Ardingly environmental woes

Post by ajscomboman »

Word has it that an environmental clean up team was almost needed to clean up an oil slick trail left by a certain ex President on his run to Ardingly Show. Also reported was a serious lack of electric current to lights etc etc. Rumour had it that the reliability of DVR regulators was once again about to be questioned. That was until it was noticed that the dynamo was trying to make a break for it but was kept captive by the 2 wires! Unfortunately the same can't be said for the dynamo draw stud or the shouldered nut and the cork oil seal..... :rofl: :rofl:

And he had the cheek to wonder where all the oil was leaking from!!!!!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

That bike has to make 2000 miles plus to Poland and back in a matter of weeks but hasn't managed more than 150 without something coming adrift.. :shock: :shock:

I cannot understand the oil leak so unlike the ex-president's bikes and this one is clockwork.

Now back home but only just Dynamo stayed in place but sopped charging 5 miles from home. You can trace our route home :x what a waste of fresh oil.

Have you never been on a Essex run?. We can never trace our route back as the oil soaks up all the breadcrumbs ;)

Hope you are not planning on passing through Paris on your way to Poland, their latest polution regs mean you would probably be guillotined :beer:

There was a mention about that today but we may use a van to get through Paris.
