Another spruce up…..
Most of the Ural build is now finished apart from the winter projects that will be done when the bike is laid for the winter. Brake changes, drum skimming, brake lever and some other ideas which will improve the riding comfort next year.
The Lambretta build page is up and running although there wont’ be much else to report until I get the parts back from the vapour blasters in Reading so I can start the engine rebuild.
The paint will be sometime in January and the powder coating will be done probably just after the parts have been ‘roughed up’ at the blasters.
There have been several domestic projects undertaken, replacement of windows and doors throughout and decorating etc. Debs has worked her magic in the garden and that’s coming on as well. We’re not sure if we’re going to get it landscaped next year, still deciding.
Need to change the car at some point and thinking about solar panels, battery storage and generators.
