Actually got the old girl out on the road today, thoroughly enjoyed a good, if chilly towards the end, 60 mile run to actually enjoy the fruits of my hard work.Loved it!First picture is her when I bought her, second one as she looks today. Still got things to do, mainly cosmetic and a service.Cheers Doggy

Will be taking it easy 50 miles, although the tyres guy told me they need only 5 miles scrubing:Does he repair bikes also? I would not be pushing them to hard for 100 miles on dry roads.

Yep the old cross ply TT100 were the tyres of the day back in the late 70s early 80s. Obviously Tommy you are of similar vintage to me
Just checked out front sprocket & nut, washer etc. Bike done 11,000 from new so I reckon its on its Original chain & sprockets. A bit lumpy so am replacing & doing a decent service at the same time. Oil, filter, plugs etc.
Put some big bikes in their place, nicely done!!
Cleaned and oiled K&N air filter.Cleaned up front pads, pad pins, pad spring plates, etc.Oiled clutch cable.Gave the bike a wash.
This weekend was mostly spent getting my knee down Or not with them chicken strips.Picked the bike up from my parents on way to see the misis for dinner and I kept hearing a weird banging when I went over bumps, luckily I was 5mins from home so moaning to myself and thinking it sounded expensive I was working out how much I could afford to spare this month .. (£4.67 and half a pack of chewy) I was very relieved to see it was just my hugger. The 2 bolts on the chain side were missing .. I cleaned my chain last weekend so guessed maybe the chain lube helped the bolts vibrate out? They war definitely there before I set of cos I always give bike a little once over before I go out.Put some new bolts in with a touch of loctite should solve that problem. Not very exciting ... just thought I would share. Lol
Hey MillaFZS6H, how did you post those videos in FOC-U. I can not get the vids small enough to be accepted, unless it about 20 to 25 seconds long, or shorter.
I have cleaned my bike and chain today. Results
Give me reliability over torque any day
