    Oh and Count yes thats right its looking better already, those pics were when i first got it.

    more to do though, but just need to ride it to decide how far to go with it, personally i like a bit of history on a bike not a full showroom restore it needs a bit of patination to show its character.

    And totalshell, thanks for the electrex tip they look like a good investment!

    Well its running now taken it for a spin (on private land of course :P)

    Its a lot of fun 40mph is quite scary!

    I’d have thought after 20+ years off motorbikes i wouldn’t have much problem swapping to a bike with gearshift on the other side but i was wrong!

    Now we just need an MOT……….

    Ah, they don’t, you still need to visit a garage, which takes away the convenience factor i was hoping for!

    Correct dosage is important with SSRIs AFAIK, might be worth another go i was very worried about taking them but it was what i needed and there doesnt seem to be a problem if you need to be on it long term

    Some very good impartial advice here

    NB I’m prone to anxiety and just take Citalopram. It’s changed my angst driven personality into a much more normal disposition. Personally, I can’t rate the drug highly enough.

    I agree, I had an episode last year and it helped me get back on track. I have been off it since Christmas and so far so good,, I had some unpleasant side effects to start with but it was worth it.

    Yeah I wondered that, we had the same problem with house insurance once you log a incident they seem to load you even if you pay for the repair yourself

    One thing that has helped me that a CBT trainer told me

    Say to yourself that you will make an appointment to think through the worries at a certain time.
    Importantly, you must do it at that time whenever that is
    Don’t know why it works, but it helps me.

    I catastrophise which is you start with a worry and then you start thinking about connected scenarios and what ifs and before you know it it has grown to be a huge mind jabber

    I think its the original paint too

    I even have the original sales receipt when bought new in Hastings in 1967 £134!

    That was a fair whack then.

    But he was just keeping it dry + leaving it where you wouldn’t miss it

    I had one recently, did not leave a note, just tucked it on top of a wood store,down the side of the house
    I found it completely by accident days later
