welcome red
im in the same boat as you as I too will be asking a lot more than advising, simply becouse I dont know enough , the lads on here are more than happy to advise which is great
My bike is meant to be a release from the pressures of running a painting and decorating business, so far I have boarded the loft and fitted a light for safe storage of the parts that come off, demolished side gate and built a strong secure gate thats wide enough to ride through and high enough to deter casual intruders
got the base down for the new workshop, im hoping to start work on the bike before winter sets in
what part of france are you in , just got back from perigord vert, lovely part of the country in the south west of france, did the usual builder thing and looked at property while I was there, got to think of my pension
