It was my own fault really I didn't want to take the engine out as it run and looked alright so I just painted the frame around it.This is common practice when your a tightwad

finally found the main stand so only just got around to fitting it but what I didn't realize is the tube that you bolt the stand too between the frame had rusted inside out around one of the welds.So as soon as any weight was on it the inevitable happened.Its now pushed tight against the back of the engine and I can't see how I would get a decent weld without striping it right down again.It's not all bad I will have to do it properly now.
I've not had much luck with anything mechanical recently I'm now without the green bike it's at Daytona designs

so I thought I would dig the Triumph out anyone would think that was from the 70's by the amount of oil on my boots
