Good weather at last...

and co-incidently, similar thing happend in Canada found on ongoing

As the weather is nice, the ol' ZZR got dusted off and started up. Hurrah for motorcycles.

But not some much for petrol, as in the six months the bike had been standing it appears that the fuel had "gone off".
How did i find this out, well 20 minutes of attempting to bump-start the bike (after nearly running the battery flat), then a rest, then another 10 minutes, where my friend (who has just bought a Triumph America), helped in the pushing. Before the suggestion that the fuel might be bad. So €10 of fuel to top-up the tank, and one last push up the hill, then HURRAH the sound i have been waiting all winter to hear again.
