    Bikini Wash

    I felt it was my duty to represent the Classic Bike Forum and report back.

    The day started off as any other, the Ducati in bits all over the floor....
    I needed a small chain retaining clip for the starter chain so as Haldanes are the nearest bike shop and they do scooters and stuff I thought I try them.
    the word 'bevel' ususally results in glazed over eyes and the line " spark plugs and oil....."
    But today Tony not only found a clip but a whole new chain
    and the faded old price of $ 25.00
    Cheers Tony
    Raced home and put it all together and in less than an hour it started

    Clutch slipping a bit and running a bit rich at under 3 k but running
    Just happened upon a bikini wash at Mt Eden Motorcycles and by coincidence the Duke was a bit dirty and oily....what luck
    As ususal did the posy kick start thing..
    Not a bad day out really.

    I'm guessing two things. Firstly that your wife wasn't on the back of the bike riding with you, and secondly that yours was the only Darmah to make an appearance at the Bikini wash today......

    heck, it was probably the only drama to make an appearance anywhere on the day, give the bloke some credit for risking it

    and thanks for representing at the bikini wash, i was going to go, but had to do the 7 hours of preventative maintenance that is required to get an old guzzi out on a run without a back up truck, or van, oh yeah, there was a back up van, lucky that
