I try to turn my hand to anything really small goods, craft markets - I got fed up of going to the school 'Xmas, Easter, other delete as applicable' fete and there being only stuff for mums, aunts & grannies so I started making stuff to sell - busy for the next 3 weekends with commercial xmas stuff now.
A few examples :-

Any examples of what you've made recently?

The tool box you made for my bike is brill, and looking better and better the more weather it gets.

Really pleased with it.

Sounds like there is a lot of sentimental love for the bike 👍...... But there comes a time when you need to move on 😉

What a shock to see this thread come up again :lol:

The Pan is still on the road, I've been doing more of the maintenance and fixes myself recently and we're about 20k miles on from when I posted this thread. Spannering jobs have been:- Replaced the fork stantions and new guides and seals, replaced head bearings while the forks were off, replaced brake pads, oil and filters - just got a new set of spark plugs for when a quiet hour or two comes around. I reckon I've saved myself about £1500 in this lot alone.

I have been looking at other bikes but my money is still resting in the bank for now, when I finally do decide the time is up I'll be breaking the bike and selling off the parts - you can get around £100 for a Pan mirror cover and indicator on a well known on-line auction :P
