TOG down. Bollocks.

Fwiw, I've done exactly the same. Those vacuum/fuel hoses are too short
on Trophies. In the end I replaced mine with ones a god few inches
longer to make the job easier.

Still, you're ok, you broke your duck and in a few months all will be
well with the world again. At least in time for the French run

 

Actually, I've run over the events in my mind, and I relaise that I
*did* have the fuel tap the correct way round. But the vacuum hose was
definitely kinked, and I was switching the thing onto Prime when it
happened. The Trophy farts and misses for an age when running onto
reserve, and Prime just seems to get it firing properly quicker.

I thing the hose must have been near to kinking and then kinked entirely
on a bump or something. So not properly routed anyway. As you say, it's
a bit of a bugger to get right.

 

She's a clever and perceptive lady, your missus?

maybe looking in the back of his garage wouldn't be a good idea...

Yep. Oh, and "give you a tenner for the biket".

It is bloody slippery out there at present.

 

We've got too much junk in there to squeeze an extra body in.

This week has been a no grip zone for me. It has got so bad I am even
tempted to have a look to see if the tyre pressures are close enough or
if the bearing have actually collapsed yet.

Only tempted mind, I wouldn't want to be called a safety nazi.

 

Too bloody right. There's enough of that about as it is.

Silly sod. Glad you're ok.

 

You're the man with the local knowledge when it comes to bodies under
patios.

 

....and have a couple of months off work. Which happened to be at just the
right time.

 

While you're fossicking around under the tank, remember to clear out the
little filters in the T-pieces between the carbs.

 

That would presuppose TOG being more intelligent than The Doctor.

 

Never even knew such a beastie existed. I will, ta.

 

You ain't keeping up here, are you?

I've bought all the bits - you're right, they were a horrifying price,
like over £600. But I'm not claiming.

With excess and loss of NCB and a loaded premium afterwards, it's not
worth it for that sort of money. If it had been over a grand, I probably
would have.

 

That's what you said last time.

Oops. TOG, perhaps you need to ask your GP about prescribing some of these:

But, of course, you'll tell your ins.co about the accident even though
you didn't claim...

 

I suspect it would count if it was reported.

Regarding the difference between this and dropping a bike when cleaning
it, well... Since insurance prices are set to reflect the risk that the
ins.co are exposing themselves to, I'd suggest that there's less risk
from a clumsy slip than there is from, say, a half-blind bloke, slowly
losing his marbles, being distracted and while fumbling for something
failing to see what's going on around him...
