?????????? Lovely sunshine over here on gods side of the Pennines :lol:
And shining over here in Lincolnshire too, Gods favourite holiday destination and for a bit of culture and a nice piece of haddock ;)
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Being from West Yorkshire, you wouldn't recognise culture if it bit you on the arse ;)

Doubtless that would be closer to the truth than where you usually stand if I actually came from that part of God's County.

Good to learn you’ve a “wonkey” bike, pretty rare at this vintage. I’m sure you’ll get hold of a second key. What number is it? If I have a spare, I’ll send it to you. I’ve about 50 different old keys in my box from previously key recoding jobs.
Cheers!

Cheers, I'm quite pleased with it. Thinking about trying to TIG my points cover back together but it's fairly obliterated, it's scrap anyway so no harm in trying.

Are these really hard to get hold of / pricey then? I could probably find some time to stick a few sets back together as a side hustle :lol:

I'll get the details off the key and get back to you

As much as I enjoy taking the mick out of thick Yorkies, I will be the sensible one and heed your request. :ugeek: In fact all my posts from now will be positive and sensible. :P
