Sunday Morning Meldrews

So it's Meldrews Sunday again. Whether it is the time of year but there were only two of us out. 

And we were separated. We decided on The 2-Stroke Cafe at Greatstone. It was closed. 

I checked on FB and they had posted on Friday that it was closed for a leaking roof. 

Cal headed off to another cafe and I went to another one as I didn't know where he was going. 

I gave the Yamaha My Ride app a chance and it finally worked. Okay. A two mile ride in a virtual straight line shouldn't have taxed it. 

After coffee at the "End of the Line" cafe at Dungeness Light Railway station I set off for home. I tried the app again. 

After a longer ride I expected to see a full journey. No. 

As it had done last time I tested it and it effed again. Packing up after less than a mile and a half. 


I'll give it one more go... 


Update 21/10/19

Posted a question on the play store and the developers replied and suggested making some changes to the phone setup and battery settings. 

Will have to try again at the next ride out.

Crappy Finish

Have to say disappointed with the finish on my 15 Roadster. Not really an all weather rider nowadays.  Wheels are corroded and look like shit and the chrome bits and bobs all surface rusted. Have always washed down after a salty road outing. The TEX I had before had its recall problems but the finish far more robust. Never had these problems so soon even on a modern Suzuki! It doesn't seem like the wheels are coated, just bare metal by th level of corrosion.  The surface rust blights the suspension caps and even the chrome cover for the rear brake master cylinder looks more like rust with some chrome. At least the engine finish looks good.

Short Run

Just a short run today.  A week since we got back from the Somme and Pepe  needed a wash'n'brush up. I togged up and with a plasttic bottle of cleaner  bungeed on the rack I headed for the jet wash. The idea was to get the worst of the French crud off from under the engine, mudguards and if course the easy-corrode wheels that Triumph preferred to fit. The wash machine has changed and takes £1 coins and you get three minutes. There are six options from jet to wax and rinsing. In the end and £2 later it all looked good.  Ten minutes later I knew I had to do it by hand again when it was cold! At least the mud and crud was gone. As it was sunny the wax rinse dried in streaks.   I had a ride to Tesco to fill up with their 3p a litre cheaper 95 unleaded, then a tour around Folkestone to check out the football ground for the next home game and then home along the coast drive. It was some two hours later when I  went out with a  bucket and...
