Sorry I didn't make it today, we have a bad flu in the house and I didn't want to risk passing it on.

Further to our conversation about timing lights and timing.  I misremembered about the timing marks on my CB750.  There are two timing marks.  The “T” mark denotes top dead centre.  Then there is a “F” mark that denotes the timing at idle.  I got to wondering if I’d timed it in error to the TDC mark (sometimes I do stupid stuff).  So I checked it today.  All good, timed to the “F” mark.  Whew

  Beancans!!  That’s the nickname of the mufflers on John’s Mk111 Commando. Official name is “Reverse Cone”, but like the pre Mk111 commando muffler nick name is “Peashooter”., everything  has a nickname.

  John, your bike’s left side idle circuit is totally plugged.  If I remember and can find  some wire, I’ll give you the correct stuff to use.

Thank you Steve for giving my Norton the heavy leg to get it running after coffee.   There is more to the story afterwards and I will share next time we get together.

I was disappointed to find that Fresh Street have re-arranged their store with less options.
They longer have a range of pastries to have with your coffee.
Others were disappointed with the service provided.

  Their lack of service was not impressive. The normal girl has returned to school, the new girl was having her break when you guys showed up. Management dropped the ball big time..you don’t schedule the coffee shop worker their coffee break during the busiest time of the day unless you have a temp fillin . Very basic stuff.
  They are doing big changes to their coffee bar, I think turning it into a deli /cafe combo.. another upper management decision  which we shall see if it’s correct. I never bought their pastries , I got my muffin over at the bakery area..
