    Re oil, could just be leaking from oil filter, see if you can tighten it a bit by hand, don't force it though.

    Internet been down so no been on hear for over a week and so much seemed to happen Lol
    My last trip was planned to go and see my wife who was camping at west wittering,bit damp on the roads
    But went any way stopped just before petworth for some petrol and went to start her up and nothing battery had gone flat ,ask a couple of car drivers if they had jump leads but just didn't seem they wanted to help so rung my breakdown helpline yep they would send someone out while waiting a bmw biker turned up after filling his bike up he came over well what a decent guy turned out he lived only a few miles away he went home got his car and we managed to jump my bike off his car so who ever you where a massive
    Thank you I managed to carry on with my ride although I didn't stop to see the wife as I couldn't chance the bike not starting again had another great ride out despite the issues roads were a bit damp in places but seems to keep the roads clear of all the fair weather guys

    been away for a week, Oh I missed my Thruxton, took her out this afternoon for a quick spin, was going to ride to Guildford and back but forgot the "back" bit and ended up in Littlehampton, Tried to get an icecream but could not find a Mr Whippy anywhere so had a tea at whiteways, What a lovely ride beautiful weather and the roads surprisingly empty, OOps 3 and a half hours later I got home!!

    Hi guys, found this stuff plasti dip, from the US.

    Thought I'd give it q go today so covered the bike in a matt black on the tank and a gold copper type in the rest.

    Its like a wrap without the hassle of heating it, just spray it on.

    Rushed it at the end so a few frayed edges but I don't mind.

    Tell me what you think!

    No, just clean with fairy to get rid of any wax,dry and spray on. I used rattle cans but it would come out way better with a spray gun. Think I'll leave it on a few months then peel it off.

    No you don't just thoroughly clean the surface then spray multiple light coats to build up the thickness.

    Do a search on You-tube for Delboys garage -

    I just watched this very video a couple of days ago! Best thing is, you don't have to register the colour change with DVLA, as it is technically a cover, therefor not permanent.
    Looks fantastic too.

    Tigcraft and his mate stopped over with us last night so we had "a bit of a do". This morning in the pissing rain I took them out onto the main road for heading back to Calais and then home.

    Me I got back to my place and realised that none of my gear is waterproof - Hurrah :mad::mad:

    Riding in the rain, what IS that all about ?????

    That's was nice to get a visit. And I'm with you on the wet stuff. Has a tendency to get my bones to stiffen now days. I'm only 53 o sound like an old lad :p

    I'm definitely not going out in the rain if I can help it, too many bits to polish and keep clean:)
