The 2nd Great UKMOC Teddy Bears Picnic. - Page 4

Presuming it was main oil seal which was leaking after the tunnel run heat and got replaced soon after but until I strip it I don't know for sure.

Nothing much on the right side of the engine was dry, it went in quite spectacular fashion at some speed

Dirty · 06-09-2015, 03:50 PM

And I knew nothing about it at the time. If it wasn't for Ursa's friend seeing the large smoke cloud and stopping the first I'd have know would have been the engine detonating or the bike disappearing from under me as I turned a fast right. Quite possibly saved my life, definitely saved my bike!

Dirty · 06-09-2015, 03:54 PM

But the trick in life is always look for the upside!

Albie · 06-09-2015, 05:07 PM

Oh mate that's another engine out job. Still you can sort soon. Hopefully done no damage.

06-09-2015, 05:22 PM

Yeah it was spectacular, Zoe spotted it in her mirrors, and flagged Dirty down, and as soon as the bike stopped there was a big puddle of oil.

At least we brought you cake Dirty, and held an annexe meeting at the side of the road!

And of course Zoe kindly ferried me there and back after Edna's fork seal went too.

Great run out and a nice meeting! And an impressive selection of bears too.

Darren69 · 06-09-2015, 05:44 PM

I'd definitely be fitting a hugger too if I were you ! Lucky, very lucky.

Mr Gazza · 06-09-2015, 06:36 PM

Dirty....I think you've blown a Seal.

Darren69 · 06-09-2015, 06:42 PM

Messy, I hope you put plenty of concrete dust down

slob · 06-09-2015, 07:54 PM

let me know if i can help... after belgium ;-)

Mr Gazza · 06-09-2015, 08:04 PM

What a fantastic meet again!...Great weather, what a surprise..

Just to prove that we had Gingham, Cake and bears.

Old freinds and new faces all together in the Sun having fun

I'll try and remember whose bikes these are from the front to the back.
Brin's all carbon 1100.
Rocker66's M900Sie.
Creamy Sapone's S4.
Capo's S4.
My M900Sie.
DirtyDodger's 696?
Zoe's 'Blade...Naughty, but nice.
Hit and Miss's '96 M900....With Bear clinging to the tank..
Dac's M750
Utopia's M750

...And I must have missed some? but we also had an ST4 and a couple of other Ducatis arrived when Zoe, Ursa, Sapone and I chased off down the A11 to take Dirty some cake.

So rude of me to leave the party and sorry that so many had left before I got back. But the thought of him all on his lonesome by the side of the road was too much.

Happily most of the Norfolk Tricolore cake had been demolished when we returned, and we got to enjoy some of Jeff's delicious Italian tea cakes.

Brilliant to see everybody and thanks for a great day out.....The Picnic will return..

Don't need to take the engine out if it's the clutch seal. I would like to know why it blew though.

Thank Zoe again for me, and thanks for the cake, I was starving!

Nah, A hugger would have just been another part I need to clean oil off!

I knew there was something else I should add to my little tool kit!

Most of the oil dumped off the road luckily. If there was any on the A11 neither I nor the recovery man seemed too keen to walk against the traffic to look for it!

Am not sure the pics will work, am new to the dark arts of putting pics on here, there's the cake annexe meeting at the side of the road, with Dirty getting his birthday cable from Mr Gazza, and the selection of bears. I can't seem to get the pic of Dirty's incontinent bike to load.

09-09-2015, 07:14 PM

Oh and I forgot to say I have temporary custody of Dirty's bear, Ted Biker, who is currently hanging out with Stefan Bradl's Beaver.
Dirty says he doesn't want him back, and I am at "peak bear" in my flat!

With the exception of Dirty's clutch episode, I had a grand day.
It began with the realisation that the setup of the remote preload adjuster on my Nitron shock was just about perfect since, with a lightish pillion on board and about 80% of extra preload, the bike handled just as instinctively as it does solo.
Also, I've been tending to go just a tad too quickly lately, and it can spoil a nice ride. This time I pegged it back just a fraction and had a much more pleasant ride (though still quick at times).
Had to pull over fairly early as we passed a gorgeous, Baines Special 750, stopped and run out of fuel at the side of the road. This bike was bloody luverly. kinda reminiscent of the old 750S bevel twins of the 70s, which were the inspiration for my monster obsession. I exchanged details with the owner, lest he should think of selling it (which he said he might).
The weather was beautiful and the roads were minor ....heaven.
Gazza,s tricolore cake was very fine, and I think the Italian Cream Teas (mascarpone instead of clotted cream) worked ok too.....I could make a habit of those.
Company was excellent, with old acquaintances furthered and new ones made.
And a ride home into the sun, setting orange over the fens.

Thanks for organising, Gazza.
A very pleasant day.
