Went round to the Father-in-laws to help him get his SH125 out of the garage. Its been sat there for about 8 years. Syphoned out the old petrol as best we could and put a can of fresh stuff in. Hooked it up to a battery and it fired straight up as if it'd been running half hour ago!

Nah, i've got free use of it if I want it. I'll take it for the MOT when its ready. I told him there's no point in dead bikes and he must have agreed as suddenly this happened!

Re: What have you done today thread?
For the first time in many years I crashed my car, muppet.
I was crawling past a minibus in the next lane, he was straddling the lines and with the sun in my eyes I missed something. I've done from the back of the wing to the rear door. I've watched the dashcam footage and it looks like I should have made it.
The minibus looks like it only needs a hub cap and the small panel between door and bumper swapping, something on my car caught his bumper, pulled it out and it gouged the side of mine.

Trapped the semi stray cat that been hanging about ready for it's trip to the vet tomorrow. He's booked in for a check up and neutering.
He's still wary of us, always keeps about 2m away, but was unbothered by half a dozen of us that close. Normally it's just him and me.
If all goes to plan I might have another garden cat tomorrow.
