Why are their gritters melting?

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.

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...

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...

A thingummybob wotsit...

.....considering that the wiring was, er, interesting, I've not had a bad day.

The next thing to do is get the exhausts and fuel system sorted...

....and remove the pig from Honesty..........
