Yesterday actually. Took advantage of a sunny day with no rain risk. I have not been out for many weeks and today I ached a little bit . Just shows you that a good blat out is as good as a gym session.
If it comes to it like in other countries with people being arrested for non essential travel then I will ride with my rucksack on. "looking for loos rolls officer"

"looking for loos rolls officer" Makes you fucking laugh.... can't arrest a moped stealing scumbag who is riding up and down the pavement with no helmet on, or some drug piece of shit who is breaking into hard working people houses... but they will almost certainly have the time and man power available to arrest people riding in the middle of nowhere, keeping themselves to themselves 😡😡 Should try arresting all the dickheads that feel the need to buy up all the essential supplies instead!
Id guess the screw that holds the tensioner in place?

Now at 75K, it's an excellent time to get in there! Except that my feeler gauge blades are too wide!This in turn has led to the AIS system coming off - not going back on...….Mmmm, I could do with sorting the EXUP valve as well, exhaust off. No studs sheared but the valve is BER!What's that, looks like the radiator is seeping on a bottom seam, radiator etc also off.

First picture is the before.2nd picture is after a coat of Simoniz and tapping and capping the AIS system. All going well, checked the valve clearances and none needed attention - not bad after 75K.
iam feeling a bit deflated
went to put a few PSI's in.eased the valve to one side to getcthe pressure gauge on and it started leaking. gave it a tug and it cracked.a few years old socant complain...
