Hi

Oh well, now up to 9 bikes that will run (possibly 10, but I don't count the Gilera as running that is like pulling the pin from a grenade, you know it is going to blow up soon). 6 are fully road legal, one just needs a numberplate fitting, one just needs an MOT and one needs a fork seal and an MOT.

The one nearest the camera was being a pain. I got it running weeks ago then went to MOT it and it wouldn't start. Had a play today and it started find and ran for a while then died and wouldn't start again. Took out the plug and it wasn't sparking, but then noticed a wiff of smoke from the plug. Think the insulation inside has cracked and it is shorting out inside. New plug and it started immediatly.

All the best

Keith

I’m going green with envy, or is that just G's horrible disease?

I was having a session on the bikes and turfed them out so I could walk in and out of the garage easily

Haven't been down the pit to check for frogs.

All the best

Don't know what you mean. I am sure I could squeeze another couple of bikes in there. Just have to move the 2 spare frames, 3 sets of forks and numerous spare wheels.........oh

There is a pit in the garage which tends to get water in it. The neighbour has a garden pond and the frogs seem to prefer the pit sometimes, but they cannot get back out again

All the best
