  Ah,    really    no  worry   :)
   
 ( Interesting to read the eligibility  opinion / comments  anyhow .)
 
   Keen  to try and get this bike up & running for  2016 vinduro rides .
   
  Need to find more shed  time  .......not much to spare at the moment.   ???

 Regards ,
                  Steve

  Had some spare time  today , so spent the afternoon in the shed and got this bike  running .
 Engine  has good compression  , also sounds nice & tight.
   Cooling system has no leaks.  Also  removed water pump cover & inspected ; all in good order :)
  Now really  keen to have this one ready  to ride for the new years' vinduros.

  Regards ,
                 Steve
