Gilera 4V project
its not about annealing, but refacing the wear. Stellite is a chrome based weld which is so hard only grinding can remove the material.

wheel balancer/bead breaker?
I know about that dodge, who knows if the rim gets squashed and develops unseen cracks. I'd rather have a pro do mine thanks

Vintage helmet to go with bike
I had a lovely 80's Bell helmet, but the plastic just fell apart after a bit. you should be able to get Modern helmets retro styled (but they cost)

tubed tyres I do myself, but tubless I take to a specialist as they have the force necessary to move that sidewall on/off the rim

BLACK JELLY FEELING STUFF UNDER FORK COVERS
fork seals don't pop, in fact they are a real bitch to get out. They leak because there is a minute erosion between the rubber and the stanchion along with pressure from the compressed forks, forces oil past the seals. with all that gunge, its def due for renewal.

SR 125 Top end Rattle
no idea what you just replaced as you didn't actually mention it! what worked loose? the valves are pretty good unless they hit the top of the piston for some reason and then they bend. things like collets (cotters to you?) will be fine unless damaged
-
Did anyone do something interesting today
TIP: spray water on the tent, it acts like a fridge and cools the inside
