Its Still going!

Well sort of, bikes been ready to ride for a few months now but have had no time to get it out the garage and get a MOT on it so i can legally do some shake down miles, its been almost 25 years since it was last used on the road!

Here's a pic of it completed late last year

Pulled it out the workshop a few weeks back to make sure it was still healthy, started 3rd kick and fired into life with no issues which was a pleasant surprise!

Re: SST 250 rebuild

Hopefully P yes, Tripple is on the list for sure all depends on its reliability I guess. although i do have a complete spare motor sitting in the shed that can be swapped out in an hour!

Once its legal and on the road i will start getting some miles on it and see how it does!

Re: SST 250 rebuild

Wohoooo it passed its MOT yesterday! or as the Tester said it flew through! which was shocking as it coughed and spluttered there and back(about a mile each way)

Docs off to the DVLA this week so hopefully it will be all legal in the next few weeks and i can get out on it! while im waiting i have a rebuild kit for the carb and i think the throttle cable needs replacing as no matter how much greasing of it it still sticks! Venhill here we come! need a speedo cable as well.
