I've just about finished restoring my little 1981 Honda CB250RS , progress had been very slow with being so busy with work, but that problem was taken away from me for a while. :) There are a few bits still to do but she's running lovely and great fun to ride.

Thanks folks, I only took a couple of 'before' pictures but it's certainly improved since then - I think. :grinning:
I've added a couple more 'after' pictures too , I usually ride a 1000cc bike but had a 250RS when I was 18, I'm reliving my youth and it's great. :grinning:

i'dlove to do something like that as a project, but with a 1950's Briish classice like a Vincent, Norton , AJS or Triumph.
 
Today so far I have been doing some forestry outside by my boundary fence.

Hovering, polishing the tables etc in the Lounge, moving sofas in my lounge, oh and getting told off by Her in Doors, for banging the Vac about or Oleg as She calls it, yes before you ask She has named the Vac "Oleg"

Having a slanging match with the Snowflake next door, turns out he is a Copper, so best not upset him to much.

Thank goodness the Sun will soon be over the Yard Arm.

What did the snowflake object to? You hacking away at a peaceful tree?
 
I've been looking on facebook at this "25 day challenge" Not sure myself the point of it... 25 push ups in 25 days. The only two friends on my fb feed are both ex army... so its not real a challenge for them.

On the 6th of june, i decided to do 25 days... and build up to 25 push ups.... 25 days from then will be my 46th birthday.
I'm stuck at 15.


I am also helping our NHS and police by NOT demonstrating, trashing statues, burning cars and looting shops in the middle of a global pandemic when we should be AVOIDING LARGE CROWDS OF PEOPLE!
 
I’ve been working mostly. Then eating and drinking too much. Need to go on a diet, when this thing is over. But as there’s not much else to go do and see, I’ll just carry on eating and drinking. This my favourite;

I've also learned that some folks seem to be able to source 4-way Wagos...in the DIY forum, but as I don't have access, i can't ask them where they get them...

Not everyone has assess to the DIY forum mate. I don't as well.
Ask one of the mods if you can have access.

Have a look at CPC for the Wago connectors, they have a variety.
 
Thanks, Spoon...I was being a bit tongue in cheek, as wagos usually come in 2-way, 3-way and 5-way...
I have huge box of 'em...but not 4-way...I just pigtail if i need more ways!

As a complete aside, I have just trialled the Linian T&E fire clips, and they are brilliant!
