All, this is my bike .... the beloved Bonnie, ridden all the way from UK to CZ in late 2007 and has hardly been ridden since ... she has be
en neglected and I have missed her!!!. This last week I decided to give her a bit of TLC and take off the dust covers as she has been in storage for over a year. The battery was flat as a pancake and after 2 days on the optimiser things did not look good as the starter motor wouldn't even turn over. So as a last ditch effort I put her on the car charger for 24hrs ......I must admit I did drain the carbs down and emptied her of fuel, (remember the minus 20 deg C), covered her up and rested the tyres on wood and put her away clean and dry. She hasn't been started in well over 6mths .... so I connected her up and .... she started after about 4 tries, I couldn't believe it, after a good warm up she was singing a tune, (am still trying to shake off the childlike grin from my face!!). This has to be testament to good old Triumph engineering.
Once the house is sorted we are thinking that it would be good to provide some accommodation to holiday makers and the biking in this area is fantastic. Maybe I could even upon up 'Mirkovice Custom Motorcycles' one day ???? mmmm..... I have the workshop??!. Friends as well as other people in the village have said we should open up the pub again ... I have plans for this, once all the rubbish is out of the Garaz, (Garage)!.
Its not all about work you know ...... :-)))
