Water in front cylinder so run on one pot for a while. Weather was so bad down here I decided to limp her home. Took 1.5 hours to do 35 miles and broke down a further twice on M11 and M25 and a good 10 times on A12. Thought I had killed her proper after stalling and not starting again for 20 minutes.

sh1t, thats worse than my overheating drama. one weekend its the water that should be inside the engine trying to get out, next weekend its the water that should stay outside the engine trying to get in!!!!

was it just filling the front plug cap, or was it worse?

Just filling the front plug I think,will investigate the plugs this weekend make sure there has been no damage. Think I buffered the baffle material in one can cause its alot louder than before.

Hi All, Nice to meet some of you(the first group I think) at Devil's Bridge today, I couldn't do the whole weekend trip because of achilles tendon problems..."bloody painful" and i'm paying for it now, but what a day for being out on the bike so it was well worth it. Hope you have a good night tonight and a safe trip home ......Cheers :thumbup: ChrisC

Ended up taking a slightly scenic route back after after missing the M18 :o

What a cracking day. Nice one Phil for arranging it. You have some great roads up there. Really enjoyed it thanks. :thumbup:

I have a fair bit of footage to go through but won't be able to until I get back in a week.
