So what have you done today..?

Well, thats the theory....burning oil...must be the rings...i dont think theres much else it can be as the engine is so simple...

 

That is one humungous garage door

 

Having a session of physio on my shoulder at 8.30

 

Torture but good for you in the long run. Hope it all goes well Andy

 

Good luck.

 

Not today, but last night, don’t usually get a mid week blat but rushed home from work to meet friends at Sherburn - expected it to be rammed but it wasn’t too bad for a Wednesday...

 

Could it be valve guides?

 

Could be....but, as i say - a blanket fix....weve got a whole top end from the original engine to put on....we're going to get it powder coated first...

 

Coffee and meatball marinara ciabatta for breakfast in Nero's whilst the garage does a routine annual oil service. It's a lovely day in Newbury Andy

 

Well they were very impressed with the range of movement in my shoulder, just got to do a bit of gym work to strengthen the shoulder up a bit but that’s it, no more physio needed !!

 

This morning,,,,



get it out of the way so that i get a ticket to ride later today

 

You do know, as a member of the public, taking a photograph in the ballot room is an offence, don't you ? Andy

 

I do now

 

I felt so sorry for that wazz Jamie Oliver, that I've sent him some advice

Hi, Jamie Oliver,

Sorry to hear your restaurants are going through a tough patch- have you considered contacting Gordon Ramsay?

He does this show where he goes into failing restaurants and helps turn them around.

Just a thought,

Best wishes 'n all that....

 

Largely due to my ham fistedness and Ducati disc bolts being made of cheese, I ended up fitting a new rear axle and disc to the Multistrada instead of just a new rear disc. Looks and feels very much like I'm going to be fitting a new eccentric when we get back from Italy. Wheel side pair of bearings feel like they are full of rocks and with about 3500 miles touring Europe and a track day on the Multistrada planned later this year, it's probably prudent. On the plus side, I am now well practiced in the complexities of stripping the rear drive assembly so it shouldn't take me all day. Andy

 

If the Daviel was faster,you could both leave at the same time and it wouldn't need a head start

Day off, up early to go to the Belfry for a mates 50th & a round on the PGA National. Sun’s out, club’s are clean & can almost smell the bacon bap & coffee that signals the traditional birthday round start
