Hi Florence,

I Like em used.

Well done.

Duck oiled a seat once had a girl on the back one minute, gone the next.

That was the end of that relationship.

florence:
yes, I would agree with that.  I took it for a test ride and the front brake is dragging slightly.  A bit annoying because MOT chap won't like it.  I should have checked all this before I bled the brakes but I was too excited about being so near to riding it.  Looks like I'll have to redo.  What I don't know is whether it will just free itself up with use?  It's twenty miles to the MOT place......

matthewmosse:
Better to clean up and fix now then have to make 2 trips to mot place. WD40 and a bit of freeing off for 20 minutes will genrally get it ok for a short time, but a full strip and clean then re assemble with grease in pivots will give a better result I would think.

florence:
thanks, wise advice.

florence:
took off the offending part and it looked like it had been at the bottom of the ocean for several decades, now soaking in plus gas.
