It becomes a little of your soul.

I know what you mean - in fact it already has. Looking at the manual and checking the internet for info is a poor substitute for having the 'bike actually in my possession.

Here is the 'suspension' of the 'bike from the overhead winch - a great sense of security.

The front forks are strapped and the rear wheel is held in the wheel clamp, so I feel quite safe that it's not on its centre stand.

Finally. Did you get to ride it at all? Good luck with the repairs.

No, I haven't yet. The battery was too flat to start it in the yard of the storage place up in Manchester. I nearly gave myself a hernia pushing it up onto my trailer and then back into the garage again! Then home here in Devon we pushed it straight from the delivery van into the garage.

It's not permitted to go on the road in its current condition - it's classed as "unroadworthy" and as such, has no insurance, so I cannot legally ride it on the road. My first jobs will be attending to that damage that makes it "unroadworthy" so that I can present it to the Authority sooner and get it declared "roadworthy" and therefore rideable. For instance, I don't need to deal with the dented tank before getting it examined - that's one item that can wait!
This is the mangled state of the rear mudguard, light and number plate that is part of the damage that makes it unroadworthy...
