My Story
Longest Day Up is a motorbike challenge to travel from Lands End to John O'Groats on the longest day of the year between sunrise and sunset. Bikes must have been bought for no more than £300. I have purchased a 1992 82000 mile Honda NTV 600, very tired, and needs a lot of attention.I will add photos soon. Please add GIFT AID to boost donation from government! 9/3/2021, Managed to get it started ok, next job,full brake rebuild, and sort flat tyre! 21/3/2021,Brakes now rebuilt, oil, filters,Carbs balanced.Need 2 new tyres, and sort electrics next. 4/4/2021,1st test ride on Good Friday, it felt ok, a few tweeks, and I thought it was ok, however, back home, discovered the forks seals had blown, forks now stripped out, new seals on the way to me.
