It was a sunny day here; cold, but the main roads were dry. My FB hasn't been out of the garage for over 6 weeks so thought it was time for a run out.
Checked fluid levels and tyres - all good. Fired up 2nd crank, which is normal when I've left her standing for over 10 days or so. Despite a few pumps of the accelerator and then full choke, it's always the same. She will always start straight away if used daily.
I did ~25 miles with a smile on my face. No issues, apart from low sun and a film on the outside of the windscreen reducing visibility a little - easily solved

. I was in some traffic on a dual carriageway at one stage, in the overtaking lane behind another car and a van behind me, far too close to my bumper. The car in front pulled over, so I dropped a gear and floored the gas. I think the van was surprised as I left it in the distance
Have you driven your FB on the road yet in 2024?
