Part 1...

Wrynose Pass, Hardknott Pass, Birker Fell, Ulpha and the West Coast Road home...

The first problem solver……….get rid of that pitted, ratty points cover………a nice finned cover……very cool....

Whilst I was idly passing time I've been seriously considering the kick-start problem. This is the problem caused by moving the foot pegs back into the swinging arc of the kick-start. Thus.... &n...
