Spun the bobbins on a disc to be swapped over with a poorly one on Custard.

Then took delivery of a large parcel...Then went out to pick up another large parcel...Then spent half an hour building up the contents of the first large parcel...

So as I have been off since the end of Oct I have saved shitloads of cash by not having to fill the Storm up every other day £200ish per month, so thought I'd treat meself.

The trolly was £80 ebay & is quite beefy, there were some cheaper ones but they didn't have the draws...

The Halfrauds mid box is a proffesional range one & was £99 reduced to £47 with an extra 15% off so only £41...bargain... :thumbup:

fitted new throttle / oil pump cables on the kh125 and fired it up ... too much mud on the road in the afternoon to take it out, didn't want to spend the rest of the evening cleaning it

Removed and replaced the snapped sump bolt. Cleaned out the oil pan while I was at it. Also gave the exhausts, headers and wheels a bit of a polish.

Stumbled past it for a bottle of wine from the garage. Does this count?

New plugs fitted, charged the battery overnight but still doesn't want to start.
Jumped off the car battery, fired up eventually :D
Removed Brake calipers, checked all pistons moving, well they are now , didn't take much freeing off as they
were overhauled last year :thumbup:
Chain checked over, a bit of rust here and there but all links are moving
Oil level checked, all other levels checked :D
Looks a right pig but I took her for a ten mile shakedown , via the petrol station to check my tire pressures,
Went well !
Oil and filter change and a bit of a clean tomorrow :thumbup:

Was hoping to get the wheels back from the powdercoaters this Friday, but that fell on its face, so will have to wait till this Friday.

But managed to get the swingarm back on with Jamies WP shock fitted, at last fitted Mac's blackbird side stand and generally cleaned crap off and tidied her up.

I did a service freed up the disk bobbins took mirrors off ready for track day in 2 weeks and then rode it around the block see if the judder had gone out the brake lever. Still there slightly but better than it was. First time on the bike in 6 months what a great bike sounds amazing
