I've been sorting through the boxes that contained the Morini this
afternoon.
More stuff there than expected, 4 carbs, 2 swing arms, a complete set of
rear sets/linkages and clip on bars, as well as the std.ones.
3 rear mudguards, one that hadnt even been unwrapped.Hub covers and
brakes for drum braked versions,3 or 4 reg/recs, numerous other black
boxes (igntion maybe).

All clutch/throttle cables are knackered, it'll need new chain and
sprockets, 2 new tyres(the ones on are legal, but really old), a rear
light and indicators, and a few other minor parts.
Everything else seems to be there - he said he'd stripped it down, put
it in the boxes, then hadnt touched it, and it looks like that is true.
the only thing holding me back is time and money - I'm skint at the mo,
but when I do work, I dont have time to do much when I get home.
A few well paid jobs, then I can have a few days off to sort it.
Alan.

Those words will come back to haunt you, you know that?

Well, possibly, but the amount of well paid jobs I've had in the last 6
months can be counted on one hand, so my expectations are not high.

I was thinking more of the "few days" bit, actually :-)
