75 CB400 "Dad's old bike" project
Pops400:
Bit of labelling up and tidying from last week whilst the shock mounts soak in WD40. Made the mistake last week of forgetting the masking tape, so had to use gaffer tape to label up and lo and behold, the pen is rubbing off, so took the chance to re-label whilst the girl got the sockets sorted.

Sadly, when I viewed the photos, I realised I am far closer to baldness than I realised. Hey ho... :'(

Jess was very pleased with her trophies after I loosened the shocks off.
Her "By the power of grayskull" moment (for the 80's kids...) [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
After that, we had a bit of a breather and a lesson on how brakes work. She's getting there. 8)

And that was it for today. Slow progress, but progress none the less.

And you can't be a kid without doing the "brum, brum!!!" bit... ;D 8) Chip off the old block. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Down to Shepton Mallet next week on Sunday if the weather holds, so parts hunting. See some of you there next week, maybe.
mike the bike:
Hope to see you there then.
Fired up my 400 after sorning it for a few months. Closed the float bowl drain screws, put fresh juice in, cranked it over on kill just to get the oil up to the cams. Turned kill switch to ON. Fired up first blatt of the starter and it ran like a Swiss watch - only louder and a lot more fun.
