Yeah I agree, especially with T300's and their delicate spragg clutch. From what I have read well set up clean carbs and strong battery are a great way of protecting it.

Good luck mate, some lovely cheap projects out there that would suit you.

Well that was an hour of high tension but the carbs are back in. Won’t lie it’s not a pleasant job but doable with a bit of patience and a hair dryer to warm up the rubbers. The bike started first time on choke, came off choke reasonable quickly and once warm was able to set the tick-over to where it should be around 1050 ish. Supposed to be 950 to 1050 so no complaints. Still have to check the carb balance but to be honest it’s doesn’t seem far off IMHO. The point for me is that the bike ticks over well off choke now which it didn’t before. So for now I will take that . Still be a bit of fine tuning to come but I am a happy bunny. Still have to clean the tank out before the bike is rideable but my garden is currently like the Somme so getting the Sprint in and out isn’t easy on my own so no rush for that. Much else to do.

Wow pot and kettle

Started refitting the carbs today, they passed the leak test before going on the bike. Got halfway through fitting them and got called away. Hopefully get chance to do more tomorrow.

Only ever been to Plymouth Harley, they weren’t good and have since gone bust.

Wow that was cruel

You can see how dealerships should be run in this video, never had that experience in all dealerships in this country. I am enjoying Rich and Ewa's trip in the States.

Double Dinn got him?

That’s my end of the garden I use what I have . Making do is a weakness and a hobby of mine. . Where is the fun in throwing money rather than ingenuity, unless it’s a bike of course

Is that a double Dinn stereo on that Harley?

Well HH is a happy bunny, apparently his bike is going much better now with the new pipe, apparently the handling is on point now and the front brakes are awesome. Funny how having the right brake lever and straight forks does help . Seriously I am happy he is.

Well I have been happy as a clam playing wood butchery this morning. The storm finally broke the rotten corner of my shed. It gets the brunt of the weather and is 25 years old. It wasn’t the most expensive shed when I bought it so no complaints. Anyway got my two favourite toys out and set about milling up some old fence posts and off cuts into as close as the right dimensions to do the job as I could. Before After I would have like to have done more as the roof still needs attention but rain stoped play. It is weather to tight but needs more love for a permanent fix. I want to get the whole shed insulated and ready for cladding before next payday. Going to piss down tomorrow so excellent time to tidy the shed and get the carbs back on the Triumph

Ok, must have missed that detail. Three boats got caught by it, one looks fucked but the other two are save able. I am enjoying seeing how they are recovering the boats. I like every day engineering stuff like that. It’s pretty well documented on YouTube by droners. They had a Mog doing the winching yesterday

Don’t think so just the embankment gave way. Looked very dramatic when it happened lucky there were no casualties.
