    I think the bike was running hot through some Hills, and maybe the breather in the crankcase wasn't sufficiently big enough to allow pressure to balance/vent.
    Anyway all good since, now done 300 odd klms and no issues.

    I actually don't know how many there are but I am a deerstalker so have an interest. These were about 1/2 mile down from the Spittal of Glenshee ski lift. The time was around 18.30 which is around the prime time for deer collisions so i consciously decided to back it right off.
    Sure enough about 2 mile further on, on what would normally have been a slightly blind fast right hander, there was literally another 30 or so, stood on the tarmac or thereabouts, just crossing the road. My arrival surprised them and so running they presented an endless line left to right. To then make matters worse the alpha male did a u turn deciding my left verge was safer. Naturally the whole chain u turned o_O

    Think about it; instantly presented with this scenario where's your escape route now?

    Ride safe guys.

    Good contrast on the photo - what camera/ phone do you use?

    With that lid and goggles, I do think you should be called Biggles... ;):grinning:

    Is that Newlands Corner?

    Now in the NT , Katherine tomorrow. Watched Fresh Water Crocodiles being fed. They are strange looking creatures. Also so bats in the trees by the Victoria river. IMG_20190604_163431.jpg
    Brenda took photos of the Crocs being fed , I did HD video, so can't post them :relieved: whish I could. No problems with the bike, I bought a seal from Kununurra Honda ! Seal was for a 5 HP Honda auxiliary power motor :rolleyes::relieved: cost $6, I'll keep it just incase :):) might still need it. Just won't replace it unless I have access to better facilities ...!

    Yeah @dilligaf there's plenty of it around these parts o_O. The population is sparser , population for Timber Creek is 300 :neutral: fresh water Crocs about 20 just behind the Hotel, for about 200 metres of river.

    Cheers capt
