FX: Makes clucking noises re Chimay

FFS. Thanks to riding some 'sportier' bikes I've managed to mess myself
up rather well so I doubt I'll be able to ride the 400/4 to Chimay, even
if I found the key.

The K *should* be fixed today (hopefully) so I may still go if I feel I
can handle that bike.

Can someone please turn up Global Warming a notch as these old bones
don't seem to be able to take this relatively cool and wet thing we
think of as 'summer'?

Apparently Birmingham is about to get 2 months rain in 1 day, with
torrential rain, storms and flooding forecast until later tonight.

Makes me feel slightly better for binning Chimay, but I see the forecast
for tomorrow in Charleroi has improved somewhat. Ho hum.

*Nice*. That'll be a proper English summer then.

Yeah, noticed that. One reason I'm kinda glad I was only leaving
tomorrow morning.

It's on the way having just passed through Aylesbury in your general
direction. Enjoy.

Pity - would have been good fun to have two turbos there.

The weather was lovely, btw.

Yeh, I can see from the pics it looked ok when you got there. I really
wouldn't have liked the trip down to Dover on the Friday though. Glad
everybody got back ok.

Btw, that TPS and throttle body part got re-listed on ebay - went for
over 100 quid last night!

Wow!

Mine is running really well after the adjustment I made (tho it's
burning a lot of fuel!). But, you're welcome to borrow my TPS to see
if it makes a difference to yours.

If I'd made it on Thursday night I would have dragged you by those long
greasy locks. Couldn't stop on Friday unfortunately as those feckin' M25
roadworks held me up badly.
