Looks like a great day as ever, with El Presidente hosting! My Grainstorm didn't go as smoothly as it should have done. Bike excitedly uncovered just after 07:00 and a quick wipe over to ensure it was sparkling. Set off, all well and good until the engine seized on the A249 An anxious few seconds fo...

Fitted my BSABloke mirror extenders.
Nice to be able to see what's behind!

Cheers Lloydie, I'll give that a go

It kept coming on this morning, especially when decelerating, then would switch off under power (from cold) After 10 minutes or so, it went out and stayed out. There are no leaks, no smoke, plenty of clean oil in the engine and it's running absolutely fine. Is the oil sender prone to connection prob...

Thanks chaps

As above, sadly it's true.
I'm about a month past the 2 year cut-off point so instead of £120.00/Year I'm now paying £330.00 (Hastings direct via compare the meerkat or one of those other sites)

and the realisation setting in that I should have left at the beginning of February to make it on time on the Enfield, something had to be done. The morning air was thick with dueling banjos as I nosed the car into Grain yesterday morning to pick up Mac. Then onwards through the morning traffic chao...

Looks lovely mate, a set of fruity micron stainless cans and that will be the perfect bike for somebody

I'm just leaving now Mac, as long as this wind dies down, and I can clear the Medway towns by the second week of April, I should be with you for Grainstorm

If only I had one of those fast red 'storms

Yup, just finished it. Last Friday actually was my first 5K :cool2 Never thought I'd be able to run, ever, but have since done another 5K Monday morning and another one today. One little tip, the app assumes you'll be able to run a 10 minute mile which is quite tough going, so once up to week 6, I r...

Yes, thanks again Mac, I can report that it was a warm, snug journey last night even in the frequent rain storms

I stopped at around 2:00am and camped under a bush on the grain road, shortly going to resume my journey and hoping to be back home some time in the middle of March

Thanks all! No, no loctite included, but I've been reliably informed that all the nuts and bolts that rattle out get replaced FOC at the first service! I very much doubt it would wheelie, I'm sure it's possible, but not with me at the helm! Sirch, I must admit I'm quite glad it has a disk, I'm still...

and here it is in all it's glory
And, no, I wasn't down there to dump it in the river!

Thanks guys :thumbup: Kev, very impressed you made it past the 1 minute mark to be honest! Well, the day of reckoning is looming. Tomorrow morning is collection day. Forecast is for torrential rain. I have: 300 cans of WD-40 68 spare spark plugs 30 spare HT leads 6 spare chains Waterproof sandals An...
