Dover Transport Museum

Had an early run out to the museum for the Classic Motorcycle Show.  I thought I'd combine it with another 50/50 Challenge 5E. I have the "end" photo from the previous ride-out and so I needed only to take another when I got back home.

The day was supposed to be raining and it wasn't. Another misjudgment by the Met Office! A cup of tea and a chat with a few blokes about the bikes and of course a few photos.






















And once home I took the "end" photograph..... And....  NOOOOOOO! 49 miles! No 5E today

New Battery?

The weekend showed how weak the battery has become.  Having had to use the dbPower unit on four separate occasions during the day in Belgium was the giveaway. We are in the second winter of this problem where the battery isn't strong enough to start the bike. In the summer it charges and holds that charge and although I keep the dbPower unit to hand I rarely have to use it.  But in winter it barely has the power to turn the engine over. It's simply "clunk". The lights come on though and that probably doesn't help. So what to do? Being a fair weather biker nowadays I won't be using the bike that often until the new year. Do I get a new battery sooner rather than later? It might end up freezing away in the garage. I have a garage in a block away from the house with no power, so a trickle charger is no use either. I have been looking at a replacement though.  A  Motobatt  with a high cranking power should be around £75. So unlikel...

Six years with Pepe!

Pepe's insurance was renewed for another year today. So I thought as I have owned this monster for six years it was time to bring this blog to an end and import the contents to "On the Road Again". So that it what I have done.
