Had a few more hours playing Sprints today either side of a two hour Zoom meeting with a Psychologist for one of the brood. TBH tinkering with the Sprint is doing a good job of keeping me happy. I started off tidying up the bodywork and painting the mirrors, also swapped the Kawasaki mirror for a Triumph one. You would probably never notice that the mirror was Kawasaki but I knew so it had to go While that was drying I stripped the dash and decided to paint that as well Looking a bit tired to me so need freshening up. Then moved on to replace the rear brake light switch and wire it in as I couldn’t find a Triumph replacement. Also replaced the cheapie chonky indicators with some more but this time with smoked lenses. I thought about getting some original Triumph indicators but they were £80 and butt ugly. I actually quit like the look of the smoked out ones. Took a surprisingly long time but I had to de-bodge the wiring and get busy with the dielectric grease. Also got the old faded beat up clocks off and got some nicer replacements, don’t care about the mileage change, no intention of selling and if I was ever to do so it would go with both sets. Had this come in the post, don’t know if I will use it but I am seriously tempted. I saw one with a black plate the other day and I thought it looked cool but don’t know if I want to risk getting stopped which is pretty unlikely given where I live. Tomorrow should get it all back together. I have to sort the tickover out then I can do some getting to know it rides.3 points

In Portugal, because of the sound a traditional 50cc scooter makes, we call them vacuum cleaners. That’s what that looks like, a vacuum filter2 points

Got the Sprint all back together today and clean with everything working so it’s time to ride. I’m happy with it cosmetically now, still loads to do but that will come in time. The thing I am most pleased with is the passenger grab handles. Makes it so much easier to put the bike on the main stand. I reckon I have spent around £200 so it now has cost me £710, whether that is a bargain or not is yet to be seen but I am going to get a 1000 miles on it first before I plan to do anything else. That maybe famous last words but we shall see, depends if it breaks or not. I believe the bike has been serviced in the last 1000 miles as the oil, coolant and brake/cutch fluid is clean. It starting well and sounding sweet, charging well also. Tyres are good but I am suspicious of the forks seals. Hint of misting about them but I will monitor them. I have new ones on the shelf for when they are needed. put to bed for the night.2 points

Nobody has nominated you, though. Which definitely gives you the title of sad twat.2 points

That has got to be one of the worst air filter elements I've ever seen and remember that I mainly ride with off road bikes.1 point

I watched that video and thought it would be just about doable……….not a chance of getting the plug cap off without damaging it. I’ll investigate further tomorrow but if all else fails then yes, I’ll have to dismantle the bloody bodywork to remove the seat tub and gain access to the spark plug. Twating thing.1 point

It's looking very nice now, great transformation! I can't unsee that it looks like it's pretending to be a Harley once you cover it:1 point

Ironic that you claim to have a cousin from an area where people are known for inbreeding.1 point

Although it might be difficult to enforce....gotta start somewhere. Holding some of these platforms responsible because of the lame parenting that results in too much grooming, cyberbullying & school shootings that are going on.1 point
