I'm happy to report that I have done nowt on the 500 since I downed tools on the 21st June 2024. I will start work on a couple of Helicoils on the carb bowls as soon as I am in the right frame of mind - lots of other things to keep me occupied in the meantime.

Instead I have been doing some minor jobs & checks on the 400 giving it a short run with more runs out planned next week if it stays dry.

This is a neat 500 restoration in the USA.

I had a nine month down time once on the 550 Ted when in my mind things were not right. Amazed then how much renewed enthusiasm and patience I had gained. Nothing wrong with a bit of TO!

Nothing wrong with downing tools. I dropped everything since my back injury in 2020
I almost sold all my bikes of very recently. Even went as far as drafting a few adds.
Something strange has happened today and my enthusiasm seems to have been reignited.
Still short on spare time though  ::)
