I just bought a green 1960 wideline Model 50 and collected it yesterday, so some beginner's questions..
1) First time I've ever had such a difficult bike to put on the centre stand.. Just wondering if there is a particular technique to this.. I've had some 20 bikes with centre stands, and none were this awkward somehow..
2) Has anybody fitted a front brake light switch, I find it kind of disconcerting that cars behind me have no idea I'm braking.. I see Venhill have a cable with an integrated switch..
3) How does one reset the mileage (Km in my case) trip meter?
4) The petrol tap is just on/off, frightening not having a reserve!
Just wondered what mileage/Km you get on one tank approx?
5) How is the seat removed?
Many thanks
