Returning to the thread.

Today I took my “Champion Bike” out and rode about 300 km. to a classic vehicle flea market.

 

Truth be told, I just went to browse around but ended up buying a few items for my pseudo-workshop.

A few assorted cable clamp terminals can solve a cable breakage problem without having to go to the official dealer.

I used one of these parts when I replaced Christine's clutch cable.

 


A motorcycle glass fuse box from the '80s, I found it at a good price, 10 euros for the whole set.

 

A mechanic's stethoscope to listen to the Gremlins inside the engine.

 

A compression tester, I won't have to ask anyone for it anymore, it will be the first thing I will use before I disassemble Christine's engine again.

 

A nice four clock vacuum gauge, I'll have to watch a couple of tutorials on YouTube to find out how it works.

 

Another thing I always wanted to have is a double anti-theft device for full-face helmets from the '80s, I don't know why the hell they stopped making them.
I bought this one still in its original case without ever having been used.

 

I spent about 150 euros from my box of cookies, I told my wife that I hadn't bought anything since I was going with the bike, I was just going for a walk and a look around.

I will soon resume my love/hate relationship with Christine after giving us both some time for reflection.

You know that besides having a very nice way to tell stories (yes, please more of it) your are setting a very high standard in terms of fashion (besides yoour god taste for bikes).
My respect.

Congratulations on finding such treasures.
