To Keep or not to keep...That is the question!

( Sorry, Bill )

 

I just had a rather rewarding experience this weekend.

Whilst clearing out the shed to find some paint to redecorate with, I came across a sorry looking sidestand which I acquired on a write off Le Mans 2 back in the early eighties.

 

Now the Morini 350 Sport I bought a few months back didn't have a sidestand. It was an optional extra back in the seventies. As the bike new was only about 30 quid short of the price of an 850 Commando, I think very few folk sprung ( ) for one.

 

TBH It is so light to get on the centrestand, it doesn't really need one, but I thought I would give it a whirl....

 

Half an hour later I had a Morini fitted with a sidestand which looks the part and works well enough too.

 

 

Well chuffed with this result!

Normally I find a use for things a couple of weeks after I dump / flog 'em! <_>

 

Nige.

I have a whole garage full of things that might come in useful. That's why the V11 is back outside again

I wouldn't think the poor thing is chuffed with that!
