made a big difference, but I think that I might need another change soon though just to try and flush the system.

Glad of Bill's extra reserve tank today as the rascal ran dry about 4 miles from home, still a good day out.

TTFN

Hugh.

I had a lovely few hours servicing mine.

Oil drained from 4 places. Oil filled 4 places. 2 spark plugs, an oil filter and an air filter.

Didn't check the valves as I couldn't be arsed, but I'll do it soon.
