I really liked MG AN 34, and was sad to see it go (my job was moving to the USA and it would have been impractical to ship it).

I'm enjoying my time with RA06 FON. With a fair wind the DPD guy will bring the front wheel paddock stand today so I can finish changing the brakes, and the the DHL chap will deliver the last few bits I need for the radiator job so I can get that done.

I don't want costs to escalate too much with this project, the bike will never be worth enough to justify much spending, but I have succumbed to a set of new silicone radiator hoses (all 6 for only $30), direct from the factory in China. They will be here in about a month, I think they are a sensible precaution as the ones on the bike look like they might be 13 years old. I should have the bike clean by the time they arrive so they will enhance it a lot.
