Honda-SOHC

I was rear ended on my guzzi last year and I have had nothing but back and shoulder issues since.
You may think your fine now but it catches up with you all of a sudden. I had no one to claim against as they speed off.
Claim for what you can and as it was rear ended don't forget to have your rear wheel rebuilt and new bearings and check your swingarm.

I have bought a few tyres from Tyre tec.
Thats were Im getting my Avon from.
I think everyones struggling to get stock in due to the pandemic. But on the plus side they will be a fresh D.O.T code when they do arrive.

That's my next job: fitting a relay.  I left the darn things on all day at work.  There's me trying to push start it when a work mate gave me a shove.  Good man.

Been there done that to many times. Now I always wire in an extra fusebox and relay
I like these as they look factory and blend in well

I wish Guzzi new what superseal connectors were as they face far to many molex plugs in to the wind and rain.

My year started with a head on in the van then suspected Covid then being shunted across a roundabout when on the Guzzi. Not been able to ride much since.
I'v been lucky though as I'v worked most of the time so can't complain.

Fingers crossed next year will be better for all.

A rattle gun has become a must with modern bikes to get the front sprockets off.
All of my battery tools are 18v Makita as I think there balanced better then Dewalt and most other makes.
Don't dismiss the tidler 1/4 drives there handy little things as they can get into tight spaces.

My brothers 1/2'' drive Snap On will spin the car round and round untill the head shears off if bolts are rusted solid. 

I have very mixed views on cameras
I had a dash cam in my van when I was hit head on in January it made no difference to my defence even though they were on my side of the road.     it was settled 50/50 because apparenty  I just agreed to go 50/50 in March when recovering from Covid. I don't even remember the phone call. But they played the recording of me talking jiberish I couldn't even remember how to spell my name on the recording.
Way back in May someone shunted me on the Guzzi and fled. A camera would have been nice if rear facing as I had no one to claim against.
Ithought I was fine but I have been in agony for months since and really struggle to get through the day and struggle to sleep at night.

I will carry on with out an MOT on my classics.
Its not hard to check things over on the bench once a year.
A classic car I think I would have checked as its harder to get underneath to check things over.

I took my Aprilia for its test last year and he picked up on a small amount of play in the rear shock linkage.
I have striped the rear end recently and found no play in the back end at all.New bearings seals and shock has now gone in with half a tin of fresh grease in everything so if it gets picked up again there is something fishy going on.

I checked my Transit tipper over just before its test recently everything was working great as the tester drove it up the ramp all the rear lights went out on one side. A quik wiggle of the loom all was back before the ramp had finished rising.

Work has stopped a bit suddenly so before I get paranoid about the lack of money coming in I thought I would spend some much needed time and money getting the bikes tidy again.
Next will be the 550's strange misfire issue.
