Thursday night bike night

Tombo came over with his dad for a spin last night. Great to have both our bikes together for a ride....

Workspace!

After 4 years of working in tiny sheds and lean too's I've got some decent workspace sorted.

Next process is to get all my sheds emptied. Built a workbench yesterday from scrap wood and broken down pallets. Well happy with myself!

Tweaking

Life is very complicated at the moment!

Agreed to sell our house yesterday, so that's marriage, kids and house move in 2013! I had an hour tinkering with the bike, then half hour out riding to see how she's riding.

Worked out where TDC was thanks to the instructions of Tombo, and making a piston stop from an old sparkplug. that allowed me to have a look at the timing on the Mag - certainly seemed to be out - so when I altered it and took it for a ride there was a marked improvement.

I think the carbs need attention next, I've ordered some bigger jets - so next chance I get they will be installed.

The amazon is also up in the barn now - need to get building a compound to keep it all doubly safe this weekend.
