But no money to feed it, for with the bad always comes the good, to restore the delicate balance of the universe. This week's turn of bad luck was my untimely firing (through some fault of my own, admittedly).
However, far outweighing the awful luck of losing my job, was getting my beloved bike back! It had been off the road for over a month, so when an old friend offered to help me out I jumped at the chance! Especially for the princely sum of a few cuppas - although I shall definitely pay him back in the coming weeks.
He swapped over the engine and put the bodywork back on, and it is now ready for the roads again - and admittedly with a little more torque than I remember it... but hey, parallel twins deliver their power in lovely ways!!
Next thing to do to it is to spray the bike. Not sure whether to keep the yellow or not. Black would increase the resale value, yellow would keep it's character. Both equally desirable!
Yellow or black. I think a google comparison is in order...
