Fully ACF'd for the winter too. Usual frisson of fear on roundabouts where the pretty sheen of spilled diesel shines across the road. Yeah diesel.....urgh The missus had a run in with a shit ton of diesel spilt on the road yesterday so much so that whilst negotiating a roundabout she had an accident due to the sheer amount of diesel that had been spilled, had the bairn in the car aswell but they are both unharmed that car buckled the n/s rear wheel and knacked the stub axle and bearing but I replaced them last night with a new axle and 4 new alloys. There was witnesses to the spin all saying she wasnt driving fast or erratic and I know exactly what happened as she entered the roundabout the car started to understeer when slight throttle was applied then when she let off the throttle to sort out the front wheels washing wide it turn in to instant snap oversteer and she hadn't encountered it before though I had warned her that this is a trait of her car but in the heat of the moment by the time she tried to counter the spin it had gone too far to recover and round it went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymwitch Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Finally got the right tyre for the 125. Chucked it on and blapped round the block and all good to go feel better now those shitty tyres are off. Just need the 400 sorting now. She's being worked on as we speak !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Rode up to Scotch Corner. The bloody snowstorm round Tewkesbury was not expected!. Made for a challenging ride and shed loads of rugged individualism unlike these poncy buggers swanning around in desert wastelands. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Tried to get it out of the garage. But the drive is an uphill slope covered in snow so that wasn't going to be a viable option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
