Rust preventer.

It's brilliant for all types of corrosion I use it a lot for cleaning panels it makes them shine!

Bloody expensive but it smells lovely! ;-)

Had a day getting no3 Seed started it's been 7 years since it last run the cobwebs on it can confirm that.

Removed the tank emptied the rank smelling fuel out and gave it a clean with jizer. Removed the fuel tap and cleaned that thoroughly, and left both in the sun/rain/sun/rain to dry out.

Removed the carbs which are so gummed up that the butterflies are stuck shut, so had a spare set on the shelf and put them on with new carb rubbers.

Replaced the breather pipe which had perished.

Fitted a new battery and put fresh fuel in the tank and crossed my fingers.

Away she went and purrs lovely, the motor sounds quiet and tight.

Checked all the lights, all working. Just needs some new tyres and it's ready for the mot.

You got to love these bikes!!

You, Sir, are a total and utter bastard.

Obviously, with taste and a keen eye for an "investment"..which is what I am sure you tell the lady wife!

Good skills mate. You should set up an NC30 hire business....

Yes have to admit I have been lucky with the last 3 bikes I bought. All three less than a grand you can't grumble can you.

And yes Tony I only own one bike! You know that. Lol

Hi Jas.

Just got lucky I guess, I don't go chasing bargains but if they crop up then I will buy it.

It seems a bit mad having so many NC's but I'm only buying them to save them from being broken or some little snotty nosed yob ripping it apart and riding it into a hedge.

So in my eyes I've saved 6 NC's from being trashed.;-)
