Its not pink - its Red .... and the purple is a very manly purple.
Needs a bit of loving care - going to do the valve clearances and an oil change/ general service after Xmas.
Starts on second kick once warm - but take a good 10 first thing in the morning
Now all I need is the kit (will be replying to you over the next 2 days Type_Mo) and an MOT.

Silky,10 kicks from cold is too much ,you havent got the knack right .......full choke ,find TDC on kicker ,have tickover set slightly higher than normal for trail,DO NOT even touch throttle,now kick her ,if it does not go after 3 use half choke,then let it warm up .The reason for higher tick over will become apparant when you try to negotiate ruts etc, you can just steer it on a closed throttle ,your progress will be very smooth with not having to constantly open/close throttle ,just stand and steer!Hot start is no choke NO throttle ,find TDC and kick,good luck |

It passed its MOT today
I appear to be merely days away from the muck.
I can see it now..... 30 minutes getting used to the bike,,, making sure I get to know the way she handles...... then.......
