The plan is to kick that DR into life (wouldn’t start today ) or bump start the thing and get it to my mates place where we can give it a bit of a going over to make sure it’s at least ‘safe’ to ride Wouldn't start?

I’ll try draining some fuel out of the carb as @Sir Fallsalot suggested if it stops raining long enough. To be fair, it’s not been run properly for about a year or more so I’m surprised I’ve managed to start the fucker at all! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been started from cold a couple of times since then and normally starts on about third or fourth kick. Not yesterday though I’m going to drain the carb this morning and see if that helps. A bump start is on the cards. I think the poor thing has been stood doing Jack shit for about a year and could just do with a clean, change of fuel, and new consumables. That should help. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Rode the bikes down to Southampton yesterday. As usual we got away late and only stopped for fuel and food so sorry for the lack of pics. Bikes are parked in a multi-storey with both wheels chained to each other and both with disc locks, can’t help but be worried about them going missing or some thieving basted trying. Currently on the red jet heading for Cowes on the isle or white to see daughter. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Warning moany offloading rant ahead. Right thats it I want a fucking restart on this weekend. What a load of crap. I have two girlfriends Im closer to than just ordinary mate status. One messaged yesterday cos she’s in pieces cos her stupid fucking eating habits (ie starving herself all the time and living on dry lettuce leaves) have transferred to her daughter (my god daughter) who has now been diagnosed with anorexia. Shes so low in weight she’s having to be forced to eat to a draconian time table. That made me pretty angry cos I warned her more than once what would happen and to be careful not to let her girls see or pick up on all her stupid shit. Being angry with someone and feeling sorry for them at the same time is very annoying. And the other friend subtly kept on about her girls really wanting to come to Spain. I wasnt keen theres not a lot of room for 6 people and one of her daughters is a tantruming nightmare. I find that pretty difficult because I dont put up with any of that shit but her mum just lets her have her own way, if she does say no the daughter ramps up the tantrum to stellar proportions until her mum says yes But as they are also my god daughters and I know how much they want a little holiday I relented and said well a week would be too long but a long weekend might be ok. She has just txt me her flight booking… 6 days. SIX DAYS! Im going to have to get some duct tape for my mouth.. or maybe it would be better used on her daughter 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently on the red jet heading for Cowes on the isle or white to see daughter. Reckon in a multi-storey is an ok place for them. Multistories have security barriers, lighting and CCTV. Bike thieves are different from car thieves. If I was a bike thief I wouldnt bother going into a multi-storey car park looking for bikes cos theres rarely ever any bikes in a multi-storey. Being the cheapskates we are bikes tend to be left where the parking is free. Southampton multi-storey isnt ranked badly either. In a list of 200 multi-stories (with number 1 being the worse ranking) its placed 120th https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-8526453/The-busy-UK-car-parks-worst-crime-rates-revealed.html Link doesnt seem to be working if you really want to see it then copy and paste this into your search engine - thisismoney.co.uk article-8526453 You can guess where Bristol comes in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
