Enjoying the good stuff

Have fun Dutchy! I think Rt. 120 into Yosemite is still closed, you may have to take 140 aka El Portal into the park, a bit further south. Lots of water this year from the record snowpack, and some minor Merced River flooding, but spectacular waterfalls.

 

You're going to have a good time, enjoy.

Our agent keeps us abreast....

Sorry to hear that the VF is going to go. Are you trying to reduce the size of your garage?

Nah... just to look for another "numbah 6" 

Flying out next Sunday to SFO.

Our son will look after our house, so my bikes are secure.

"The counting was RIGGED!!!"    

Nah, I mistook posts with likes statistics or so. My bad.   That can be only one and that is Sebspeed.. HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Next week we will fly to SFO and pick up a 30ft camper for 3 weeks in support of the US economy

Do let us know if the cash box is empty and there are still liabilities (to come).

As "post Ho #2" ,

what can I say?

Thank you Miguel (and all of you). 

The grass is always greener euh shorter on the other side of the fence

As for a V35...  you should know better.........   🙂

Took the F2 of commuting duty, bringing her back to OEM for an impending sell. Deep clense, remove rack and some decals.

With the Morini not finished yet, redslut 2.0 is called into action 🙂

Dropped my a prior place of work, long since abandonned by HP.

Made it home just before the downpour commenced 

Note to self....

Donot go off roading with a (what turned out to be a dodgy) topcase and take a speedbump at speed...

Heard a noise and saw it tumble and skid in the rearview mirror...

Never leave home w/o duct tape!!

Viva Dutch Craiglist!!

€20... including a (wider) base plate

Spring is in the air once more!

Different strokes...

For just one bloke...  🤣

Any tips or <corporate speak alert> best practises on the lettering on the control pods? 

The "white lettering" on my Morini is pretty much gone.

I know how to operate the indicator switch ... but it would look nicer if it reads L and R

Them pistons may buff out prettuy well on a polishing wheel

Thesedid 

VF400F

The inside was yuck

Needs a little TLC...

And some re-stuffing...

Got the Dutch plate and with the torrential rains stopped, added the 1st 180 or so km's to the tachometer.

Bit nippy 8C°

Ive been pre-filling filters since college (let's just say a long time).  I actually learned it while working at a Pennzoil 10 Minute Oil Change.  All turbo cars had their filters pre-filled.  

 

You'd be surprised how much oil you can get in if you keep adding and letting it sit while you do the rest of the oil change.  And if you are ready and somewhat quick, no spillage.  And if so, very little and not anymore mess than you just already made anyway.

No pre-filling the oil filter/rock catcher on the Kanguro..... 🤪

A labour of love....  

Cougar was getting loud at me....

Fresh hoops on the Kanguro

Tyres were 1987 and 1992... no dry cracks but I am not chancing it 🙂

Fresh DOT, took the chocolat drink out..

Some rattlecan for the heatshields

Trusted German manufacturer;

had H&B on my Beemer mid 1980's 

4 celsius, no problem
