It's been stay at home weather in Wiltshire, been annoying the missus by getting in the way in the kitchen while she is doing the dinner. Anybody else in the country had better weather that could get out on their bike?

managed to make my way over to my dads place in hungerford, 15 mile trip averaging about 30-35, poor little DT was getting blown all over the road, struggled to make it above 40mph :(

had lots of rain in hungerford aswell, luckily i arrived just before it started and left after the worst of it

im happy to report my DT has not seized now that ive got the mixture set up a little better, but due to torrential downpours i was forced to retreat into the shed and managed do some work on my ol' Jawa today :), stripped front brakes and cleaned them out before bleeding and re-fitting, front brake pads are almost down to the metal!
