Persy & The Beast..ride
Posted: Thu Jun 10, 2010 6:37 pm
Hi all.
Well, After getting used to Persy me and Paull got round to meeting up in his hometown, Midhurst.
Petworth and Midhurst are neighbouring historical market towns, 6 miles between them.
So not far to travel then.
As I was waiting for Paull to turn up, what happens? Oil leaking out the bottom, about 2 egg cups, what a great start this is.
Anyway, rode back following the Beast (Don't worry Paull, I won't tell them your 500 dies at the lights..) back for a cuppa........after that......no leaks.
Looks like it sealed its self once warm. Will need to order that gasket though.
We had a spin through the local country lanes then back to mine for coffee.
Sorry no pics but was great to see both 350 and 500 sitting on my drive.
So that's a first for me and Persy to meet up with a fellow MT'er.
Nice chap is Paul, makes a nice cuppa and happy to lend a hand...love the HD Sportser!
We mentioned about meeting up with some other southern local Mt'ers, so how about it.
I know there's one in Horsham.
Look forward to the next ride!
Cheers,
Keith
