Yes, you wear the surprised expression of someone who does not get out enough.

I've ventured North oft enough. That pic was taken when i had to pay to go over the Skye bridge, you robbing bastards you.
Hence I know they are indisputiably Foreignlands.

Quick blast check if was ok couldn't find any milk but I did find the repainted petrol tank, the inner fuel trim paint had bubbled. Fortunately I was lucky enough to be able to peel it without it falling in the tank; however, one or two tiny fragments might have dropped in.
Do you think that will dissolve in the petrol, or it might affect the fuel pump?

I would have thought it will just get trapped in the fuel filter, and not enter the pump

Bike looks well smart BB3. Was it all covered in salt dust after? Mine was.

Great roads @Sarky B’stard I used to do those and up around the Beef Tub, or the Selkirk road from Moffat and stop at St Marys Loch at the old wooden cafe that was there, don't know if it's still goingWell bright blue skies proved too much temptation but nothing challenges me like a Road Closed sign.
Whatever, it wasn’t. Edinburgh’s reservoirs are over brimming and the snow is left in the high corries and sheltered Northern slopes. I ended up doing my Moffat loop but the sun was deceptive. It’s still February

No mate, we've had enough rain to ensure the salts gone, but, I did stay local. Tomorrow might be different.

Still there and still looking like it’s in danger of imminent collapse. Three bikes outside its Covid locked doors this a.m. Otherwise pretty quiet but plenty of water coming over the Grey Mare’s Tail.

Looks like there were a lot of car drivers that got the milk before you arrived!

Ill try again tomorrow and maybe the new suit to test
One thing, left hand finger cramps... Might have to adjust the clutch angle a little lower.

Been doing too fucking much!
Done all the planned jobs, so just an oil and filter change to finish, but...
After putting sump plug back in and leaving it overnight before refilling as filter hadn't arrived, I notice a little drip of oil.
Turns out there is a crack from the sump plug. Upon removal and properly getting under it with my camera, notice chip of metal missing form where plug goes.
Now either I over-tightened it, which while possible seems unlikely as I used a torque wrench, or it was damaged before and being undone and redone caused the crack to grow.
So that's radiator off, oil cooler off, exhaust off and then sump off!
Now I got the bike as a project, but I wish this had happened a few months ago, not when I'd got all excited at the thought of a proper test run
At least the garage is now warm!

Can your handy neighbour weld it? Or does the crack encroach on the threads?Been doing too fucking much!

That's a right sod @Doc Strange I hate removing and fitting drain plugs that's one reason why I fitted these drain valves on all my bikes for years, fit once and no mess
