Tidying up
After last weekend I got sick of tripping over stuff as the garage is such is mess.
So I had a reasonable bash at tidying up.
I got about half done and got fed up because it was quite cold outside and it was a bit drafty.
I managed to get the legshields off the polo to find that the horncast is quite well attached by two stuck screws.
I know I've got a new horncast to use but I would rather not damage this one if I can.
I wanted to move a lot of stuff to the shed where my sandblaster is but the half stripped pushpak is in there so the garage remains full of stuff.
I finally decided to take the plunge and sell the gilera. I need the money for a new car.
I rarely use the gilera so it's got to go. The same can be said for the rest of the scooters (I do a round trip of 140 miles a day to work, not nice on a scooter) but they are my hobby and when I do get one finished I will use it at the weekends instead of the car. I'll also try to go to work one day a week so I can get some miles on the scooters and do some testing of new products like pipes!!
I'll be sad to see the Gilera go but it's the only candidate as it should hopefully raise most of the shortfall of the car money.
