Got as far as fitting the o2 eliminator.




Looked at fitting my smaller flies but im not sure how to revolve them so that i can get hold each one & pull it out....i had planned on using my magnet wand on them until i realised that they arent magnetic......i can just see them falling inside & being a drama.


Next to them is the connecting rod....if i push down on the arm they move slightly but i cant get them to revolve....is this an issue, are they maybe stuck or is it because they only move at certain revs or something maybe?

Checked out most of the next LOFO ride.
Some pics.

Malvern Hills from Cleeve Hill:



Had a coffee stop in Cirencester, and had a look round the St. John The Baptist church. Built largely on wool money, it's a magnificent and interesting building:





I'm not a religious man myself, but one thing religion has given this world is some stunning architecture:







And a fascinating glimpse of history from a time when the inside of our churches looked very different. Some original uncovered fragments of the wall decorations; this place must have been truly awe inspiring once upon a time:





I'm told there's a small church near Hailes Abbey, which I passed today, that has even more stunning original wall art, so I think I'll be headed there to take a look at that soon.

A great ride around the Cotswolds, some of which I have done before, and some of which was new to me. Thoroughly enjoyable  :)

Wales again; Snowdonia this time. On the way up, spotted this Laverda RGS1000 at a service station. I didn't like them when they first hit the streets, but I think I've changed my mind:



Main destination today was Caernarfon castle:



And along the way, visited a few of my favourite spots:













Classic view of Tryfan; last time I tried to get this shot, I dropped the bike in a field entrance  :o  :



Always end up here; only camera van seen today was just exiting Bala, before getting here:



493 miles covered  :eek  That I reckon is my absolute limit in one day.

Well, the Midden came round mine this afternoon and we had an awesome run down to Rye, no traffic but Clipped a rabbit on the way down, killed it outright but it didn't go to waste. :D
 
Met a real character down at Rye who talked non stop for over an hour and was an expert at everything. :rolleyes
He set up Middens suspension and showed me how to hang off the bike properly and get my knee down.
I've got to say, it was one of the most entertaining days I've ever had and me and Midden was crying with laughter
In all fairness, the man was very knowledgeable and we wasn't being ungrateful but, he just left himself open to the infamous Foccer pisstake.
I think he knew we was taking the piss but he took it very well........Well it's only fair isn't it.
 
We managed to escape for cod and chips and the man moved on to his next victim (who had short back and sides when we left them :lol
 
Had an equally good ride on the way home, avoiding all the traffic  and making the most of the twisties.
 
Got back to mine, cracked open a cider and Midden prepared our roadkill for the pot.
 
A good day. :)

Looks like that tyre's pretty much had it anyway.

Parked on a red line - you naughty boy  :rolleyes

Dya reckon, I thought tyre was ok for a few k miles still.  Red line? Look at me the rebel ;)
Thanks for the pun/s  I was too 'tired' ;) to think this morning.   
Plugger was really quick and easy  I lost 15 psi in all which could have been reduced had I ignored instruction to put needle in hole first without the plug thread.
 I reckon the job would still be  good putting thread straight in and would've cost just a few psi.
Experienced feedback welcome on this

Been teaching our young lodger how to ride and took him out for the first time today (he was riding my son's ex-Rieju RS 50 which he sold to him). We kept to quiet lanes and the Fazer picked up a lot of farmers muck, but when I took a photo after we got home, the bike still looks clean-ish.
