While I was at the show this morning, we got a call from our main client to make a pickup at a new location. I was in the best position to grab it and the boss prefers that I make the first contact with a new clinic, so I dashed home to grab the work bike and got on the road.
Wasn’t too far-flung a destination, so I was done in the early afternoon. My friend who’s been storing my Enfield works from home when he’s not traveling. Swung by with the Triumph and swapped it in his garage for my long-lost Interceptor that had been parked there since mid March.
She was covered on a tender, so she was clean and fired right up. This is a weird known issue with this bike, for some reason after sitting for so long, the rear brake was completely non-functional. The pedal went straight down with no braking at all. Got her home and bled the rear and it’s fine now. Strange…
I can’t thank my friend enough for offering free storage until we get enough business to open a shop that isn’t the boss’ garage and mine.
It will be nice to zip around on the Enfield. I’ve missed her!

You know what? I actually would like a pickle.
