A big thank you to the ebay sellers who thought £15 was reasonable for a small bracket for the helmet holder. You motivated me to make one, so you can shove your overpriced stock right up to the nether most tip of your thank you for asking.

Latest news- I bloody HATE electrics ! A 43 year old bike, and a painter have no business working together. Anyway, after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I now have a spark, working starter motor, and lights. The bin is now in position of a dodgy relay several corroded connectors and what looked like a good battery. Still to do - fit the indicators, exhaust and .... and hit the button !!!

Today was the day ! Three and a half months of fixing a decade or so of neglect and today was the day of first start up. I probably fitted too much stuff which would need to come off again if it was no good, but after setting up everything I could think of and checking it a couple of times, I ran fuel in and gave it a few kicks over with the ignition off and then hit the button. This is not edited and neither is it the second or third go. This is you and me sharing the moment....

Do not be embarrassed by your joy, motorcycle achievements bring a tear to most like minded gentlemen, non motorcycle folk do not understand our ways and they are all the poorer for it 👍🍺

Great work duffer. Couldn’t have started or sounded any better when new. A Tanzanite 250 kicker is a bike dear to my heart. Well done sir.

I'm sure that the previous owner will be moved to tears. Hoping you can strike a deal with her if she wants it back in her life again but of course these things always come down to current lifestyle (and money) at the end of the day.
