Probably the most dangerous thing about them was the pointed end was sticking out to the right....I didn't want to scratch my fragile skin, I am still in possession of a 900 so I need to be careful, apparently

Sorted that, attached a rudimentary fuel supply and tried to start.


She spun over nicely but no startee


Then it came to me, these old girls have a choke mechanism don't they?

Now trying to decide on a colour scheme, any ideas?

Ridden Adenau to Splodge's in the fog/sunshine on some very nice single tracks followed by definitley not staring into several er moving display lingerie shops (I assume that's what they're selling Angel ), on the run up to his place.
