Decided after..ooh..2 months.. that it might be an idea to fire up the kwak again.. It's been quite rubbish weather of late and the garage is at least 90metres away.. no point in getting cold or wet... but seeing as the sun actually came out this morning, thought i'd venture to the black hole that is my garage.

Key in ignition, turn and thumb the starter.. and... whuumph.. it started up first turn! Yaaay!!

I have since promised said kwak that i'll attempt to spend some time tidying it up ready for the MOT that i really should bother my arse to get it thru.. :smt005 :smt005

I shall add that to my 'to do' list. Ive still got to rewire the horn, strip and clean the brake calipers and spend a bit of time washing the dust off it.. :smt009

Poor neglected thing.

A seat on it would be a good idea as well :smt005 :smt005

Yeah I get the hint.

BTW once I've finished it (today/tomorrow) I'll attempt to show whats been done to it in words and pictures.

:smt005 That wasnt a hint at all Gio! Honestly!

Will be good to see it and find out how you did it :smt001

Im sure 'someone up there' is deliberately trying to wind me up.. my list of things to do has been somewhat put on hold due to the high winds that appeared overnight.. :smt011

Very funny, Sam... :smt005

Your two bikes surviving, or have you avoided the wind down your bit of East Anglia? Even had to put the 'Ped in the garage earlier as although that was hidden out the wind, it was still looking precarious :smt011

Your GPz still starting up okay?
