Well. I basically haven't done anything with my bike since I made this post back in May. Shameful!
My tax runs out today, and the bike isn't MOT'd, so I did an online SORN and brought it indoors.
Because it's indoors I decided to drain the petrol out. What a laugh. I've seen babies and dogs drool more than came out of the bike. Nevertheless, I've stored what little petrol came out safely in a petrol can outside.
On the plus side, I'm much more likely to do the jobs that need doing now that I can work indoors where it's warmish and dry. In theory!
