Saw a lot of tank bags use magnets. I have the fear about using magnets to hold anything to anything, especially whilst moving and vibrating. Sod Oriental special magnets. Straps ftw.
Tank covers would be pretty easy, and looking online maybe it’s just the bags are so damn ugly, why I can’t envisage their use. That, and a laid back scrapmobile like mine has ample room in the pillion area to strap down a bag to the grabrail. I’ll have a think about the most useful setup for myself and then get to making something to try.
The guys at the mechanics called just now. Apparently they have stripped down the carb, checked valve clearances, put a new spark plug, oil change (it was overfilled they said), replaced the something-filter that was falling apart, and they said the battery charged up fine so didn’t replace it. They also put some air in the tyres to see if that improves its handling, before swapping out for any different ones. £60 all in, and done.
Gotta decide after more than 15-odd miles by bmx, and wet misty rain if I’m too tired to pick it up today.
Bet you were glad it was Vauxhall, not Peckham!

I had to push my TZR250 from Vauxhall to Fulham one night because I went to the garage in Vauxhall and jet washed it. The coil dried out 15mins after I got home and it started.
