Essex Lad, you missed out one important detail, does it start?

[Essex Lad]

Haven't tried to start it yet. I need to reassemble from its travel condition, so handlebars and controls, set up/adjust all cables, check chain alignment, adjust brakes, assemble foot pegs, add mirrors & crash bars, go round all nuts and bolts to check torques, battery on charge, do electrical checks. And clean off all the tape glue from the chrome where the dessicant bags were!You know, that sort of thing. Only arrived at 1325 and it took 40 minutes to get it off the back of the truck due to width and balance issues of crate/pallet.
Also need to put fuel in it, but I might take the tank off and put sealer in it before refuelling. May get it started tomorrow, but also busy on the toy car.

Glad it got here in apparently good nick, we hope it also turns out to be a good 'un when you come to ride it. A.

Great news. Hope you have the same good luck when you are registering it. Paul

Here is the link to the Youtube video - at last.

Today, I have to sort out finishing decorating stairs and landing, plus securing my new employment contract, so not much progress expected today. Have to chase the Fright Forwarders for the NOVA docs.

10/10 for packing anyway.
You've got enough kindling to keep you going for ages and enough bubble-wrap for many a Christmas.
Be sure to do a video of the first start-up.

Oh, and I wouldn't seal the tank. With modern fuels it's not as easy as it was. I have a couple of tanks with a bit of rust in them and a good fuel filter keeps in manageable.

Great video. Looking forward to the start-up and then maybe seeing it in the flesh somewhere.
