  1. Cover your eyes and open them slowly this is shit everywhere, you know its shitty when your ridding buddy asks you to pull his boot out the mud because his leg is coming off
  2. Bet her fellas not too happy about that and wheres those pictures
  3. Ask Bruce to have a closer look at it for you he lives near there
  4. Not far away Bob that is just around the corner ahead the whole lane is like this all the way now ideal for the T7
  5. Just remembered rugged roads are selling them without the ridiculous postage https://ruggedroads.co.uk/epages/00cbb604-5d1c-407e-8207-580e14387ec5.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/00cbb604-5d1c-407e-8207-580e14387ec5/Products/250147
  6. Front sprocket shaft has a small amount of wear but not a lot. when i use up the sprockets i have on the shelf i will be looking to fit one of these i got one on my old Africa twin A bit pricey but easier than an engine rebuild. The XR has a lot more wear i'm in the process of doing some mods on that to see if i can prolong it https://www.kkbike.it/en/sprockets/172-147-15t-superpinion-honda-xr-650-l-8053830250147.html
  7. Performance wise It feels about the same as before but without the clattering, it is smoother through the gears, throttle feels more responsive and is not stumbling when ticking over. Its more likely to have decreased in value during my ownership, would be worth a lot more if it was a standard bike, The only increase in value is my personal attachment to it which has just gone up again LOL
  8. Thanks @Pedro The lake is one of a series of reservoirs that feed the valleys with drinking water i think i get my water from there, as for the dog i had the cylinder honed and a new set of rings even though it was all new 22000 miles ago, i was so close to it i would have regretted it if i didn't do it, the essential work was the 2 new cam chain guides and new cam chain all Honda parts. Total cost for parts was £358 about £100 of that was gaskets. Doing it myself saved me about 2 days of labour which would be about a £1000. if i had to pay someone to do it i would probably have parted out the bike as i only bought it for £800 about 12 years ago
  9. The dog was feeling a bit rough so after a few internal organ replacements it was ready to ride cover your eyes if your squeamish this is open heart surgery. The day started with the rebuild After a little work she lives A few hours later and i'm on the road but thinking i better not stray too far after the rebuild so up to my local byway . It was pointed out to me the shadow looks like a reindeer lol And then onto my mountain After a check for oil leaks it was onto check out a lane that was illegally closed but overturned by the TRF Then some of my favorite tarmac to sennybridge for fuel This is the end of the roman road out of Trecastle only took the photo because it doubled up as a piss stop Then onto the Crychan forest which has been graded and has made it easy enough to drive your car through now Then it was the ride home trying to keep it under 55. past the Llwyn Onn reservoir it was like a mirror these are photos of it up the right way and upside down you tell me which is which On the A470 i had to suffer the humiliation of a scooter rider burning me off because i was bedding things in the fucking wanker had the cheek to wave to me Bike ran beautifully restored my love for it again
