What have you done on your bike today?

I thought apple cider vinegar was supposed to be the best for rust removal 🤔

Vinegar removes metallic oxidation. Shines up an old penny a treat. I reckon the molasses is sealing as much as removing.
Don't reckon I'll be chucking Sarsons and Tate & Lyle treacle in the Trumpet's fuel tank just yet though...

In fact, this thread has reminded me. Need to brim all the bikes with E5 and a dash of stabiliser. Must do that this weekend.
 
When I was a kid the farm we lived on used to get Molasses delivered in 44 gal. drums for the Horses to eat with their Oats, I would go out to the stables with a big spoon and jar and nick some for my mornin' toast, lovely stuff, made my coat shiny too.
 
Went for a bimble early on to get out of the way of the electrician. ‘Twas a tad brisk, but had the Peaks almost to my self, stopped at a local beauty spot (Monsal Head) to take a pic for you guys. X

Trimmed the bin out of this one, this isn’t that type of Forum.

Had to come home, had another memorial service to go to, this time a friends Father; but on a lighter note the quiche and the sarnies were excellent.
 
After 39K on The 1098 it was time for a new clutch Hub drum and plates etc. It's now also got a pretty gold pressure plate and stainless springs, which waranted a new open clutch cover.
A long time ago a forum member gave away a standard clutch cover which was a bit scratched and dented.
So with the help of a middle of Lidl hole cutter and my air powered saw I came up with an open clutch cover. The only decision now is what colour to spray it

I bet they weren’t selling ice creams there today
 
Today i went down to the garage to do a few mods on the Enfield that i found on youtube in india with subtitles :) , got the seat off and the fuel tank. I then set the clutch to it's correct setting( i know the fucking thing doesn't run but thats my ocd kicking in) i then got the fuel pump and fuel filter out and that was it for me, fucking freezing in that garage!! I'm upstairs in front of a fucking fan heater drinking some Yorkshire tea thawing out. I will get back on it tomorrow as it's meant to be a lot milder, apparently!:rolleyes:
