We'll mind it

A German couple has recently left for furlough and before their departure, they were looking for people to mind some of their things. One of these being ‘Oreo,’ a cat they were minding for another family on furlough and the other, their moto. Well needless to say, it’s the moto we’re minding – much to John’s excitement and Katie’s hesitation. The cat ended up downstairs J

John has already spent time brushing up on his riding skills around the centre and given the bike a good clean. He has also restored the wheel lock which has apparently been stuck (unusable - the lock, not the bike) for years which he was quietly pleased about. More recently, John has been looking into engine maintenance and tuning (gotta get the most out of that massive 100cc's!) with the help of Scott, a young Canadian lad working with AIM who knows a thing or two about motos. It has been a long time since anything mechanical has been looked at and there are plenty of things to fix up. Now John just has to find the time to work on all they found!

  

Unfortunately, getting a license has proved more difficult than first thought. No licenses are issued to those with 3 month visas, so we'll have to wait another month until our visas are extended. It seems our driving adventures of both the 2 and 4 wheel kinds will have to remain inside the walls of SIL for now.
