It must be wedensday!
seems the magic rubs off you guys when your minds are all set as one.
I have recently changed the engine in Xsessive. But for swearing cussing and tools trown around the shed, she would not run.
Tonight I got home, and the wind had blown the door open on the shed.
I took it as an omen, tried once more to fire the ole girl up.
I had not tried for two weeks,
Primed the carbs,
Pulled out the choke.
Hit the starter......nothing....fuuk!
So with nothing to lose, pushed the choke in and tried again.
Chough Chough, splutter, Bang!
A back fire!
Checked plug firing order, 1324, nope thats wrong 1432, mmmm.
Hit the starter again. Vrooooom!!! YeeHaaa!
Well, it winds out to 9000rpm sweet as...
No splutter or flat spots......Vrooommmmm!
Didnt know the road to Scargill had so much pea shingle on it in the corners.
Wooo Hooo, bit of correction, a bum clenching moment,
yeah shes runing sweet as
Now just got to get the speedo working, WOF and set for the summer!
Roll on long summer nights, a tank of gass, and the open road.
Looks like I may have to keep an eye open for you guys changing to Wed Night rides soon, especially when you come out my way.
Have fun and get those rides sorted peoples...riding times here again

I might just get the bike back this week, perhaps in time for the weekend. Planning to come along to bug you all tonight for a chinwag, beer and fries...
