French Run ferry details

These have now been circulated to those taking the Dover ferry.

 

When is it? etc.

 

Am I booked into this weekend?

 

My filed folder claims I sent my reg no. on 12 March. Just resent so
hopefully you have just got it now.

Where are we going?

 

I think it's Spain. I hope it's Spain.

 

<reeky>

Nah, it'll be somewhere in Europe.

It'll rain on the way home

Oh, I hope not. You need a passport for Spain, don't you?

 

Yes but I think the petrol stations are usually open on Sundays there.

 

Am i going?

 

You're on the other boat.

 

Can I change my bike details?

You're taking the Ural?

 

Wearing comfortable shoes?

 

And speed limits don't apply on weekends.

 

Someone will break down before the ferry
Someone may not make it off the ferry
Someones luggage will end up on the M20 or in a Fireball.
Someone will be a petrol muppet
Someone will get lost (usually me)

Paul.

 

Might be. Do you think that'll be OK on the ferry?

Anyway - I may have got to the bottom of the bizarre running problems -
it appears to have been in the process of destroying a throttle cable.
Those things don't just die overnight, right? Anyway, the RH one
finally pulled out of the twistgrip linkage and in the process of the
PM, it turned out to have a stray strand, which had been sticking into
the liner of the outer, causing an intermittent jam.

So, If I'm giving it WFO, but only the left carb is actually WFO and
the right carb is just off tickover then strange things are going to
happen. It obviously isn't going to pull properly and perhaps the
occasional surging may be explained too. Then there was the backiring
and ultimately the furnace in the silencer.

It was also fitted with two equal length cables, whereas the right one
should have been shorter - being too long, it will have been bent
around more than intended, which has probably caused the premature
wear. So a new throttle linkage is on order, with a cable kit: nobody
has cables available as made up units, so it's a length of outer, a
length of inner, a bunch of ferrules and solder your own nipples.

The nipple soldering might be a challenge, as the cable is 1.7mm and
the OD of the nipple only 3.0mm. Not much room for Mr Blobby.

Oh yeah, we'll just form up in a group around you and smuggle you on.
What could possible go wrong?

Hmmm... If any modifications are required, give me a shout.
