Good luck.

Obviously you'll take your time coming home.

Wrap up warm and make sure your visor is polished and clear.

Double check that all the lights and indicators work with emphasis on the brake lights. Try and stop on the way back. Know how to open up the filler cap and make sure you don't run out of fuel. Also, if possible, check the tyre pressures using a proper gauge and not a petrol station one. Lastly, make sure there is enough oil in the engine.

Let us know you got back safely.

Thanks for the advice Pete, I checked most of those things when I looked at it last week but will double check again before handing over any cash. Regarding the right oil level, what should it look like when the engine is cold and not been running? Fuel, how many miles (roughly) before I start seriously thinking of filling up?

Otherwise, bring on the nice weather and a nice long jaunt along the Fosse way home

Oil sight glass is on the right. Ask the seller to sit on the bike and after a few seconds check it.

Depends on how the bikes is running, but 100 miles before you need worry. There are two stages on the warning light. Flashing, which used to mean 40 ish to empty then at around 10 miles it goes to solid (staying on all the time). But I wouldn't trust the light on an older bike, just in case. Fill it up then you'll get home, no problem.
