Looking good
The road down to Ambleside from kirkstone pass is called the struggle it's great when you get a clear run down weeling  and jumping the crests


Ah yes, I had forgotten it's name. But foc hacking down it wheelieing and jumping the crests!  :eek  You have to pull in for cars in some places, sheep all over, bumpy and steep, dry stone walls brushing your elbows...the list of hazards never ends!

Serviced the water pump on my KTM.
Someone sent me a postcard picture of the earth. On the back it said, "Wish you were here."

Sort of... It is in really good condition, but being an Italian bike i decided to check threads about common faults and found there are two connectors in the harness that are prone to overheating, so i found one and the plastic is burnt, so i will need to replace it. I haven't managed to get at the second connector yet as its inside the tailpiece. I checked the voltage across the battery in it was 13.7 at tick over and 13.3 at 4000rpm, so it was slightly low and the connectors that cause it are the ones i'm going to fix. I also took a look at the k&n air filter and it needed cleaning and reoiled. Replaced several bolts with stainless...
