The Beast has Arrived!!

The Avon Cobra rear tyre arrived today. It came from Germany.

And there I was thinking they were made in UK.

Perhaps they are and the company, Oponeo, might be based there. It's globalisation.

So Pepé is booked in Saturday week for it to go on.

Some pix.

Lots of rubber not much tread cuts....

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.
