now the sun has arrived...



it's time to fire up the bikes after a winter of neglect.

Escpecially as I was reminded this morning that TOGtours isn't so far in
the future anymore.
Heh. You coming?
Certainly am. Either the ZZR11 or the Audi, depending on whether the ZZR
is ready, the missus has had sufficient pillion time before hand[1] and
the weather.


Which reminds me. TOG, when's the ferry home?
IANTog, and I don't know. Surplus to my requirements y';see.

[1] I'm not sure that hooning from here, all through NL, BE and into
France is the most ideal first journey as a pillion!


So, apart from optimating the batteries - any suggestions of what I'll
need to do to get both ZZR11 and B12 to fire up?
For the B12, you will most likely need to add a new set of plugs. They
appear to not like their plugs if they haven't been run up regularly.
Drain carbs, check airfilter, check oil (change, perhaps?) and clear any
nests or small children from the alleged "silencer".
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press th starter.
Was about to post the same. Does surprise me the number of people who expect
thier bikes not to work. The GSXR started up first time after 4 months of
sitting in a garage.
Your optimism astounds me.
I hope you're right, I fear you are not.
