Harley is fixed

The new carby for the Harley arrived yesterday and I fitted it last night. Fired her up this morning and it ran fine. Now for a test ride out on the streets and see how much of a tune it needs.

It's a good feeling to be mobile again.

No work done on the RGV but....

I did get out for a spin on the Harley. Great fun.
Well at least for a while until I got back home and found I had a flooding carb. Good excuse to just replace this one rather than trust it on the trip to Canberra and back.
