The moment of truth...
DayvW:
Good news Drew ... and the weather looks promising over the weekend down 'ere .. so hopefully you'll get out.
I have just completed a (year long) renovation (my first complete one - my first anything was the 400-4 engine last year) of another 70's bike - Suzuki GT550 - and I've just got my MOT this week too .. feels sooo good to get to this stage (I too have had a few issues .. dont we always .. but pretty much sorted now) .. I guess if it was too easy it wouldn't be so rewarding (I keep telling myself that anyway!!).
Good luck with maiden voyages!
Cheers,
Dave
Drew400:
Thanks Dave,
Empathy indeed!
Cheers, D.

Please Drew, make sure you sort that brake fluid leak before you go riding it again, safety first, especially when it's the front brake, which provides 90% of the braking force you need on a bike like that! Anyone who doubts that fact, try riding using just the rear brake (Very carefully!) it's not a nice experience
Drew400:
Thanks Hairy,
I'm well aware of that, but no harm being reminded.
Cheers, D.

....back in the 70's I used to ride my 400F from 'alifax to Leeds / visit my g/f (= wife now) in St James Hospital, nurses home. Used to park it underneath a fire escape... one night got back to it and some effing low-life had cut the brake hose. Not a nice experience riding 20+ miles back on the M62; thence all the bloody hills abouts 'alifax...
To this day I'd like to meet the git, and simply ask, "Why?" Arsehole.
