My old dentist in Gloucester, unfortunately now departed, told me he had 52 bikes!!!
Everytime I went to his surgery he had a different bike under a cover in the actual surgery, bonkers but true.

Not exactly in the same league as some of you guys, but I acquired a set of oil pipes. I de-rusted them and sprayed the up with some vht paint and they seem to have come out ok. Keeps me out of SWMB's way 🙊🙊

Lots of rust spots pulling the chrome off. So various rotary wire brushes and emery cloth. Then a rust rust killer and then multiple costs of the vht paint. Supposed not to need a primer just a keyed and clean degreased surface. Yet to fit then that will be the test. But it kept me occupied and as I had the paint twas cheap!!!!!!

Drained the fluids and pulled a few covers off. It's definitely dead. For this year at least.
