[jools]

[jools]

..and some of the leathers ...

[jools]

oh how could i forget... the best one yet ....

What a great find!
Clean and oil those tools and use them well.

And of equal importance, how about a better pic and info on the bike? Is it yours?
I used to ride sport bikes (the last 2 were Ducs) until I got too old and fat and had to transition to a big 1600cc cruiser. My wife enjoys the back seat much better, but I still scrape the floorboards constantly diving into the curvy bits!
So if the bike is yours, you're into watches, AND can make straps you're going to have an awful lot of suitors around here! ;-)

I'm sorry I'm late to the thread but I felt a disturbance in the force. It was as if thirty thousand watch nerds all cried out at once after finding their perfect woman.

Yep, the Bike is mine ,he is a Triumph Street Triple R ( the same one in my user pic ) will see if i can find a better picture, love it :wub:... nothing like it in the world :maty:lol.. nothing wrong with a big cruiser, really like the Triumph Rocket III - too heavy for me tho , i would tip over at the first set of lights :facepalm::lol:

yes i will get round to cleaning up the tools on my next days off, there is something quite special about knowing these belonged and were well used by my granmother , wish i had the chance to have known her better - im sure she would have been pleased to know they were going to be used again tho
