Getcha Motor Runnin' (dah! da-na-dah!)

Or not...
My little motorbike is 50 this year, so I thought I'd give the old girl some TLC. I'm amazed by how many parts for it can still be bought new, but two bits are unobtainable.
Therefore I sent the old bits off for reconditioning. Four months ago. Will I ever see them again? (You're on the edge of your seat, I can tell!).
Meanwhile the engine has sat on a workmate in the conservatory for all that time. The other half has the patience of a saint, but for how much longer? Will the bike ever run again?
These questions will be answered here! Maybe. One day.
