....Today headed up the coast to Barmouth to watch the annual Motocross madness on the beach.... Had to do a double take....Thought I saw Nick bringing up the rear!...



.....Tested the prototype Exhaust.....but it's a bit top heavy!....

Do you need such a big exhaust when running on LPG?

No!....but you do when you're burning wood!.....It's a woodburner!....

So it's a steam engine you've got fitted then.

...Thanks alot...Altogether we took just over 100GB of footage....That was my first little attempt of editing....It was done on a simple bit of software, already on Ruth's computer called "Window Movie Maker"....It's pretty easy to get the hang of.....Over the winter I hope to make much more of a movie with the footage we've got.....But working on that little film has already taught me so much of what I did wrong filming it......For example we didn't film every day....and there were so many events that I did not film.....I need to make the camera more accesable on the bike.,...Ruth would do some filming, then we would stop to put away the camera which got tedious when you were wanting to get in the miles....

...Having the camera on the helmet is okay if you keep you head still for prolonged periods but looking at the footage, I'm constantly moving my head!.....The chest mount I think gives the best footage whilst on the bike, but having the tent on Phil's front rack gets in the way somewhat to having a good picture.....Then there's keeping up with the battery charging!....Also because we didn't ride with other people, there's not alot of moving footage of us.....That'll have to change next time!.,...

There's times I think a steam engine would be faster!

....My bike had been cutting out on me the last few rides so I figured there was some crap in the system.....I decided to do a full overhaul....Don't ask me why but my bike was supplied with the fuel line running forward before doing a U-turn in contact with the engine fins!...



....Figured it was time to get a new OMG rear facing tap (Bloke from Welshpool on ebay obliged) and pop in a new inline filter...



....Interesting to see the distortion on a fuel filter after 20,000 miles....



...I then popped a couple of old chains into a bucket and poured (in the absence oof any engine oil) what I thought was old fork oil onto them.....then realised it was brake fluid!....

If you'd have checked after 2000 miles you'd have found the same. I have seen the same sort of distortion, but it doesn't seem to affect fuel flow.
