Yeah if you're commuting decent miles a scottoiler is second to shaft drive
FTFY
The Caponord failed its MOT a few weeks ago - the rear brake disc had a low spot and was pulsing - partly my fault for not checking properly, but I barely touch it so hadn't noticed. Of course all the UK suppliers had no stock and were asking silly money so ended up ordering from AF1 in the States, arrived on Friday for a third of the price including customs charges so yesterday was stripping down and rebuilding the rear wheel and brake, again.
While waiting for it to arrive I decided it was about time to get the old Goose back on the road so after a service and fixing everything* that went wrong with it last year, it sailed through MOT. Since then it's decided that one cylinder is plenty for tickover, and with the weather last week it was absolutely filthy, so this morning it got a good ol' clean and this afternoon's job is sorting the fuelling. Always something...
* Not quite everything, I've tried re-wrapping the exhaust but the wrap keeps sliding down. Tempted to do away with it, but the downpipes aren't exactly shiny underneath.
