Pedro Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Thought a van was parking against the house in the middle of the night, then thought I might be drunk as I felt the bed moving, turns out it was an heartquake at 5 AM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 That time of year again. still not sure I’ll be putting them on as the current tires have got a lot of meat on them. I don’t think they have 6000km of life left, though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Well after a quick stop at Tesco in Mablethorpe (I shit you not), I checked the weather forecast and whatever I did I was likely to end up riding home in the rain so I headed up and across the Humber bridge and did a sprint up the A19 and I am now home in Edinburgh. I did 355 miles today, in total since Thursday afternoon I have done 980 miles and I didn't use the bike at all on Saturday. A few pictures from the trip. Pink BMW for @Six30 because he is a puff. Yellow BMW for @Marcel le Moose Fondler because he is too chicken to race @busabeast Water tower and zombie research centre. Wildlife. AJS, the real thing, tax ran out 18 years ago, it was in use and obviously well maintained. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Turns out I left my bike at the shop. The clutch "rattle" with clutch disengaged at neutral has been getting louder, my dude says it's probably clutch bearing or clutch cylinder / lever bearing or whatever, both are ordered and are probably here between wednesday and thursday. However, there is a chance that the rattle comes from the gearbox bearings, in which case we will know about it on thursday/friday after replacing the current ordered parts. If it's the gearbox it'll be a proper job to get that out and replaced, it'll take a while and will definitely not be ok for Italy next week, which means an alternative vehicle for the trip. I'm hoping for the better, as there is no other bike I'd like to take more than my own. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like there may be a leak on the exhaust system, or it might settle down as the engine management system adjusts to the cans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
