Kevin comes forth!<

Having had the first warm day that also coincided with me being at the farmhouse, Kevin got filled with fuel, checked over and with about 5 good 'operations of the starting lever' KICKSstarted and after a few seconds hesitation, ran evenly.



Even better, with the advice gained for m'learned members of this forum, A change from a 250 to a 230 main jet eliminated all the 3/4 to fully open throttle kangaroo jumps, whilst after a long uphill climb, the pipes did not show any signs of over heating.



we were only due to have two good days of weather, and I hear it will probably snow here on Monday!!??!! Out we went on a tour of places that I had never visited before. I did end up Near Ornans again, and the river was quite high. Sorry, didn't gat a vid of the bike, but here is the river!








And this time of year, you can cheat your canal narrow boat past the locks without doing any work!

But I can't win. When I am in France, I miss tornado, and when in the uk, I miss Kevin!

Still they are both well loved bikes!

OK, here's what you do. ;) Swap bikes. That way when you're in France, you will no longer miss Tornado, and when you're in the UK, you will no longer miss Kevin. Easy!
