Pootling about the other day ,in the middle of Nowhere and I drove past this old place. I think loads of villages would have had a little garage like this. Proper history!

Back in the day I could "field strip" the carb on my FS1-E at the side of the road and have it all back together in 5 minutes. Seems no matter what you did, put the oil in first/last/shake the bike like buggery, a great dollop of that shot of 2 stroke oil would sink to the bottom and fill the float bowl within a mile of the garage. Cover off, pull carb and empty oil back into the tank. Ah, happy days.......
