15 months under a tarp in the garden; oil change plus filter, fresh fuel, drained carbs, charged battery, started third kick, it even ticks over by itself.  Must be a Honda.

New chain and sprocket set, headlamp, rear tyre and brake shoes.  I just need to put some filler in the front mudguard, a new hole has appeared but the rest is still solid.  Scrub that, gaffa tape will do for now.

I just need to bleed the front brake, rub over with an oily cloth and should be ready for MOT.

Glad its going back on the road, are you sure the wipe with the oily cloth is really  necessary? don't want to shock it too much!!

Don't wipe the seat...

My brother did that years ago to my dads Triumph Trophy  ::) it sent the cover rock hard.
I used it the other day and it's still as slippery as hell I nearly slid of the side so I roughed it up with sandpaper. :)
