Not much to do in the garage at the moment so have been tidying the garden. Yesterday I went for a bike ride to the next village and back. It's the first time I have ridden a bike since I passed my driving test 46 years ago. True I had a 20 yard wobble on Steve's bike in the camping field at VSCC Prescott about 10 years ago but that doesn't count. I quite enjoyed the experience on the deserted roads. Things were enlivened when the chain came off and got jammed in the gear system. Just like driving a Frazer Nash! I was on a fancy mountain bike with 21 gears, that's 18 more than you need.
I might repeat the exercise today, hopefully without the mechanical issue.
Next weeks project is to breathe life into a part dismantled motorbike that has been languishing in one of the farm buildings for years. It is an OSSA trials bike dating from the 1970's. The engine is a 250 cc 2-stroke. A bit of research on t'internet shows that OSSA were a well regarded make in the 1970's.
Time to don the lycra and go for my daily exercise!
