...I'm fettling the Super Dream that I got from JackH's Dad. Changed the
oil, and then sorted out the bodged wiring to the front indicators
(really crap home-made earth connections to each unit: the circuit was
as intermittent as a Labour MP's sex life).

Oh, and someone's buggered the head of the oil filter bolt. All it needs
is a socket welded to it and it'll come out.....

Set to with Loyblox, Solvol, Back2Black, T-Cut and wax polish, and my
Christ, it's coming up nicely. Runs sweetly too.

Good good... apologies about the above issues you've found - Pater bought
this bike 'as is' so to speak, and didn't really use it until quite recently
when he sold the other Superdream he had, off.

So whilst oil levels etc, have been checked on a regular basis, he's not had
cause to do much else to it other than ride it now and again.

Oh, and I will ask about the indicators - the old goat never mentioned any
issues with these to me, and had I known about this, I'd have either
mentioned it in the ad or fettled it myself to ensure it was as it should be
prior to its sale.

Glad to hear its running sweetly though, and once it's all as it should be,
be nice to see some pics of it. :-)
