Teds new project a CB500 K1 mostly version 0.5 circa 1972.

2 links touching, that's almost new Ted. A new one won't touch anywhere until you press down on the centre, at a pinch you could re-use that. I'd still replace the primary damper rubbers though unless they feel nice.

[Sesman]

I’m not so sure. Observe the comparison between my 17k mileage and new chains. Though it’s definitely not goosed.

[Sesman]

Oh and thanks for remembering to post the photo, Ted. Unfortunately I can’t advise on whether to reuse or not. £50 would buy 2.5 bottles of Jamesons in our supermarket 😀

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

I'm replacing it anyway.

[Bryanj]

With the Jamesons?

[Laverdaroo]

That'll go with a whoosh.....................Phil does

[Sesman]

😁😁😁. Has that box arrived yet?

[Laverdaroo]

No, nothing ye tPhil, ever hopeful. You did drop it at the Post Office and not Argos or the Sue Ryder shop did you.



Or leave it at the Cross Keys?

[Sesman]

Dunno, but I stopped of at the Blacksmiths Arms at 12.30 and only emerged in the dark. Pretty sure I made the post office, but then again……

[Oddjob]

Look for any shop on the route back with a red sign over it, you'd have thought it was the Post Office due to inebriation. It will still be sat on the counter. 

[Laverdaroo]

Good skills mate, it'll be about somewhere

[Sesman]

Ha, success. Deffo the PO as I’ve found the postal receipt. Must have been sent by push bike if the cost of postage is anything to go by.

[Laverdaroo]

I'll start rattling the corn tin in the morning and see if the pidgeon carrying it wil come down and drop it off

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

As it was unusually dry & warm today I kitted up like something out of Quatermass and did a final paint strip of the lower crank casing.

All being well I want to get it painted & baked in the oven. Spent over two  hours doing a full oven clean. He- he brownie points with a hidden agenda - can't risk contamination.

[Sesman]

Have you painted the cases yet Ted?
