Flippin failed the restricted test again :angry2:
I was over at Spleen's place and I was about to leave to go to the AA center, only the bike wouldn't start. Quarter of an hour before I had to be there, desperately trying to get it to go, wishing I had a kickstart. Tried to get it to start by going down Spleen's driveway (fortunately it had a slight gradient which was perfect) and letting the clutch out and into gear. Then I remembered what my Dad said, you had to be in second for rolling starts, only the bike didn't allow you to go into second if the motor isn't running. Didn't want to go. Then Spleen noticed the crankcase was soaked in sump oil. Yay....
Call AA to say can't make it for the test, can it be resceduled? "Sure, so long as you pay us again" ARGHDAMMITDAMMITDAMMITDAMMIT fucking arse raping me of cash yet again
Dad arrives with the tralier and we take the bike to Whitehouse Motorcycles to get sorted. Nice guy there, said that the crankcase that we had welded up wasn't done properly and is likely to be the cause of the leaking, and we aren't quite sure whats not letting it start yet. Also I explained how the gearbox was chattering and said think it's the chain. He showed how it was worn unevenly and was tight in places and loose in others, so we're going to get that replaced too (it was due for that anyway). Also get the brakes re-bleed because they aren't like they used to be and are a bit soft.
I'm fucking cursed aren't I?
