Probably my biggest challenge ever now is to get to the weekender. Not the fact that's it's not being trailered I'm trying to get riding again , but after its three year build I never new it's real engine history
After last Wednesday's amazing bike mag photo shoot with Rob for company I had never seen it ridden but there are glitches and was puffing some intermittant blue smoke. I'm very aware of that now but will brave it and trust my instinct
There is money left in the pot for engine work which will happen over winter where I see new piston rings needed at least. The bores were fine but I fitted a second hand set of rings on one as the original broke . This will be alongside a frame strip because the paint over the powdercoat in a few places and entirely down to me has hairline cracks. Not the biggest of deals but I will rectify by a strip down to metal and professional respray now we have a paint code.
Feeling pretty excited about journey and in a happy place
