    Came across a service manual re the above at an old farm house today. Cover is well worn but pages inside are good. It's 99% complete. Last page listed on index is 7-45. Last page in the manual is 7-32 so missing a couple of pages. These relate to regulator,  battery,  lamps, horn and tools. The rest is all there. Thought it may be of use to somebody here. Cost me $5 so cover that and postage and it's yours. Not looking to make any money just help someone out maybe.

    Yeah, who cares about that pesky electrical shit?!
    Seriously though, kudos to you to offer the manual to a good home - it will be a great help & valuable to someone. The service manual for my bike was the first and most useful tool I ever bought for it.

    He said there were a lot more Harley manuals but had been sold minutes prior to me getting there.  He is having a clearance sale that is like a permanent garage sale.  Just drive in off the highway and see what takes your fancy.  The front of the property is pretty much cleared out, however there are three or four large sheds further down the rear of the property.  40 years of collecting and hoarding stuff, he did let on that there were bikes there and also cars, hence the workshop manuals.  There were plenty more old car manuals there as well.  Getting a look at these bikes and cars proved rather difficult however.  Had no interest in letting me look further. Actually had the rest of the property roped off.  Im hoping he will open it up later on.

    Done mate. PM me an address and I'll sort out postage and let you know. Might not be for a day or so if that's ok. Away working at the moment. Glad someone snapped it up.

    Ive got a five year old brand new pair of size 10 boots . An ex army dude gave them to me .
    He reckoned they were army issue. Same deal as binnsy. If anybody wants them they can have them.
    I will post a couple of pics later.

    That sounds like a good idea mate. Dont know if its been tried before but we all have shit lying around we will probably never use .
    When I get the pics of the boots I will start the FREE TO A GOOD HOME thread.
