My something today started by fiddling with the XR's carb trying to get rid of a dead spot off idle i haven't noticed before, only thing different is i fitted the snorkel back on the air box and fitted a Vortip in the exhaust. Played about for an hour or so and i have decided to start with the stock jetting and go from there so ordered the stock pilot jet. Then i fired up the Beta to make sure everything is ok for a ride tomorrow which it was, so then i dragged the CRF1000 out to give it a run and a wash, the bloody thing was still covered in the flies from a rally i done around this time last year. Since i had dug that deep into the garage it exposed the old Africa Twin so just spent an hour riding that about it's such a nice bike to ride i seem to appreciate it more now my need for speed has almost gone.

My work shouldn't make too much mess, i dread to think what mess National grid is going to make when they dig the trench for the new cable, its going to be over 300m long straight through the whole garden

Had an interesting site visit today to a large house north of Ross on Wye. Just an old lady living in there now her husband passed away a few years ago. I will be digging her lawn up to lay a concrete slab for a new kiosk to sit on and digging a trench from the slab to the manhole for a duct. There were deer roaming around when i was there lovely place enough garden to keep Clive busy for the rest of his life

Cant fault the dash cams when they work in your favour, my daughter had a real easy claim after someone pulled out of a junction into the side of her car and then tried to blame her for it. Just remember to hide them if you've been a cock

I have found the reason i ride the bike has changed over the years, for most of my biking life i didn't need a reason or a destination to ride i would just go and see where the front wheel took me, now with the road bike i seem to have to have a destination to get it out other wise i don't bother. I still go out just to ride with the trail bikes as i still feel like i want to go out on them hope that don't change.

Getting my bike back on the road again.
Sir Fallsalot replied to zzzak's topic in MOTORCYCLE WORKSHOP
The damage on the radiator looks like the cooling fins have been flattened easy to straighten with a small flat blade screwdriver a right pain in the arse to do but worth doing in your climate as it helps the cooling. Keep the jet wash away from the fins they flatten easy don't ask how i know. -

Just disconnect the battery when your not using the scoot. I was going to say take it off and keep it in the house where it's warm but thought better of it
