Needs to go back on T4 to check its switching, if supplied by Terry it will be a good quality part so it can now be discounted

Couldn't do anything with my 75 today as its still sitting at the local garage waiting for an assessment of the crankshaft pulley failure over the weekend, bad time of year for garage work!! Miss old Slouchy (as Mrs calls her) already

"I can't leave intil my record has played"! That was my excuse for being late home! The crackles gave them character! Just like when 208 used to fade in and out just as Jimmy Savile (Sorry folks!) was about to get to the "Top of The Pops"! Rock on Luxembourg and Caroline!

Insured the Triumph



One of the benefits of being an old g1t is that you can insure a bike, capable of 160mph and 0-60 in 3 secs
for £96 Fully Comp.

Err, well I did something with my ZT today, that will be addressed elsewhere, however I did something quite painful instead, which didn't involve dirty hands, scruffy overalls, or tools.

However, the results are quite nice

The FJ12.
I have fond memories of touring Europe on one of those. I bought a new one in 1991.

I remember that summer stopping for lunch in South West France at a lovely terrace restaurant overlooking a river.
The food was superb and out came a large jug of the local wine.
They had rooms too, so we ended up there for 3 days!

The owner made a fuss over the FJ1200 and got the vehicles moved out of the garage so the bike could go there at night.

I was going to take the carpet out of my sunroof free donor car to put in my leaky sunroof car, but time spent up the pub now means I'm watching BSB. Waiting to receive the connectors to repair sunroof drains, then remove the carpets at a time to be determined
