Picture taken by one of the 33 men leaning on shovels no doubt.

First exhibition since Covid hit. Pity there was a tube strike.

Waved goodbye to the GSXR "Slab Side", another carb job (had a lovely ride in the sunshine!).
MT-09 major service, cams out for 4 tight clearances, bit of a mission!
Barn find AE50, got it running (carb and wiring faults), something a bit different!.
Another Ducati (Multistrada) on the bench now for valve clearances and service, lovely jubly!.

The most recent set of dogs - Molly (brown Lab) and Monty (black Lab).
Went home a few days ago, and I'm rather missing them. Very laid-back and affectionate dogs, no trouble at all.
Didn't really get the chance to update this thread in February, as I was rushed off my feet.
Utterly chocker for the whole month.

4+ hours in on a 21 plate Honda PCX (30,000 miles!), for an indicator fault and not done yet.. Taking the panels off is a joke, far too easy to break one if you're not careful (and even if you are).
Shot myself in the foot as well today, KLZ1000 in for a normal service, turns out it's on 26,000 miles so yet another valve clearances job, probably a day's worth of work by the time it's all in bits and back together.

Finally found my Indicator relay after a few more panels off!.
The LED relay is £70+ so managed to save that with some cleaning but the connector was scrap.
Made an xtended wiring loom and fitted out of harms way up near the charging port 10 mins to get to if it does need replacing rather than hours!.
Found another rotten connector while it was in bits so crimp and seal repair to that as well. Fully taped up after picture.
Been one of those jobs where you can't charge the time spent but hopefully he'll be back in for other work in the future.
Lord only knows why Honda put the relay where they did, on the parts diagram it shows it near where I've fitted it. Hey Ho!

Another day another PCX.. 2019 this time.
Randomly blowing EFI fuse (back/white wires in diagram). Been to another shop who'd just replaced the fuse and sent him on his way (got a couple of days out if it..).
Needle in a haystack job, so started off with inspecting loom for chafing against frame etc and any modifications.
4hrs in (mostly removing panels without breaking anything), seat bucket etc and finally found the fault.
Ironically it was a standard loom guide that had caused the issue.
