MOT booked for Monday.

Checked the old girl over and shattered the peace nearby - just love the sound of a big V Twin! 😊
Insufferable halfwit.

Front brake fluid's a bit low!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Put it back on the bike, turn it over on the starter and you'll refurb the carbs and decoke the cylinder heads at the same time!

(Tip: Don't do this at home, children)
