Google mojo lost: Chimay

Anybody know when the Chimay weekend is this year? Looking at last years
dates it was mid July. Planning ahead this year to try and make sure I
can go.....

 

20-22 July.

 

Seems to be 20th - 22nd this year:

Thx both

 

hmmm... School term finishes 20th, but they might have an incest day.

Austin Shackles. www.ddol-las.net my opinions are just that
"The breezy call of incense-breathing Morn, The swallow twittering
from the strawbuilt shed, The cock's shrill clarion, or the echoing
horn, No more shall rouse them from their lowly bed."
Thomas Gray, Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard.

 

That's a bit late...

Still, I'll have had my fun at the beginning of the month - getting
pissed in Bavaria.

If everything drops into place, that is...

 

Yeah, but, come the day, you'll announce that you can't afford the petrol or
something.

 

Buggrit. Not going to be able to make it this year. Looks like I'll
have to drag myself over to Schleiz instead -

June suits me better than July, too.

550 miles from Calais - maybe I'll leave the CBX at home for this one.

Would it be unreasonable to want to do both?

 

For you - not at all.

 

On the Z200?

 

Z200 to Schleiz, outfit to Chimay.

 

Chimay is the start of summer school hols, I've just realised, so I may
be away as well.

However, this sounds good for early September:

I've got to do a top-end rebuild on the bike first. Or should that be
"side-end" on a boxer?

it's burning too much oil these days. suspect either rings or valve guides
or possibly both.

now, if someone had a nice set of 750cc barrels, pistons and heads for a
mid-70s boxer I could be tempted

but in practice, I'll probably rebuild it as is.

 

Top-end on a boxer is easier than rear wheel on a Wing.

Does it smoke from the left after it's been on the sidestand?

I've got a set of rings in the shed, but they're for an 800.

Dismantle, brush out cobwebs and mouse droppings, wipe over with rag and
reassemble. Job done.

 

That's the way my thoughts are running. I'll need something sensible for
Chimay to transport the sprog, but Schleiz is in term time, so I'm free to
use anything I feel like.

 

hehe. yeah, it is easy. nice warm day and a comfy cushion to sit on...

no, mostly from the right pot, and after being on over-run. I did change
rings some time ago but it might need doing again, also the heads are known
to be iffy. If I can afford it I'll get a rebuilt pair of heads.

hehe.

 

Rule of thumb: smoking under power is rings, on the overrun is valves.

 

Hooray, it doesn't clash with Tolpuddle this year!
