Luckily the waterproofs worked elsewhere!

It was a little damp. Got through my gloves too. And my left boot, though my right was fine though...

Winder I forgot the bung. I can get it at lunch or you can pick it up from my house (2 mins from work)

Winder · 18-03-13, 10:36 AM

I wasn't best pleased that my HG summit gortex gloves were completely soaked through. I may as well of had my thin summer gloves on. My feet were frozen solid but the gortex socks seemed to keep them dry.
At least the summer p*ssing rain will be a bit warmer than this spring p*ssing rain

Winder, You have your heated grips on?

20-03-13, 06:45 PM

i rember you saying about the reverse effect with grips, but ive never found that with my alpinestars with the drystar tech..

Winder · 20-03-13, 07:10 PM

Yeah I had them on. So the options are dry but frozen or warm and soaking wet (WEY HEY), great.
About my crash bung. I can get it from the shop tomorrow mate. Think I got the wrong crash bungs as the right hand fitting plate (bit the bung screws into) needs a spacer on its upper bolt or it will sit skew wiff and foul on the frame. In my normal fashion I bodged it on there so I'm now finally ready to add the missing piece.

Tomor · 20-03-13, 07:15 PM

haha you bodger! yeh no worries, its sitting at work ready for collection anytime. Your bung screw directly into the engine mount, or on a bracket that bolts to two mounts on the engine? I have a feeling they have sent the wrong bung.

The crash bung i need screws onto a bracket which is held in place by two engine mount bolts. Should be the "hollow" one with an M10 bolt with a 17mm head going straight through the centre of the bung
