So far so good, today should see the big stuff done followed by lots of swearing at fidly bits..

....and Honesty has a grunting rubber pig to tease the brownies with while she's on camp this weekend...

...........and a car horn to get them up, you know, the old fashioned type...

The fiddly bits will get you every time! Much like life.

OK, so today went better than expected, most of the bits are now bolted on and, shock horror!! the electrics seem to be OK!

A quick kick with a pair of spark plugs resting on the cylinder heads produced sparks...

.......it lives Doctor Frankenstein, it lives!!

Well, almost, I need to clean out the carbs and trawl ebay for some cables....

Oh yes! I also need to sort out the exhausts, but that will be some time next week...

You`re going to be spoilt for choice soon HG. Beemer or Yam! Just taxed the Enfield tonight, managed about 80 miles last year.

Dunno about beer - I'm drinking a little whisky at the moment.

Has an e-mail from a friend which frightened the wits out of me - he said he was writing to me and the last sentence of that was 'Please don't hate me "

OK English is not his first language and I then waited and waited and waited - for over an hour for the aforesaid e-mail .

Dear heavens - the thoughts that were going through my mind

Eventually it arrived and I heaved a sigh of relief as I read it - and then told him off soundly for frightening me like that .

My drink was / is needed

Did you know that 90% of Harley Davidson's are still on the road...

....the other 10% made it home in one piece!

They're strange stable mates Beemer and Smokie, one a fire-breathing wheelie popping race bred machine, the other a docile long distance tourer.

How I ended up with such disparate machines still amazes me.

Have you all melted?

Not that warm here, but pleasant enough to sit outside with a glass of something cold.

It's a bit cooler today thankfully - I was melting when I got back from Edinburgh yesterday
