I sympathise Bryan, I've been there.
You could always tackle those jobs that never get done (not in my garage anyway) like checking the wheel bearings, check through the wiring loom for poor connections (that'll keep you busy) check all fastenings for tightness, oil the cables (I never get round to that) Surely one of your machines is due for a top end overhaul?

Me too!



Have been looking after a sick friend in switzerland since early december.



I only managed about 3 hours with my bike since then and that was mostly restoring the Trafficators. I may
have been a little grumpy with off topic stuff, but am also suffering withdrawal symptoms.



My commiserations, It's hard being away from 'family' and not riding.


I posted this elsewhere, but watching it keeps me sane, um, er... insane... well, you know what I mean.

IF I ever get time to complete the project, there will be a nice vid about it all!

Cables, tyres & wheel bearings are high on my check list, however, opening up the brakes for a clean out may well be beneficial, the drums could well have a rust coating by now. That plus the carb clean I mentioned earlier will be enough
As for the motors, The Flash may be getting ready for a decoke (last opened up 2006) but it still runs OK so it is to be left alone.
The Infamous Bullet was last open about 5 years ago and performs well enough, that too will not be molested.
Spent an entertaining evening many years ago at BBC Shepeherds Bush watching Victor Meldrew aka Richard Wilson recording a One Foot In The Grave episode.
The semaphore direction indicator is amusing :)
