I finally forced myself to get out there as there was a camping weekend coming up that I'd promised myself I was going to. I spent a good day spannering, fitted the old tank and connecting up the fuel lines. I also had to re-fit the chrome headlight as I wasn't quite ready to re-wire the black one.
I had a couple of days off work before going away on the Friday so got the bike booked in for a MOT then spent a nervous hour or two while it went through the test.
I needn't have worried really as it passed "nae bother" as we say here in Glasgow.
I've done a couple of things since getting the MOT. I fitted the small mirrors and the black headlight as well as fitting a couple of brass nuts to provide highlights here and there. Can't wait to get the dished tank fitted as I think it will look good with the brass filler cap.
It felt really good getting back out on the road and although the summer has been a washout so far here's hoping for a good few decent week-ends and some good riding.
I need it to keep me sane.
