Rode an acquisition home down the A9. Heavy rain/hail showers, Force 6 winds, 12°C max, with a non-freeing clutch, a weeping fork seal, knicker elastic connecting the back wheel to the gearbox and an improbable lump at the base of the tank! Topped off by a fouling "barn door" up front
To add insult to injury, we then had to navigate a 3 car pile up at the 'House of Bruar' [impatience when trying to join the A9!
] followed by a 2 mile queue up to a lorry into the central reservation on the dual carriageway A9 south of Pitlochry, because it appeared, he had to get past the 44 tonne trunker before the roadworks cones made it a single lane! Dunkopf!
Have spent the evening trawling through fleabay etc trying to find bits and info on XT600E motors and SRX3VN body parts. I will likely be posting in other parts of the site for info, bits and dire warnings! Maybe I should break the sow's ear!
OH! The contents of the sump looked like treacle!
Good night all, Bill
