Out of hibernation

Maybe too soon... but it was a nice day today, so couldn't resist getting the bike out from under its covers. Some photos here: Out of hibernation - a set on Flickr

Started on the button. Only slight issue was a small fluid leak from the pipe in one of the photos above. I think it was Brooksy who was telling me the standard clips are not up to much, so it might just be a case of replacing that. Once the bike warmed up the leak stopped.

It also got a new screen and some stomp grips. I'm after some new short levers next.

Who knows, I might be riding it again soon... that's just doomed us to a month of snow then.
 
Did much the same yesterday, fired it up, first time since October.

M,there is a howto for changing the hose clips but it's for the gen2.
 
You got it out started it up & didn't have a widdle run round the block?
Screen looks good, and yes, those hose clips are pathetic.
 
Must have been a week end for fe titling the Tuono.

I dug mine out, fired it up, then decided to strip the back suspension to grease all the bearings.

The swinging arm is ready to come off, but there is a fecking exhaust pipe in the way
 
There is an exhibition on at Shildon railway museum till next week end.

It may be the last time that there will be 6 steam trains A4 class including Mallard will be together.

Some people on here will remember them, loads faster than a tram.
