    Leaks from the bottom of the valve of the inner tube. I didnot check pressures prior to riding. Did check the front just now, a mere 1.6 bar. I reckon the rear had the same or less, causing the tire to ever so slightly rotate on the rim. Tugging the valve until it gave way.

    Never a dull moment...... Took the MV out last night, after having fitted the new wheel bearings. I didnot -dumb, I know- check pressure on the new tyres that were fitted a few weeks ago.. Aye, the rear lost all pressure. But, with a friend with a trailer 30 minutes out I was back at my friend's place in no time and rode Gil home. Today I'll take the car over, take the wheel out and put air in. Fill the bathtub with water and look for bubbles 🙂

    That is what I thought they'd do. But due to the location (they knew my exact position) they weighed the options, based on available vehicles (and what they carry) in the area. Priority 1 was securing the area and get me off the road. Last year in France, they did come with some fuel. After me calling in twice.... the 1st attempt the guy on the othet side didnot speak English and refused to hear my poor French... 😉

    Did a "Britney" this morning... Oops I did it again Riding on a motorway, thinking I could make it to the next petrol station... Contacted the ANWB and like 10 minutes later, the directorate of public works had my spot secured Followed shortly a flatbed to take me to a petrol station near the next exit

    A "creative" restauration. The "registro storico" would refuse to register it. Only 3 "mistakes" versus OEM are allowed, but with the work done, it is a nice 150. But getting it plated in the US may pose some challenges...

    😇 duhhhh.... My VF recenty developped a very small but steady oil drip. So 1st a thorough cleanse was (over)due to see if I could spot the culprit. The usual suspects (oil plug, clutch rod seal) proved innocent. Thinking back, I remembered the last thing done was changing the collector box, so inspected "down below"... Ah! The clamps for the front headers had manky bolts, so I'd grabbed some from the "oldbitsandbobs" box... it transpired these were longer AND I'd rotated the clamps too much "in"... So (both left and right) I had been merily clamping, but pushing into the oil pan as well 🙈... The gasket then no longer was well pressured, causing the "sweat", culminating in drops. I rotated the clamps, cleaned the area put a sheet of cardboard underneath last night. Rode to the office and back today with no more oil leak.... phew! Live & Learn....

Honda to the rescue! I rummaged through the box labelled "bitskeptfrompriorbikes" and founds this VF valve cover bolt rubber!! TADAAAAAA!!!
