New to me bike day.

Well my T300 Hinckley was delivered today.   
it is old and was cheap but I am chuffed to bits with it.   Somebody has thrown a lot of money in consumables at it in the last couple of years.    Starts on the button and sounds as sweet as these things ever get.     I have no history apart from what I can glean from the DVLA MoT check.    I can see a lots of tinkering in my future.

All in good time.  I am chuffed with it, needs lots of cosmetic TLC but is pretty spot on mechanically as far as I can tell.   Newish discs and pads, hel braided lines, tyres less than 2k on, new back shock, new chain set.    Needs a new fuel tap but I can get a kit for that.  Also have no clue about valve checks so will need to get that done before to long.  Apart from that a fluid change and all should be good to put it on the road.
