Well this should keep you entertained for a few minutes, so grab a coffee, and some choccy biscuits, and sit back and enjoy....

First it was a jumble at Kempton Park here in the UK on Saturday, so I went with camera and a list of parts to find, but my plans changed when I found a genuine Altette horn, which had a small fault, but I stripped and fixed that today, and as you will see it looks pretty good fitted.

well I hope you enjoyed that?

Next up was the classic bike show at Popham Airfield on Sunday, so I grabbed the old nail out from the covers, a few kicks later and we were off...

Which brings us round to today....

Bloody rain, how am I supposed to fix me old nail...

So here is a picture of the newly fitted Altette,the one I bought at Kempton Saturday, and the same one I fixed today. But oh the joys of working out in the street, thank you rain!



Now the wide awake amongst you may have noticed I have a cover off at the moment, well on my way back from Popham yesterday I had a very bad rattle appear, and trouble accelerating away from junctions, and as I guessed, my clutch basket has come loose.
But that dear readers will be tomorrows project, as it is p***-istantly pouring down here right now, and I am fed up with sitting in the rain.

Thanks guys, we have a few more shows and jumbles coming up, as we head into the back end of the year, including the big eurojumble at Netley Marsh.
