A recent shot taken at Maxwelton Beach near our place on Whidbey Island. I have new fork seals in and the starting is sorted out, this is a one-or-two kick bike now, no matter its temperature. Fantastic.

The bike after a few years in service. Need to redo the fork seals, which gave out after about 300 miles, and nearly all of the reproduction rubber has deteriorated depressingly quickly. As with nearly all British twins, despite careful prep the engine started leaking copious amounts of oil almost immediately. A real shocker!

Otherwise, it’s a nice bike to ride, and I’m finally getting it sorted out after some benign neglect as we’ve moved a lot over the past few years.
