I thought I’d finished working on the Trident and got it off the ramp, and what a struggle that was, it only wanted to slide across the surface. Finally I managed it and wheeled it outside so I could start it up and actually listen to it running properly.
Fine, I got the Commando out,
and that as usual started first prod of the starter button and quickly settled down to a nice idle.
So, to the Trident, fuel on, tickled, ignition on, thumbed the button and it refuses to fire up. Oh buggerit I need to check what I’ve done to the ignition system as it was working the last time I checked.
But now to the real problem. I can not get it up into the centrestand. It’s a heavy bike granted, but I’ve had heavier, and none so awkward. Yes, I do have a lifting handle fitted - but it is beyond me to lift it. Perhaps as a consequence of my recent heart attack I’m losing strength - but the Commando pops up like a dream.
Is there a knack, or am I just too knackered?
