Looks like the side stand is hitting the No2 exhaust pipe and there's a drain hose incorrectly routed if that's staining on the same pipe. Best remedy both of those before they become a bigger problem.

Ever visited Carsington Water near Matlock Bath? recommend it, really nice. Take yer trunks and have a go at paddle boarding  ;D ;D

Just been and checked and stand isn't touching and I can't get it to no matter how hard I wiggle ( it obviously had at one point as there was a tiny dent - but this looks old) ........ rerouted a rogue drain pipe :)

Carsington is lovely but I don't think I need to inflict me in trucks attempting paddle boarding !!!  ;D

Thanks

Fishpond pub. My lad works there. Were you out earlier on the week too in the area as saw a 500 and said to my wife it was exactly like mine was..?
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Come over here the water is a steady 38 deg in the fish ponds! Its like walking into a warm bath!

Makes netting at night really rather pleasant. It beats netting in the UK, where you generally ahve two pairs of tracksuit bottoms on, a couple of t shirts, a hoody a cap and a dry suit and neoprene gloves. Generally in the ice!!

Dont mind it somuch over here, shorts, vest and a pair of crocs.................Nice ;D

Last 2 Saturdays was still good weather here, took my oldest last weekend and CB yesterday - by chance there was a very good photographer nerby (lady!)
Weather is unusually (compare to last years) bad, cold.. hope for some better days still this year!

That’s great pics Erny, Especially the one on the CB. Yes what can we say about the weather. Been generally a poor summer here, September actually been one of the best months until now, broken a bit now but not quite ready to put the classics into hibernation yet.
