Will it ever start

It's now getting towards the end of March and still we can't get the donor bike to run. Our intention was to get the bike running then sell it to finance the "build" of the cafe racer.

We have replaced the diaphragms in the carburettors, installed a starter motor (for another donor bike), put in a new ignitor and ignition switch and still nothing.

Next step is to get some decent spark plugs and see if they make a difference. In the meantime I'm off to the coast ...

The Simple Plan

It's "workshop day" and Paul is at Yamba so Peter and I decided to go it alone. The plan was simple ... meet at my garage at 9am, fit the carbs and get the bike running, and then have a discussion on where to from there ...

Well we fitted the carbs ... did not get the bike running and then had some lunch. After fish and chips we bought a new speedo on Ebay and then Peter left as he was going out that night.

What do the army reckon about plans ... something about them being perfect right up until "execution".
