  1. Started 749 after belt change.
    Took battery out of 1098 - not started for a year so basically dead.

  2. Started the old track veteran for the first time in a year. Ticks over nicely after changing hosepipe single hole injectors with some 12 hole ones. Probably needs a bit of dyno time to set them up.
    Donkey battery working well. 20210220_143119.jpg

  3. Took both wheels off the Hyper to do some cleaning - just for something to do! Now I have the wild excitement of walking to Halfords to buy brake cleaner :eek:

  4. Went to ride this funky little fella to go and collect the DT175 carb from the mechanic to send back to the seller as it turns out that it’s one from an earlier model, only to find that the rear brake was seized on. Bled it, which cured the seizing but I no longer have a back brake. Or, as I found out when it started to go dark on the way home, no lights either :astonished:
