Well did my CBT a few days ago, was great fun even if it poured when out on the road. Guess it's all part of it. Did it on a little CG was a right laugh, great little bike.
It's slightly scary they let youngsters out on the road after a days training, with very basic road knowledge!!
As far as the build goes I've rebuild the carbs yesterday, some of the jets were in the wrong carbs which wouldn't have helped it's running!!
Currently stripping down and refurbing the calipers.
Got a wait for the locking socket to remove the engine mount bolts apparently honda are behind on supplies due to the tsunami (spelling fail?). So got a few weeks before I can drop the engine to check shims
Got our house contract through for renewal and one point is that there's to be no repairs of motorcycles, cars or commercial vehicles unless occasional maintenance and registered to the tenant. Guess a full strip down and rebuild in pushing the boundaries slightly!

Yer thats what I took it to mean, better clean the oil off the paving before anyone moans though! Its out the way so cant see any issues. As long as we dont have a flat inspection whilst the engine is in the flat!!

Grand son just passed his motor bike test, got a Pug V-Clic, time flies, remember saying I'd do the MGB up for him.
As you say Jay, let him out on the road after a test, took him straight out on to the dual carriageway at Tower Park. He was the lead rider, must be a bit scary.
Last time I saw the MGB it was hoisted up on top of a container at the local scrappy.
Owner thought it was too good to break up.

Yer I was alright as only had to concentrate on the controls of the bike as used to being on the road. Must have been on the bike 3hrs before on the road. For someone that has got no road experience it must be a hell of alot to take in. Prob why kids on scooters are so clueless.

Big jump from a bike to a scooter, as long as they don't fall off, can stop and start, they are let loose on the road.
Glad we don't have to stay up waiting for the putt, putt coming home.
