Des the size of your garage is not relative to the amount of room in it. There is some weird thing that dictates the bigger the garage usually the less room. I know that doesnt make sense but every time I have build a larger garage it has had less room in it.

She who must be obeyed says I have too much junk but what do women know about these things..................................

Thanks guys,

With all the bits and pieces involved in moving I haven't yet made enough room in the garage to crack on with the final assembly. Hopfully this weekend will see some progress in getting the tinware mounted.
Here is a "naked" pic taken mid move.

Hello folks,    99.9% complete!

Project went on hold to complete house move but now tinware is on and bits and bobs sorted just have horn to fit inside Nacelle and apply for original registration. Found an original Lucas King of the Road battery in my stock from late 60's never had any acid in it. Filled with battery acid which I have also had since 1969 and voltage stabalised after an hour at 5 volts. Overnight charge brought it up to 6.8 volts so happy with the result.
Took her for a quick spin last night, first time its run under its own steam for 41 years.

Regards,

Des

Thanks guys, lets get the terminology right, tassles are what you stick on your girlfriends nipples. What u see on the bike is the original cover with a Rocker Fringe fitted by PO before i purchased in 1967 . Sorry before u ask  have not got pics of tassles.

Des,

Three things, first,  congrats on the bike, but can't see it from the Blackberry. Second, don't you think it's about time to stop referring to yourself as a "New Member"? You've been around here since before the Toyota debacle. Third, speaking of truly new members, have you read any of  Anita's posts since  she joined us a couple of weeks ago?
