I wondered if the whine was normal too. Definitely let's you know you're in third!

I attended gatley motorcycle owners group before my local pub got demolished to make way for new houses. . I asked a guy how do you get your massive gold wing on its ctre stand. He goes try it. I declined. He insisted.
I did it. Maybe I used the force luke.  :D

Really struggling to get my USA import on centre stand. Is it cause my rear wheel is smaller? Maybe I'm a weakling  ;D

My licence and title came back a week later after my v5. Is everyone's bike manufactured on new years day?

I was worried about this when I first got my 78 k started. Removed tappet covers and it threw oil over my front mudguard after running a few mins.

Thank you all. Always love bringing a bike back from dead/broke down shoved in garage for 26 years. Just the nigglys. neutral light on dim in gear. And a burning oily smell at traffic lights. Turned out clutch cable outer touching exhaust manifold rhs. Thought I'd dropped a sump plug. Thought I was going to get run over when a vw amarok pickup at lights reversed backwards towards me to change lanes at kingsway gatley lights. Man that horn was loud and saved me and bike. Glad I tuned it cause it was a donk when I got it.
I like it a lot.  :)

First proper ride out today. Number plate now fitted last night.
Bumbled around still unsure of po work. Checked everything I could and got used to slow speeds. As I learnt the characteristics of the bike I found it very comfortable and as confidence built started leaning it into bends swerving round potholes etc. Then I thought let's take it on a dual carriageway. Hand on Clutch ready if it blew up. When it hits 6000 rpm sounds quite nice and has the power to get out of trouble if needed. I think it suits me. Feels like it would run forever.
Happy Simon  😊

OK up to temp and done. Oil (yuk) Oil filter (yuk) and plugs from the 90s. I'm going to change it all again in the next month. Starts and idles better with oil light extinguished. Phew!

Oil filter genuine arrived. Do I need to run it in this 30c heat?
