Yes, you guys can stop laughing now. I've increased my powers - not only do I have a leaky shower, I also have done the Pan in by the looks of it. Ever since we came back from Belgium there's been a rattle from the engine and further investigation today revealed rather more oil in the airbox than usual, and one oily plug. Oh, and it doesn't want to idle that well either and it started using oil (which it's never done before). Diagnosis suggests that something's slighlty less than healthy on cylinder no 1... Anyway, any ideas how much a '99 Pan, 81k on the clock, with the problems above would fetch? Anybody interested? Oh, and I'd guess I need another sporty/toury thing. Not sure if I want another Pan, I was looking at a VFR 750 but the seating position is a bit too sporty for this old man's knees. Other current ideas are probably another BMW... Unless someone here has a decent Yamaha GTS with luggage for sale...
