Social Distancing Bike meeting

Post by Kryten » Tue Aug 11, 2020 1:11 pm

Went out to the North Norfolk bike club meet at the Skeyton Goat last night. Most of the others were at the pub. I was 8 miles away at the petrol station in Roughton. The Speed Trip decided to throw a Hissy Fit. Fred61 came to give me moral support!

RED Fester the Pop Up out on the road sounded good and seemed to go well.

RAC proved to be a complete waste of time! 4 hours later and still no show. Best they could offer was 2.30 in the morning. Maybe...
Told them to forget it!

Was a nice evening though....

Well with the assistance of one of the other NNMCC members, I have got the Triumph back home.
We did a quick check on it before loading it into the back of his Camper/Bike Van/Ex Salvation Army minibus (Taillift fitted). And came to the conclusion that cylinder #3 was not firing at all and #1 only intermittently. So I suspect that the new Triumph fuel lines with the larger banjo fittings have clashed with the electrical connections to the injectors.
Today was hot and sunny and Mrs Kryten was off work, so it was beach and swim in the North Sea time.
Tomorrow, it comes apart.....
