I've meant to charge the battery for some time, but forgotten about it. It's been sat in the garage since maybe November? Pretty cold, too, gets down to a couple of minus inside the garage. Can't remember date of last ride, but it was pretty late last year. Anyhoo, it still turned over, but not quite enough juice to actually fire. So charged it a few hours, and it fired right up. 

 

It is the least troublesome piece of machinery I've ever owned, down to and including my nailcutters.

Booked the Shields ferry on Monday for a shortish ride out on the 9er come April/May and then totally ignored the bike as a second Cherrypicker project arrived yesterday extending current no riding time by a couple of weeks.

TDM you just know it's right. I've test ridden quite a few new bikes but they just don't do it for me. Well not enough to justify the eye watering prices.

I got the Sunday afternoon shiny bike (Trumpet) but for long distances I roll out the venerable TDM.

Lubed a sticky gear shift pivot and washed the bike, then took my corona virus for a brap. It never ceases to amaze me how much faster a clean bike is.

rode the mod 1 route for my IAM course, tried out the new electric waistcoat but it was warm on its own so no power needed.



bike ran great, gave it a wash and changed the oil and oil filter.

 

Anyone use the mahle filters? all plastic and I fully expected then to break as the covers have to be closed up in tension.
