Right now that's done, I dunno mate, I'd like to but it might be a bit much to ask of the owd bugger for a first run out.

I need to
Determine what a couple of random wires are doing hanging around the place
Receive and fit new tyre
MOT
insure
tax
Find 1m of braided line, make line for front
bodge up some sort of rear caliper and line
possibly acquire and fit new shocks
nick some rear indicators from someone or something and fit.

So just a couple of little bits

Oh I also need to change the front sprocket and service my SV in the meantime as well. Busy evenings

It weighs as much as a house, you can sit on the settee and toast marshmallows over the 1 bar electric sidelight holder lol.
