Hi Les..

Is a "Nail better or worse than a "Shed".... :lol:

I try and steer clear of either of them tbh..but with a bit of TLC I'm sure you can bring it back from the dead.

Hi cheers for replies

Colour of my nail is Teal. I think a nail is slightly better than a shed!!

Will be dedicating a whole weekend to in depth cleaning once the rain stops! Have spent the last three days ridding very carefully in and around the Portsmouth area now that the bike is running. Changed oil and filter yesterday - screwdriver thru the filter job!!

Cant decide if to take the storm to the isle of man TT or just go on my tried and trusted Hornet??? :beer: :beer:

"Nail"- when you have a puncture, keep the nail and throw away the bike...... :D
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
