9th and/or 10th March Ferrets bike mission
Ok so as it's nearer the time and because Hoons post reminded me.
Ferret's bike has been off the road since forever, having spoken to him I don't think there is actually that much wrong with it.
From what I gather the main jobs are:
1, the wiring loom is about fucked.
2, The rear wheel has the usual K series corrosion and as such has a recoccuring air leak, and needs a new tyre.
There are a bunch of small jobs and the whole thing needs a general going over.
I really miss Fez being around with his sidecar at rallies and ride outs as I know he used to love driving people around endlessly all weekend on it.
SO with this in mind VJ and me are going to visit Fez on the 9th or 10th and make a start on fixing it, with a couple of pairs of hands it should be back up and running in no time.
I'm putting this on here in case anyone else wants to join in or offer any other kind of help.

That's a pukka thing to do.
I would have considered it if it weren't so close to this weekend as it'll be quite spendy and I'm not working much due to the time of year.
I sort of did my bit a few yrs ago in Germany when he needed a clutch(?) fetching to get home if you remember.
If I had some parts that would help I'd ratpost them to you.
That's how it should be with mates, not getting someone to come over to 'help' you fix yer bike then leave them on their own in the cold for 3hrs while you go shopping like a certain someone we've been discussing on here recently did.
Good on you sir.

To be fair I was planning to fuck off to the pub all day while VJ fixes it.

Not sure if I'll be back on the road by then. But if I am then I'll be wanting a good ride out...
Ferret will be good to have around as he's memorised most of the manual and the online guides on how to fix the thing.
