The A686 runs SW from Haydon Bridge down through Alston then over the famous Hartside pass. Only a brief stop here the look at the view over Cumbria because the run down to Melmerby is something special and the cafe/bakery at Melmerby is tops. One option then is to run North on B roads to Brampton a...

Kermit has routes in mind, he is local.

As for how many storms….. they get less and less each year….. if I am in my camper van, I will have my storm, but if I decide to ride there from home it will be on the KTM

But if I can’t work it out, it niggles at my mind that it could happen again because I ...

Chris, based on the leak pattern, I think the oil is leaking from the breather pipe elbow that comes out of the rear cam cover and up to the airbox, so have ordered 2 new orings. Obviously I won’t know if I am right till it’s all back together, so I will be gutted if it’s not fixed…….wont be happy t...

I will PayPal tomorrow, thanks for organising

Meanwhile in my garage I took theRD 400 drag bike off the ramp and maxed the big KTM on. There has been an oil leak from the back rocker cover that leaks onto the rear exhaust header pipe, so as that needed investigation, so I may as well change the 4 spark plugs and check the valve clearances while...

Is that a new bottom yoke by any chance?

Is it a bike dryer.?
