Since the '72 is my mistress, the '69 must be the (good) wife - always
reliable if a bit less exciting. Always know how she'll perform.
Felt bad about how I've been neglecting her, so yesterday gave the '69 a
thorough cleaning, installed the new starter button from MG and new seal
around the headlight (BIG thanks to Rob <and Sam for the cookies!>). Had
ordered a new ignition switch too (been having the bike just shut off
momentarily, then come alive again when I jiggled the key), but opened
the original, cleaned the contacts and reinstalled. New rear tire
arrives later this week, so then I can swap wheels back and (hopefully)
have two fully functionally ready bikes once again by the weekend.
Cheers,
