Did some gardening , cleaned the pond filter and switched the pump back on , turned over & weeded  the raised beds , put some grass seed and compost on the bare patches where I removed the raised beds from the lawn , applied moss killer to the paths .

Figuring it would help make it more sellable, I bought a taller screen for my cb1300 to complement the touring abilities of the full fairing, fitted it went on a 100 mile ride to check it out.
Worked brilliantly,80 -  90mph is blissfully relatively wind free, quick twist of the wrist 110-120 overtakes also no buffeting.
Massive downside is I'd forgotten how good the bike looks and feels. I'm really gonna struggle to put it up forsale. :'(

Finally got round to adjusting the handbrake on the 106... which involved reversing onto a pile of wood in a vague check design to get the back end up in the air, then crawling underneath and attacking it with a 13mm spanner!!  :eek Sorted now, and the handbrake actually works (at last)!   :smokin

Then I had to tax it.  :2guns WHAT?!? £79.50 for the priviledge of driving that car on the God-awful British roads for the next 6 months?!? :grumble Not a happy bunny.

MOT coming up too...  :groan

I'm a little lost for words. I knew you had a few, shall we say, issues... but... just wow...

So much money for random, untested, swingarms... but not enough for a basic hydraulic floor jack  :rolleyes

Hydraulic jacking: 10 mins of faffing about. Reversing onto the chocks, 20 secs. Job jobbed.
