I have the clear one on my Donkey (DR650), it's ace. When we were riding in Spain I came out of paying for fuel and my tank had gone blue !! Who knew that Repsol colour their petrol blue ?

for some reason we seem to like having 3 dogs around and we had to say goodbye to our little jack Russel on boxing day. Jan has been looking around at basset hounds as she used to have one in the UK, and then fried day she was scanning the FB marketplace and found her other favorite dog, standard poodles. So we totally broke social distancing rules, drove to Traverse City and brought home Gus. 7 weeks old and now the trouble starts!

That's not a Welsh accent, that's a Jack. If he walked into a shop in Machynlleth talking like that they'd probably throw him out ?

Problem is this is a 6 gallon tank, for the last year or so me mum was sick and its been a full time gig taking care of her. She's only 88 and claims thats not old ffs...61 feels freaking old butt, man years are 3.7 women years...imho. So to keep the tank from rusting i keep it full...i rode 28 miles last summer....i need a plastic gas tank so i dont a freaking crap about rust. You;re Eka! My KLR needs this!!!!! Cool! https://procycle.us/product/841-gas-tank-ims-66-gallon I want the clear one!!!! I love buying farcles!!!!!!!!!!!

Stupid question but does the fuel shut off cock have a filter in it? I’m sure you’ll have checked it.

I remembered you sounding different, sounds like you're the voice over on a wildlife tv show. My brit friends used to tell me I sound like Borat speaking english.

I knocked this together from bits on FB, a diary which gives up after a couple of days, and photos. I realise now that there was a lot of video as well on the FB pages. I shall have to do some editing before the next post. 31st Aug 2017 Said goodbye to my daughter and family near Guildford and hit the motorway down to Dover. Caught a ferry across and then rode towards Antwerp and then Arnhem. Didn’t get quite as far as that and stayed at a campsite not far from Nijmegen owned by a biker as it happened. Friday 1st Sept. Got up to a misty morning, a wet tent and a lovely atmosphere with geese setting off to feed. Ideal time for a shower at 0700 as I was the only one about. Following my mate Titus’s advise I packed up and set off without breakfast, not even a brew. The plan was to do a hundred miles before breakfast; I managed a hundred and twenty before stopping at a rest area and having some watery/milky porridge and a coffee. Then it was over into Germany, surviving the gridlock around Hamburg after endless miles of filtering, and making it up into Denmark where I stopped for a coffee and a roll. It was then about a hundred miles or so to a campsite not far from Copenhagen. Not many photos as motorways look the same wherever they are, boring. Useful for the commute though. There was a so called rock happening there in the town. I walked over to the village square but was horrified by the density of the crowds. Little kids there as well looking frightened. I took a few snaps of the streets but kept the phone in my pocket zipped up in the crowds. Tomorrow morning it’ll be over the bridge to Sweden.

Classic ? ? ?

This might help.

Id get a new carb butt the prices are insane! Going to take the carb out one more time, im actually getting good at that part....lol

Yes. I realise what you mean. My memory isn’t what it used to be. I’ve forgotten what little video editing knowledge I had. It could be still captures.

Can we post long, very long stories of trips and funny or special moments? Can be in episodes, so not tire you to much.

My mum is here ?.................... who knew .

Like I said Tym, find someone with an ultrasonic cleaner. If you had shit in the main jet it's likely to be in other places that you can't see, it's the only way to clean a carb properly ?

Well, got her started, she runs like chit butt she runs...going to take it all apart again and start over.

Now hold on a minute.

Bonjour fellow nutters for France

Looks as if it's an old friend of mine (Dago) Alan Jones, havn't seen him for years, and with what is happening at this time we won't be able to say good bye to him properly. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-52433831
