Morgan has been lagging behind, and I feel a bit sorry for Nim. I took Nim to Aldi, and 20 yards down the road, I heard a horrible noise, so I stopped and check. It was the chain, sagging badly. I was starving, so I went to Aldi anyway.
After I come back, I got on with the chain. Nim has a centre stand, it makes everything so much easier. The neighbour came and asked a few maintenance questions. I tightened the chain, it has very little adjustment left, so it won't be long when Morgan has to have the chain replaced.
Morgan also commented about gear being funny. I asked, "What is your oil level like?". He smiled guiltily. Lucky for him, I have some oil at the garage. The oil was not even on the low mark, I put about 0.5L in that little bike.
These days, Morgan rides on 60mph A-roads, so oil does tend to burnt out on these little bikes. Also the actual mileage being piled on doesn't help the chain.
Then I helped the neighbour to find the battery. It is a Taiwanese bike with things in fully position. We found the battery, but inadvertently snapped a chunk of the fairing.
Morgan really needs to look after his bike better.
