Nice! Just don't park the bike on it (unless it's cleaner than the rug itself!).

Rode it. Now waiting to ride it again. A big thank you to Red and Max. It is the best bike ever.

I just spent 2 hours sinking stout listening to blues sitting on a milk crate with a torch looking at every inch of the thing.
It's going to get ridden alright.
Bikes Only were great. No hassle, pickup on time. Reported a scratch. 2mm? after that journey. That will become patina in short order.

Cleaned my carbs in the kitchen sink whilst the MemSahib worked a late shift- proper naughty!
She will return and say she can smell petrol and I will of course lie and say it’s a car outside- she will then say “What’s this oily toothbrush doing in the sink?”
I am in so much trouble…

Serves you right.
You should have put her toothbrush back where it belonged after you’d finished with it.

Since I got it back in May-June, I've done 15 km with it. I had to stop because the pain in my neck was so bad that I couldn't tilt my head back to see where I was going.
I'll give it another try when it stops bloody raining, but if the test is inconclusive, I may well try to sell it to buy a more mature man friendly machine, albeit one where the points and magneto have been replaced by an electronic ignition and a dynamo.

After all, it doesn't have points.

Sorry it is being difficult for you. I hope that you can find someway to adapt ...... either you or the bike ..... so you can get a bit more riding before you send it on.
Maybe fold a heavy quilt onto the tank to rest on ......... I used to do that with my sleeping bag when I did long distance with my SFC.

Part of my problem is due to the fact that I did long distance with the SFC with a rucksack. It buggered up my neck.
Then more recently, 4 years ago, I was operated upon which cut some of the nerves in my neck, leaving me with painful cramps. That and 50 years of buffeting on bloody motorcycles. Sit up and beg position suits me fine, with a light helmet. First criteria of choice for a helmet. I have a Bell that weighs in at 1100 g.
