Well yes, I had a little break down in a place I can't remember. It was caused by a dodgy fuse terminal which was not engaged in the fuse block properly and the fuse was only making contact with it by a hairsbreadth...not so good when it's the fuse for the fuel pump.

I had the courtesy to break down right outside a pub...well close enough for me to demonstrate how macho I am by running 20 yards pushing the bike in scorchio heat and full lid and leathers up a pretty steep hill to the pub.

Now I don't know why but Ruth's snap and the ones that Keefy or Marko took (on Gizmo's server) make it look for all the world as if I just stood around drinking lager while the rest of the BHCN massive fixed my bike for me, but I'd just like to say that although there was a lot of helpful advice, a bit of massed prodding and a bit of screw twirling, I did do most of the repair work myself.

You can tell that I did the repair work because of all the bolts that were missing from the fairing when we arrived in Glenridding

Theres a few great ones of the lake and Jetty on DuN. Theres a really nice one that I fancied printing out and framing. All the time I spent there and I never actually went down there to have a proper look, I had left my camera at home though so I have to rely on other folks pics. JPM was offering me £20 to go in the water and I think it got to £50 or more if I was to dive off the jetty. They would probably still be searching the lake bed now for my body! Would probably have drowned half of Pooley bridge had I done so.

Was wondering who took that one . Actually I noticed a few other shots where someone had a good eye for a decent photo .

Good pics. Looked like a great time.

Mind you, I used to have this one in my house, got it in Ikea...

It is an amazing photo of the jetty, Ian, which I can't lay claim to, unfortunately. I think it may have been Lee.

It was p!ssing down this morning when we left - definitely had the best of the weather for RTL. It's glorious hot and sunny down here, though.

Still having trouble reducing sizes enough to fit on here, though. Scenic ones don't want to post.

That last photo, Davieravie and Steve, Founder Members of the Annual Rrraid Scortland extravaganza, date to be advised (when they've sobered up enough to remember promising to organise it)
