I got that 200 piece Halfords Advanced set in September. Today I noticed one of the attachments was faulty. Hadn't used it before so never noticed. Anyway took it to Halfords. Showed it to the fella and within a minute I had a replacement. No receipt or anything. Simple and painless and a bit of a relief as I have heard of people having trouble getting bits replaced.

Finally managed to get out on the bike for her first run in a couple of months. Was really nice to be on her again. Freezing though. Roll on March!Image

Very nice - in all departments.

Why the lack of 'go faster' decals?

Haven't got round to them or going for 'street sleeper''?

To be honest I was going to put decals on. Then I decided I would just put tank decals as I like the blue and black. Then after a while I just kinda decided to keep it as is. Now I am unsure what to do. At some point it will be coming apart again! 😂

Took the golf out the garage and finished off the lady few bits . Drove it to the mot station and it passed with a clean sheet !! Not bad as it hasn’t turned a wheel since I brought it over a year ago lol . Got a few more jobs to do on it before I let the wife loose in it

Well done Lloydie :clap: it's always a good feeling when the vehicle you've been preparing for it's mot test passes :thumbup:

You should be okay for a few brownie points now :wink:

The no decals does grow on you..... you just need a set of number boards :thumbup:

Some of you know about my recent job woes. Had a meeting today to decide if i would be unemployed or not after 10 years in the same job. Happy to say I am still enployed and the storm will not be for sale in the near future.
