Back to bike stuff at the Workshop of Wonders this week. A new coil was fitted and now both plugs are sparking. Well almost! Bolted the housings back on the frame, fitted the tank back, NOTHING! Not to worry, I'll try insulating the housings against the frame next week, pretty sure that will do the trick. Then fire her up. Looking forward to hearing a noise. Then off with the silencer for a louder noise.
Bought a chrome rear fender from a motorcycling Aladins cave. GB motorbikes in Cawston, Norfolk. I'll get a picture next time I go. A whole industrial unit filled floor to ceiling with used bike bits. One man and his wife. The inventory all in his head. Pre-computer thinking. Creative in is peculiar way and above all Human.
Haven't been able to get any good overall pictures of the bike at the moment. Its been raining a lot so working under cover. Some grinderman shots of Paul again. Cant resist the drama of it. Brackets and unsightly bolts gone. 
Among the treasures in the workshop Paul found a vintage bike lamp. Out came the sticky tape. That's the look for the rear sorted, or something very similar.
Hell, I'm going to go for a SINGLE seat. Nobody wants to ride pillion with me! I've got some very strange friends indeed.
