Weathers still cold...



...and threatening snow, at the same time it is sunny today. Walking into town in a mo. so will finish this later.

Well did town and back in 40 minutes or so, can't tell exact mileage because my HTC struggles to find a GPS signal....

Saturday we are going to Chippenham to get Dan's boots back and have lunch, Sunday to Tashies for tea, so hope we don't get snowed in in Basingstoke!



Pic above comes from Sump Publishing, and on-line classic bike mag, it's pretty good. Try www.sump-publishing.co.uk.

Bought the following to get my Enfield going again: exhaust valve, head gasket, rocker gaskets x 2, head bolt washers, valve guide. Hope to get it going soon, Yamaha is un-usable due to MOT running out, too cold to take it...

Best of luck with the weather!

Snowed a tiny bit today..


..just a smidgen, covered the car and the grass but the roads are clear.

Highlight of the weekend was radio, after that had an awful time, just couldn't get on. Tried some DIY on Sunday, fences and taps, boy was it cold out.

Yamaha's due it's MOT on Thursday, depending on the weather outlook, might just leave it...

No movement on the Enfield either, need to buy the parts....

Bye.

Well........

....what can I say....

My blog has missed all of December, all of Christmas and the New Year and nearly all of January! Should I try and update it, or give up, that's a good topic for discussion...



Took the head off the Bullet a week or two ago, after a trip up to Salisbury Plain. The compression is about half what it should be, Doug reckons the exhaust valve is knackered. Need a new valve and valve guide minimum.

Yamaha would not start at work last night, flat battery. Wa rescued by a jump start from Phil at work, thank you very much. It needs an MOT on Feb 2nd, will it pass?

Just been in to town and back on foot with Andy, 4.28KM/2.65 miles in 43 minutes, approx. 3.7 mph. Trying to decide if I do some, all or none of the Saresen Trail this year...

Anyway, better go, to write more blogs or not, that I the question......
