Hopefully be back on it in early spring.

Bugger!! Didn't realise it had done so much damage!

Aye it's only about half an inch but I dont know if there's any dirt or dirty casing in the sump. Bottom casing and I know a very good Ali welder, so it's really just a time problem. I stopped the engine straight away so I'm sure that's OK.

What a pain in the arris though!

I've just been chatting to Mrs LOM and she said mid sentence "it was my fault". Thirty Three years and I've never heard that one. Still no doubt it will change.

yep, going to take me a while. The bloke who owns the welders next to my workspace is a wonderfull ali welder and has done a few jobs for me. So "just" need to get it into bits.

"it was my fault"

Isn't that written into a bloke's wedding vows ?

btw: Good Morning All

Morning all.

Decided today was a good day to take Hugh for a (probably) final blast before the salt starts to appear down here. Was heading for a bike shop caff when I remember I was meant to be staying in for a parcel delivery. Ooops. Ended up as a nice circuit of 30 miles instead of the planned 80 but hey ho. No card through the door so I got away with it. Yay!!

Brimmed the tank ready for layover just before I got home and went to add some ProFST as a stabiliser when I was shocked to see fuel almost over the top of the filler neck... It must be very cold in the underground tank at the filling station and of course it had warmed up a lot sitting over my warm engine and it expanded. More than I thought it would! Good job I filled up on the side stand and I use the centre stand in the garage. Should be fine once it cools down.
