Did the bike run ok in the sea, Tommy?

I was self employed brickie most of my working life -- swinging pic-akes,
Took the bike for a front break rebuild and chain and sprocket when I got to the garage there drilling the swing arm because one of the adjusters has snapped and if they can't get it out I'll have to buy another swing arm ffs not happy.😠
