I might be interested in these;I'm curious what they have for abrasive?

The ones previous to this on Ebay: 6) little plastic strips with abrasive sprayed on $24.99+ $6 shipping !!  Someone is making $ there.

Terry..... Gave my K1 a bit of a tune up today. Cleaned and squared off the points (on my last few bits of Blue Point paper sticks and no one knows what they are anymore). Bike runs strong, ready for Spring. I use it a lot and thinking I might try electronic points. What EBay brand are you recommending?

These John??

I found these last year and bought them, they are similar to the ones I used to have from Snap-on back in the 70s.
I used to carry one in my wallet with a white business card(to clean the points after).


Those look just perfect. Mine are the ancient blue ones, down to my last two! You are ancient if you know what they (and the business card) are used for!

Jeff rang me on Friday to say that he'd finished the Roadworthy Inspection, but was really busy and wouldn't have the bike ready to collect on Saturday. I told him that there was no rush, I had some Kawasaki Mach III triples to pick up. Here's the new thread link. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
