Yesterday, dropped Stuie to pick up the 'replacement' bike.

He was one very happy chappy, let's hope it stays that way!

Unable to resist,the thought of a pint at my favourite riverside hostelry proves too much..

A hot roast beef sarnie with scrummy chunky chips then a ride on the Shipley Glen Tramway, a quick and interesting look at the funicular tramway with a return journey thrown in, just cos we could!

Then a blast back homewards, with a speedy call in on Squires, seemed fairly busy but didn't see anyone we knew

Prepping the spare room to accommodate Katherine's bodywork, so that I can get to the bits that matter. Time for a change of fluids and general service. Spend half a day moving her tank and other stuff to a safe place during the process. I guess that's where most of the labour costs are at a workshop.
Anyway, carbs need sorting as well as some electrics. She's a bit throaty during takeoff, at the mo.
