I had played with the 3 modes, maybe (rightly or not) I was too nervous of it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Well assuming tomorrow's plan goes according to schedule in the well known tourist destination of the Cabinda Enclave in Angola by next weekend I may be plotting my escape from this mighty vessel hopefully from Las Palmas. Reasonably optimistic although given the 2 epic fails so far I'm not placing any bets just yet. I'm hoping 3rd time lucky but........ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 The cunning plan is still on although somewhat delayed. We get to spend an additional 2 days in this tropical paradise. A mucky grey sea courtesy of the Congo River belching out god knows what foulness into the sea and that sea studded with oil rigs. XR and Greenpeace would not appreciate it. Turns out the cargo isn't yet ready as they are having to try and remove some of the H2S from it. Can't complain as that's nasty stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Frog Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Right then. In the hope that the hospital will let my Dad out over the weekend I have booked into a pub in Dorchester near his flat and the hospital. Because the world and his wife and dogs appear to be staying on the south coast I am certainly not using the car regardless of weather, So if anyone is down that way Sunday evening it would be nice to chat and share a beer before the torture that will be a bank holiday Monday schlep back up to the midlands. Oh I will be using the Busa as a form of anger management lol. Cheers Ian Edited August 24, 2021 by Ian Frog I am a prat ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 We're having a run to Hereford on Monday, stopping overnight in a Premier Inn, then meandering back up to Cheshire via Wales on Tuesday. Weather forecast looks good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickly Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 We’re down in the COVID Capital that is Newquay - so the weekend will be spent trying to have a fab hols while keeping others at the end of a barge pole. Weathers gonna be good, so lots of sitting around the van I think, with the odd Rattler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, yesterday I collected my wad of euros and on Tuesday the Africa Twin is having a minor service, oil and both filters (it has 2 oil filters) plus new brake fluid. It has also had a new rear tyre. A Conti trail attack, it lasted almost 8500 miles. The front is fine, but will probably need replacing at the end of the winter. 8 more night shifts to go.

So maybe I’ll give them a call 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

husoi Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Just finished my latest project Someone told me that the back of the shadow was a bit boring and "naked" so I decided to make something different. Took me a couple weeks, mainly because of the different materials delivery times. I'm very happy with the whole process. Done in polycarbonate sheets as they are virtually undestructible. Used a vinyl sticker as stencil and black spray paint. The lighting is with 3mm LED's connected to the tail light. It's made of a 2mm sheet where the tiger is painted and a 5mm sheet where I installed the LED's. The LED's are connected in series of 3 and a 2.7 kohm resistors. The rear of the 5mm sheet is sanded to reflect the light. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Frog Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) I am going back down to Dorchester to see Dad in hospital tomorrow and as I am not overfond of tank bags I decided to try a Rhinowalk tailpack and I have to say I am very impressed. A rip off of more expensive systems but I like the flexibility. Check them out and I would be interested in your opinions.
