meeting the choppergod in watford...

johno @chopstock 2013

Funny how everytime you want to get away, all of a sudden work appears
 the local pub ( closed due to the landlord doing a runner) 
needs a clean and... 
'can you help us out  - pronto'
of course  sir, your worship etc,

then my lovely partner has a wobbly fit (meneires disease)
so I thought, fuck it , i'll go to the event late (as usual)

but its all finished bar the shouting...
 and myself and the good ship (bitch) Christine
shall fuck off to pastures LINKERTS
on thursday at 11am

arriving at the chopper god residence on the way, approximately 2.30pm
one hundred and twenty miles later for a cuppa

and then my friends, on to  the holy grail...

persist...

 since this shit
cooking and empanadillas
sound proof wall and bookcase 
trying my mates latching relay 
but no lights though
tested the replacement horn switch, - the tester doesn't work 
test 'the new switch' in situ - it doesn't work 
so I try the third switch which arrived yesterday but had been posted first but never arrived so they sent a replacement, the one I just tested.... 
which finally worked - so in for a penny - in for fifty seven pounds
mini latching relay - made in germany
the shit stuff ( got a new battery for the tester - still fucked)
so no lights - and then I read the instructions...
yeah baby... 
they dip too... 
and so now we can go... 
on a trip out, 
ha ha, not that trip out...

 to the linkerts!!!!!!!!!!!

expect the unexpected... or fucking typical...

tidying up the handlebars - switches and wiring 
 drill and tap some holes and feed the wires through...
 looking good, and no fuck ups so far...
nice clean bars, no more external cables, just needs a new small brake master cylinder...
then connect the wiring up and... 
the horn doesn't work - but it does when connected to the other micro switch... but that's  for the head lights...
bollocks, all that work and the switch is fucked

maintenance... the never ending story...

old tricks are best
crappy old wobbly shifter linkage
crappy old crankshaft seal and ingenious removal tool 
made in taiwan
you shall wobble no more
I do like her new old style cover
oh yes, took the inner off for a clean and polish too
glitter baby
