I "know" that bloke. Used him several times for parts on my GL1100 project bike.


 
Bike is sold, exported to Belgium.

Very nice indeed.

I started on the front brakes clean and wheel reassembly, but I got visited so many times, (read interrupted), that I never got finished. I will get the wheel in today. 
I had already spent the morning getting my bicycle repair shop ready.
The calipers cleaned up well, and the pads were still reasonable, so I refitted those.
I thought that the pad retainers were painted black, until I wiped them with a rag. 
I don't think this bike saw a lot of cleaning in it's previous ownership, apart from the shiny bits, and even then it was just cursory.

I thought these were painted. LOL

Finally got the front wheel in and got most of the solar gear rigged up in my shed.

Quite a good productive day. Light is running off a 3 cell lipo from one of my models. I have a total of 8 in there.

MOT passed today.     118 miles covered last year, there will be considerably more this year.

118 last year Dwain?,    I did more than that yesterday before lunch!     Mind you, it is unusual for me to do that, but all the same, worth a laugh.

118 miles a year?

Best book it in for a fresh tank of fuel in April 2025...

Financially speaking what's the running cost per mile in that particular case ?

Too high Matey, that's what. 
Got all the "jobs to do when I retire" out of the way,so plenty of time to ride Bikes.

[GSXKING]

Don't do it 😳 you'll end up in Bavaria drinking beer 🍺 and eating pretzels 🥨 🥳🥳🥳

[KiwiCol]

probably run into Stolly then, he's been known to frequent them parts

Fitted a new sport rack today, so I will be able to carry my sandwiches, thermos and dandruff cream on rides out.
