Why won't it start????

So Jak, before this topic inevitably devolved into a slease-pit of desperate degenerate oldies trying to impress with the old double-entendre chat-up lines, did you actually manage to get your bike started or not? Just vaguely interested that's all.
PS I wouldn't insult your obvious intelligence by suggesting your avatar was in any way designed to invite such lame-brained responses. (Just don't change it OK?)

Hey someone's remembered why I started the thread

Threads round here descend into the gutter anyway, with or without my avatar!

No I haven't got it started yet - then again I haven't even opened the garage door! But that's coz my daughter's been ill, and I've got a lousy cold too so we've barely been out of the house.

Planning to have a look at it next weekend - which coincides nicely with a mate dropping off a fish tank - cue fluttering eyelashes and sweet smile

(as if I would)

course I would - if men are dumb enough to fall for it then why not

works every time

Don't be fooled by ol' Red Rex. He's just trying the smooth sympathy approach...

Good luck with getting the 'rex started at the weekend Jak, but what is your mate doing on a fishtank?

Hey Jackie!

Your TRiXie running again

Inquiring greetings from Munich!

Got the fishtank sorted, but then it rained heavily and the bike just got a good wash

Since then I've haven't had any free time - although last weekend I got the electrics sorted in the garage and put up some lights so at least I can work on it in the dry (and without having to beg my neighbour to help me push it uphill and over a kerb to get it back in the garage if I don't succeed!).

It was the plugs - but one of the fairing bolts was rounded off so I admitted defeat and had to get the local mechanic to collect it and sort it out - real shame coz I was soooo determined to start doing stuff on the bike myself

Anyone recommend the best place to get a set of fairing bolts from?

Getting the bike back tomorrow

can't believe it's been off the road for 3 months

Maybe I'm turning into a FWB

Good news is that the sun's predicted to stay for the week down here $\:D/$
