Bikers' Banter

What???!!!!

That's not quite what I was expecting to hear.

However, I did appreciate your clear and concise report. Masterful in its brevity. Well done.

What's the next project?

It's crap..... Took it for a 5 mile ride and it started off OK but soon after, it died whilst on a straight at @65mph.... I pulled the clutch in feering a seisure and then it ran again so I turned around to head home but there was Smoke coming off the engine so I pulled over and let it cool down...... there was oil on various parts of the engine but no obvious crack or leak ..... rode home rather slowly and started hearing strange noises...... got it home and it sounded like a ducati's dry clutch............. Phoned JHS and will be taking it back next week................. As for the next Project ? ..... reckon It'll not be Bike related !

Jeez
That's not good

Nope, not good at all and I forgot to mention the thick smoke from the exhaust..........

Bloody hell what an anti climax.
Even if they "put it right" you will have no confidence in it me thinks.

Get a narrow Boat 4 mph max.

I'd love a Narrow Boat Bob..... often looked at them but I can't Swim !!! so probably better not get one........ Yes, it's a real bummer, I won't trust it even if it gets fixed..... can't sell it either as I'd hate to lose all that dosh so It'll probably get parked in the Shed.......... You got your MH Yet ( dare I ask !!!! )

Most of the canals are only 3 foot deep, full of shit you seeso walk to the bank

YES, got the MH bout 2 weeks ago. Been on one trip thus far to jot what's wanted.
AND the engine has done 245 miles and not blown up once yet

All in all we love it, although the build quality is not Bentley standard, but then again it wasn't Bentley money.
Bailey Autograph 79-4T with Portabello upgrade.

That's great to hear Bob..... I hope you get a lot of use out of it

What's a portobello upgrade?

I have visions of a regulated, temperature controlled fancy fungi storage facility somewhere inside the fridge.
