Taxed again!

One of the benefits of having a classic bike is registration as historic. 

Road tax is free and there's no mot test either.

Suzi taxed and insured again for another year.

Back to May 1999...

Yes. Me and Suzi Triplo in Austria on the way to the Wasserbüffel Club Treffen at Schloss Moosham.

Sadly this event ceased to exist some years ago.

Petrol Leak

I always goll the fuel tank on both bikes to the bottom.of the filler neck to avoid any leaks.

When I was out last week on Suzi. I filled the tank as usual. When I dropped off the stand, the fuel slopped around and there was a slight dribble from the left side.

It looks like the rubber seal inside the chrome cap has worn. I have a new one arrived in the post. These are a massive £8 each.

The cap itself looks a little rusty underneath and the pins that locate into the tank are also looking a bit frail. Maybe I will have to replace that too. 

I am hoping that the Kettle Club have a member discount at Robinson's Foundry in Canterbury. A few pounds off the £35 cost would be very nice.

When I was the Editor of the Suzuki Owners Club magazine, I ensured they had an advert in every edition!!!




Kettle Club Renewal

I renewed for another year today. That was even after my "barn find" post had been deleted after one person had posted a 👍 to it and said how lucky I am.

So membership number 27 carries on for another year.
