Mood: st2......we can rebuild
must agree with mr ford
best racing ive seen, great day out. and pete you were an inspiration to watch, mad plumber turns into hyperactive spanner man.

as for the bhc ride
that fordie magic could have been usefull on the way home after the st decided it dont like my misses
it's never given me any probs in 16,000 miles stick her on the back and all hell breaks loose
it first played up just before we got to cadwell as the temp rose to around 205 F and the oil light started to flicker.
quick check showed oil levels o.k etc, so put it down to old oil/or sender unit
as the bike was also getting quite hot, i think now that the oil had had it(as nelly suggested it might be)
then on the way home first fuel stop the alarm wont stop going off and then she won't turn over, managed to bump it with the boys givin i a push.
then home ward bound.
stopede at a nice pub on the way back, got off the bike and sure enough the alarm is going off every 20 seconds.
eventually with keefy b's help got the damn thing in to service mode and hid her at the back of the car park cause it keeps beeping every 10 seconds to remind you that its knackerd.
quick pint another bump start and then final leg home.


track down alarm fault and fix 40 mins
oil change 20 mins
filter change 5 mins
getting fairing on and off with them stupid siezed up badly designed flipping well nuts(and yes i do grease them) best part of 4 hrs

the alarm problem was a broken live feed from the battery
