    This morning I did the airbox 'flapper' mod.  So the airbox has a flap inside it which is vacuum controlled by a unit sat on top of the box , the unit has a hook on the end which pulls the flap up to let more air in when needed.  

    Here I have taken it out and blanked off the hose with a screw...............

    Then I put some double-sided tape under the flap and secured it so it is fully open all the time.................

    and that's it , job done.  The bike should breathe better now with the new silencer and servo motor removed.  The next job will be the removal of the AIS (air induction system).

    Will that affect cold weather starting?

    Which is nearly Scarborough 

    That’s the Monaco for the post brexit masses.

    Either of those is the preferable option, we are away on holiday next month, don't want the car breaking down on the way there, or back...

    Mablethorpe?

    I have seen an apparition......because as you know I've mentioned the Phantom Plane numerous times over the years. And there's many other reported sightings of that as well.

    But have you seen God as in a visible appearance?

    And I think we may need Wankstain's input here...... @Otto von Jizzmark come on down!

    Does Wankstain believe in ghosts? I guess these paranormal researchers are his colleagues, after all they call themselves scientists.

    Iam taking the car in to the garage on Thursday, they gonna stick a endoscope in the head, see if the bit is lodged somewhere, or if it has gone out of the port. 

    Running OK at the moment, no tinkling sound any longer. 👍 

    It could have spat it out or it might be fused to the top of the piston.

    Why not? You believe in God........and there appears to be more sightings of Ghosts than of God.

    There are eye witness accounts of Jesus and he exists in the historical record. 
     

    The only people who believe in ghosts are bellends, gingers and ginger bellends.

    I'm more worried about the ever present threat of frostbite right now.

    What about the government trying to kill the entire population?

    My day yesterday started at 1am with my daughter on the phone panicking as her car had broken down, when i got there she was on a steep hill with her foot on the brake stopping it from rolling into the parked car behind her she said it was rolling back with he handbrake on, it was just raising the suspension when she released the brake so it wasn't rolling back she was stressing over nothing. I got in and the gear lever is doing nothing but it was stuck in gear and i was able to pull it away from the parked car with a bit of burning clutch and park it out the way, it was gone 2am after i sorted that out, i couldn't get back to sleep until an hour before i was due to get up to go out on the bike. Met Gary the sun was shining and it was a comfortable temperature. We had a good day riding some tough lanes until around 3pm when the heavens opened at the furthest point from home i got soaked in minutes got home around 19:30 aching like hell and the knee supports i wore for the fist time rubbed the backs of my knees raw so they wont be used again, it did dry up on the way home where i took the only photo of the day. After a shower and some grub I went out and brought the daughters car home.

    Gear selector cables? Is it a Fiat?
