Monday saw me assessing the damage to DOT's front wheel.  Looks like the bolt holes will have to be filled in and re-machined.

Tonight's curry was at The Spinney.

 

Tuesday and I dropped DOT's wheel off for welding, then it was off to Newport in the Bongo to rescue a

CX trike which had suffered a rear axle failure   -  dropped it off in Wolverhampton.

 

Wednesday and I repaired the wind damaged awning for the Dog Kennel.

Ark Racing came and collected the A65 - it looks like they may have the correct belt this time.

 

Thursday, and despite being the best day of the year so far, I never went out.

Did manage to buy a new pair of shoes though.

 

Friday and the A65 came back home.  Time to give it a test ride then.

Just local first - all of two miles to Stone Cross and back . . . . then a 114 mile round trip to Ludlow and back.

No issues with the drive belt, but the clutch could be better.

 

Saturday and once again I take the A65 out on test.  I did managed to run out of petrol.

Sunday and it's more miles on the A65 . . . . this time the bloody gear lever fell off.

I'm tempting fate, but it looks like the drive belt issues are now fixed.
