Quite an adventure with the bike, four weeks without the car has been bad enough. Hopefully it gets through this year ok, after that it's getting a short block put in, because I already know my compression won't be perfect.

I have no idea why my spare tire has an inner tube, it's a '77 model, and I assumed the spare was a michelan X, same as the others. It has tyre shop prices chalked on it, so my best guess would be that someone bought it as a cheap spare in the 70's, when tubed tyres were still widely available.

Anyway, I'm happy to have it back, the only real issues are that I can't drive it much till I get some new wheel studs (local Volvo shop gets them for me on Wednesday), and that I often have to hit the starter solinoid with a breaker bar to get it to crank.

Do you still have the bike?
