    Err, I did start it up after six weeks, feeling better after quitting chemo. So I might chance it this weekend, weather is forecast to be in the 30's.

    Battery totally copulated. I had one like that once upon a time. Stuck it on charge for an extended period (feckin' hours!) and it turned the engine over for all of 10 seconds before giving up the ghost and/or me losing my bottle - worrying about damaging the jolly old sprag clutch don'tcha know!:eek::worried:

    Wow! Is that a false ceiling? I’m looking at doing that, is it insulated?? Do you have a beam going across to put a winch on?

    It's very cheap mate, think I'm just lucky to live in an area where theft doesn't really go on, well not to my knowledge and fingers x'd it never does.
    Also looking like the hulk helps alot, apart from being green of course. :joy::joy:

    What is this giving up that you talk about........... you can't mean riding your motorcycle; this is something that only happens for short periods with the wet and salt on the roads, or am I missing something?

    What have I done with my Triumph today? Fuck All..........oh sorry I meant fork oil. MMMMM the old oil such as there was was black and nasty and after only a short shakedown ride the damping seems loads better, the poor old gal will never be a fireblade tho. Used a cheap £1.50 bulb type pump from the local pound and a bit shop to get the old oil out, well most of it anyway, couldnt be arsed to get the forks off and there aint a drain plug on the legs. Put in 15 grade oil and just under maximum height of oil in each leg, isnt it so much easier if you have a capacity of oil to use , ie 400cc etc instead of the height of the oil?
