Emerging

The Duck House is finally emerging from the snow which means I will finally be able to stop nail biting and see if my fix has worked...

El Monstro has been worrying me on the last two outings as the oil pressure warning light has been coming on after the engine has got up to temperature. Topping up the oil and pressure testing the system hasn't really proved conclusive so having done some reading I replaced the oil pressure sensor (apparently these are notorious for failing) and now need to check out whether this fix has worked. The good news is that the Bike is a very sweet ride, quite different from the sheer animal experience that is my S4.

New on the beast is a used seat cowl together with a black Baglux tank cover and carbon side panels, all of which suit the overall look of black grunginess which the "Dark" imparts - not a long term colour scheme by any means but the cocoon from which the eventual butterfly will emerge (OK, killer wasp).
