it works!
LesterPiglet:
I'll never forget doing my seat with Mr. Sheen. ::)
florence:
it does need oil in some parts, paint falling off, angry rust appearing, but great to have it going again. Brakes working now which is a bonus. I think I'll record the sound of it running and share the file, I had forgotten how fab it sounds with that Laser pipe.
Plan to put the bike in my next 'pop video'. ;D
Paull:
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.
