Sunday morning...172 miles yesterday. Weather has been great. Banter bol asks as per the norm. Temperd by the loss of Popkat, was such a shame we missed saying farewell in person.

Re: DevonStorm 2023...16 -19th June
Another 111 miles today... mahoshive downpour last 20 miles. First rain of the weekend so damp but not bothered.
Spotted this at our lunch stop. Not something you see everyday!

Home now with 700 miles for the trip, but I did go up to rahayder on the Thursday night to see cheeky kev and then from their down to Devon.
We had great weather, great roads, great company (except we didn’t have Popkat ) and a good laugh.
Thanks Mac for doing the organising.
Oh and I might have overdone the right wrist usage on the KTM by Saturday lunch time ….. I couldn’t apply more that 20% power before it made a horrible noise and I lost drive.
The internet assured me it would be my fuel pump filter blocked and not feeding the engine, but I kept describing the symptoms ans “its like the chain is jumping on the front sprocket”. I had checked the chain tension and the rear sprocket in detail, and I stick my fingers in the little gap in front of the swing arm and could feel all the teeth on the front sprocket, so I kind of thought that wasn’t the issue.
After 2 and 1/2 more days riding as gently as I could, I took the front sprocket cover off and found this.
Oops the shame

Got home safe after a 816 mile round trip. We got the sad news when we arrived about Malc, but raised several glasses in his honour.
I had a eventful but fun weekend, with plenty of banter and laughs with great company.
Thanks to Mac for organising and Al for the routes. Looking forward to next year

Re: DevonStorm 2023...16 -19th June
Will be heading back down to Devon on Sunday to say fairwell to Malc for the final time. It was just a huge shame that we missed saying it in person on the 16th...
