Arrived today

Still getting things together for that day when the bike goes off to have the engine sorted and back on the road. Saw these and had to have them.

Another part in the jigsaw

A quick check on the shelves in the garage. Would you believe it, there are TWO sets. One on the shelf and another in the crate with the barrels!

The complete engine gasket set and the new right grip with throttle inner.

All boxed with the other parts

Coupes Motos Légendes 2021

Setting a goal!

  • Depending on lockdown. 
  • Depending on Philip Jones or another restorer!
  • Depending on dates.  

Could Coupes Motos Légendes 2021 be a reality for me and the Kettle?

Twenty years after the last visit to the event?

MyRouteApp Route

The circuit at Prenois-Dijon is about 360 miles from the Channel ports. 

On a Kettle that won't be in one go. Nearer the time I'll have to check the dates and see if I can time off from work. Maybe a flexi-day to travel down? Or use that free "birthday" gift from the council's CEO.

Another part in the jigsaw

Another part of the renaissance jigsaw arrived in the post today from Reiner in Germany. A master cylinder repair kit.

It comes with the seals etc need to fix the leaking problem I currently have.  In fact. It has leaked and there is no fluid left in it all.



Another job to add to the list that I will pass onto Philip Jones once the lockdown is over in the UK. I am hoping that will be sooner rather than later.

When I am off for the summer from late July to early September would be a good time to get it up to Telford.


Oh forgot about the three B8ES plugs I bought as well.
