Yesterday's 'FOT (Long)

And like I said, shit happens. I bear no grudge whatsoever to the
others on the run not double backing for me, after all I had quite a
pleasant afternoon.

 

A thousand miles or so, yes. You could have burned a piston from slipped
ignition timing but that's very unlikely.

Odd, though. I put 6-7k miles on it with no probs at all.

 

Yebbut, I was there to confuse them. By all rights I *should* have
been the tail end of the group, so when I wasn't, the natural order of
the world had already broken down, hence the subsequent breakdown in
values, the dog-eat-dog [1] attitudes, etc etc.

[1] well, the "Nosher had better eat somthing soon" attitude, anyway.

Any probs with me nipping over perhaps Pip?
Wouldn't mind having a peek at the realities of a motorbike engine vs
scooter etc?

Not coming over now im afraid, was looking forward to it too.
SO has really fucked me off and for some reason im in a right fucking mood
so doubt i would be much company and would probably kill myself trying to
get there :-/

 

Well initial diagnosis reveals a bent inlet valve. The locknut had
worked itself loose causing the valve spring to break free. I'll
hopefully have a better idea tomorrow as to total damage when the
head is whipped off.

 

There's no downside ...

You git...and i was going to bring beer.

 

Part II this evening, as long as the light lasts and the rain holds
off.

 

LOL, it's the beer that swung it right?
