Dennis wish you all the best for getting sorted. Don’t like to hear of people getting denied the thing all of us enjoy. But thumbs up for the future. (no pun intended😄)
Nice one, likes it

Ridings out for me for a while, Carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands and both thumb joints shot.
I only managed a mile before the pain in my throttle hand made me turn around.
Next month I'm due for a new thumb joint in my left hand and if it is good the right will come next, they reckon the dodgy thumb joints are causing the CTS so a new joint may fix both problems.
The joys of getting more mature.
Cheers

The genuine one as the main reference and the others to fill in, but this and the US site for starters when you have a problem.

I'm with Ted, mains all the way, before the cost got prohibitive we had lights on the side of the house (2), the back of the house and by the detached garage. I changed them all to PIR LED ones, cheap as chips and reliable.
If I remember correctly they are 20W 1000 lumens and cost about £20 each from eBay.

Had one on my Deauville, when I removed it to work on the bike everything in there was rusty, corroded or generally dirty so it went in the bin.

Never seen anything bodged up like that before, but maybe something similar on old British bikes, scary.

What a lovely noise that makes, makes me want to refit my Dunstall.

What a great project, those early Hondas take me back to my younger years.

After pinching a tube years ago I resorted to using my heels to put tyres on and it worked fine, dancing around the wheel, or using my hands with an old fashioned round bin as a stand.
However last year putting new tyres on my 750 I failed, the back tyre was fine but I had to take my front wheel to a bike shop I just could not do it anymore.
Time catches up with us all.

I can only echo what others have said, fight on , you never know, they can do amazing things these days.
My big brother has not long ago had a lengthy spell of radio therapy for lung cancer, following an operation for bowel cancer and he is still pulling through.
All of my bike parts and dismantled bikes ending up in a skip when I pass is one of my worries, it would be such a waste, glad to see that you are sorting that out and doing it in a very generous way.
Keep on fighting
Dennis
