Craizee that’s a cracking 750. Lovely looking Enfield too, don’t think the wife’s ever told me to buy another bike, I’m always a step ahead of her when it comes to that! 😂😂

I did about 150 miles today, taking the scenic routes to Crieff and back. The bike is running much better after I cleaned the carbs. 😀

Very tasteful mods Gareth. Are they Stadium bar end mirror or Halcyon? I need to get some for the Enfield, the Halcyon are a lot more expensive! I like the headlight mountings, what make are they, much better looking than the ones from TEC.

It's a Halcyon mirror, I got it at a reduced price at a bike show during my build. Still expensive though!

The headlight brackets came from Digital Speedos. They're Japanese I think, can't remember the make.

I really like the wheel rims, considering this for mine as front wheel getting quite rusty.

That looks a really cool place to visit John. Do they let you tour the factory?

I remember three wheel battery cars in the 60's & 70's, they were called milk floats  :)

MOT day today for the (Kawasaki) 550 which I bought 2 years ago but haven't actually used yet!

Bikers Realm in WelwynGC, refreshing to be able to just turn up and get an MOT. None of the.old..' we'll need to book you in in three weeks  time' ...which everywhere else near me seems to do. Passed the MOT but the funny rattling I have is a loose drive sprocket which apparently is only held on by the sprocket cover.. So, thanks to the 'aircraft engineer'  I bought it from - hopefully it's just a simple loose bolt or two, but worse case is if it's worn out splines. I'll find out later!

Lovely few hours out at a new, well 2nd year, bike show at West Ashby Manor near Horncastle. Loads of bikes of all sorts, scooter groups, specialist bike displays, race bikes, lots of different beautiful vintage bikes, as well as trikes and special builds. A few nice Honda fours, including Chris R on his Sandcast and his wife Lynn on her 400 four and a beautiful Black Bomber. Lovely location for it, a country manor by a big lake, food and drink. All in, a great time and great venue.

Barn find special is running well again so I decided to go to the shops to pick up some groceries which is about the extent to which I can get out and about  ;D

I enjoyed it so much, when I came back I went mad and fitted the replacement silencer I have been planning to do for over a year and give it a clean, what was I thinking  ::)
