What did you do to your bike today?

[Shepherd]

Mine had a second label warning me to either point the bike towards the sun, or away (can't remember which),to avoid screen focusing the sunlight onto the dash.

A bit like we used to burn the ants with a magnifying glass

Those hazy days....

Thought I'd share a little pic of my old headstock bearings...

.. And the new ones going on...

(Yes, I know there are better ways than tapping them down!)

And the old cups... 

Vs. new...

Oil tank for the 175 duly arrived and fitted.  An amazing reproduction of a long out of production and unobtainable part.

That can only be, very satisfying.

Thanks, and Yes indeed.

Just a couple of planes, both trainers, and one I never flew. I found the helicopter much easier, but that's not been in the air for 15 years. 

I need to sell them on, and admit I don't have time. 

Bought new radio gear etc (Spectrum NX8) a few years ago, thought I'd have a revival, but it all just needs to go on eBay.

I've had a couple of electric gliders, 1 crashed and its replacement still in its box. Been there for about 15 years.

Got a 'copter as well. Never mastered that even with the very expensive futaba helicopter radio.

Now just stick with the yachts and power boats. I  need to get rid of some though. 13 is too many and an unlucky number.

The CBF passed it's MOT, no advisories. Not bad for 19 year old bike with 38k on the clock. 

 

The bad news is the MOT place is stopping doing bikes next week.

Don’t think Mrs JRH would approve.
