Had lots of bits in the post, trying to free the pistons from the calipers. Sprayed lots of WD40 everywhere. Still it’s a start. Compressed air or grease gun should do it Put a block of wood between them though or they’ll fly out at speed

Finally waved goodbye to the 350N Nine years or so of throwing money at it, having endless laughs with Thrushy as we put it all together .. usually while stoned .. Ah well. Onwards and upwards as 'they' say. RIP Gary Thrush. Ccok O' The North, oh-so-funny, and genuinely the nicest guy anyone could ever know.

It's a shame you have let the bike go after you & Gary restored it. It's a great shame he didn't get to ride in the Yamaha Past Masters ! That would have been very funny. Gary was a top bloke & a very hard rider, but also fair. RIP Gary. Just hope the new owner looks after it. JC.

Went for a ride round North Wales. The weather was perfect. Liverpool to Abersoch, then to "Plas yn Rhiw", Porthmadog, Bala & then home. Slight problem left baffle broke off & fell out. So nicked a bolt from the headlight bracket and all fixed, "scousers will nick anything"!265 mile trip, must do it again soon. just got to fish the broken baffle out now.

Put some cartridge forks on the hybrid. I now have compression damping. These have gold (ZXR) uppers and I think they go with the colour scheme better than the polished silver ones that were on before Whilst I was at it I tweaked the carbs dropping the needle a notch and winding the air screw out, as it was way too rich low down. Pickup (ok in neutral) is perfect. Hopefully better when on the road. Just need the monsoon season to finish and go for a ride IMG_9773 by Philip Mellor, on Flickr IMG_9774 by Philip Mellor, on Flickr

I do have a set of ACS500 and California Slalom trucks, and a set of Sims Snakes and Powerflex 9 wheels that may make it to the 'Bay. Some of this stuff gets silly money.

Went through my collection of radiators only to find that although none of them leak, they all need a bit of work
