Thanks for all your help.

That's it's best side. It's been down the road so the bodywork needs a little work and paint sorting on the other side. Coolant tomorrow and a quick run through the warm up process then it'll up for sale for someone else to finish off. Someone who likes sorting bodywork would have it looking sweet and on the road in no time.

So took HamStorm out for a shake down ride prior to it's comencment of commuting duties tomorrow.

Only rode it to MOT station & back, twice but as of Sunday its taxed up so Nipped out for a shake down run & to get some bits n bob + Fill it up with fule...

All good except it cut out at a set of lights but only as tick over too low, fired straight back up & tick over raised when I stopped for fule.

Got home lubed the hot chain... Wipped the fairing off & put in an LED headlight bulb, had standard in for MOT...

On Saturday I Dragged the storm out of the corner of the garage to get ready for the Scotland storm trip. It has sat under cover for ages as I keep using the KTM

, I think I used it twice last year, once for the Scotland weekend and once for the Wales weekend, then it has been for its MOT earlier this year....then it has sat on the trickle charger since then.

Guess what... Not enough battery ummph to start it

Jump started it, then charged the battery..... So I went out tonight to check it, and got about 3 turns of the engine then flat again

.

So I have ordered one off the eBay seller that mac recommended and hoping they deliver on Thursday like they promised, otherwise I will be bringing jump leads on the Scotland trip
