Gonna have to give this one a miss guys... :cry:

Can't decide if I'm gonna be riding Leroys bike enough to warrant adding it to my insurance policy, it's an extra £110, and I don't wanna be paying that out just for a rideout today... :roll:

Don't really wanna risk my bike on a run yet until I've plodded around on it for a bit to make sure it's not bent etc... :shock:

Have a good one... 8)

Unfuckinbelievable... I decided I would leave Leroys bike ticking over to charge it up whilst I walked the dog...

Came back and left it running while I washed it (shock, horror, me washing a bike) thought to myself it will be getting a bit hot now so best turn it off, when...

BANG Steam everywhere... testicles

Luckily, it was only a radiator hose that had let go, cut a piece off, shorter now... fixed... 8)

Really Great Ride especially from Hatherleigh to Torrington where Jay decided to have 4 double burgers (AGAIN) and so did his matey, I only had one this time :lol: :lol:

Was also a good ride from Torrington to My Pad.

Was brilliant to catch up with the guys and will hopefully do it again soon.

PS: Ash hope you managed to stay awake until ya got home matey, you looked knackkered.

Good... now don't be shy in coming over to get Leroys running too... :wink: :lol:

This is what happened...

I decided as I had missed the rideout I would take his bike for a spin.

It started fine and I drove to the gate, reaching to open the gate more I stalled, and the damned thing wouldn't start again.

On opening the fuel cap I found that where I'd just washed it there was a load of water inside the cap, and I could see water in the fuel.

Anyhow, I jumped it from my car for ages with no luck, it's spinning over but not firing... and it was running fine before ? :evil:

Drain the carbs and flush the tank, clean plugs and crank the engine with them out to push any water out the cylinder :wink:
