A bit of WD40
Sunday 12 March 2006; Went round to Mum and Dads. It was our first visit since returning from New Zealand, so loads of chat and catching up on things.
I also got my first look at the bike for a long time. It was looking dirty and tired and not looking at all like a shiny pride and joy. But it was obviously a top bike in its day; check out the chrome detailing on the frame, the Brookes leather seat and a number of personal touches that made the bike unique to my Granda such as the dynamo/light setup and the chunky Constrictor grips.
In all it was in reasonably good condition; everything moved, maybe not as freely as it should, and the chrome was pitted and it was dirty. But it was all there, it just needed work. First job was to give any moving part and any nut, bolt or screw a good dowsing of WD40.
And that was enough work for one day!
