Looks like you have been busy!
Good idea upping the security and you have done a good job!
It ly thing I would do it put a little shelter over where the bike and bins are kept just to keep it out of the weather and maybe even put a gate in front

Cheers stew, I am debating a gate, its a case of seeing how the bike goes in first. I do like the roof idea as I'm planning on building a door canopy, problem is, the victorian house is small, or as I like to call most UK properties, the size of sheds. So the front room which has an expanded window compared to the original windows you see on the other properties is the only real source of light, building a canopy would block the light out, but I'm struggling to imagine by how much, I could get the perplex sheets used on conservatory type extensions buy I think that would look way to tacky, I would rather use the stock 6"x9" stock red tiles. However its food for thought

Yeah I k ow what you mean!
Would definitely throw a gate on if the bike it's ok.
What about a shelter just shoulder high so it sits under the window? Just to give a bit of weather protection

Thats not a bad idea regarding shoulder high shelter, built from copper treated timbers it may actually look quite nice with the plinth painted. I'll see how it fits when I get it saturday, got to remove all the decals which I am worried about as some people have moaned that the decals have lacquer sprayed over them and the paint work which could prove interesting.

Might change sprockets like I did on the YBR depending on how if feels as the YBR was wayyyyyyy overgeared to just past 90 which it would never achieve.

Yeah would look good!
What bike is it?

Chinese bike

Picked up my new XTR-S chinese bike today in 13plate today, will get some pictures tomorrow.

To be honest I am impressed, feels more nimble and more well balanced than the YBR, performance wise its very similar to the YBR and overgeared so front sprocket will be getting changed. To be honest the chinese are constantly improving things which I was shocked, as I read old reviews about the rear arm bolts rusting etc, on my one they are brass to stop this, so they are constantly improving them. Real sh!t thing is the speed which is not the words most accurate and the main speed is KMH with the sub speed being MPH.

Also whats a good chemical I can use to remove stickers?
