Well got the bike back to a exe employers yard/worshop just b4 they shut up at 6pm. went in next day fired her up and dropped oil. then good brush over with traffick film remover and a blast over with there high pressure steam cleaner and yes it is a steam cleaner not just a pressure washer, planned to go in today to take some low res pics for board b4 i started stripping her down, but circumstances conspiered to keep me away ( read contractor not comming out at agreed time to do a job) so to appease myself ive charged up 2 sets of batteries for tommorow (friday) and ive just bought an ultrasound cleaner for the carbs n fiddaly internal parts.
also was looking around for insurance and loads of well known names did not want to know after 2 3 hours on phone i was passed to a specialist insurance broker / company FOOTMAN JAMES who will insure a lay up fully comp for theft acc damage etc and the price
