Sorry mate. Only just picked this up 3.5 hours after you posted it. Hope you got it sorted.

Thanks for another great day out. Nice photos Russ. My bike became increasingly more noisy on the way home - even for a DRZ! Checked oil when home and managed to put 2 litres in. In other words it was empty! Hope I haven't f****d it. Seems OK now - hopefully it's just a case of having taken a few years off its life!

Well today was my first time out with an ABR group and although I didn't start until lunchtime, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you to the "Big Bike" gang for letting me join you on my "minnow" and a special thanks to TomsDad for leading us round and putting me on the right road to get home.

Here here Pinball, first time for me today too - and that's my excuse for dropping the GSA on a perfectly flat but very muddy track :whistle: - thanks to Darren and Bob for helping me get her back up again!! (thumbs)

Got it sorted, but wasted an hour and a half waiting on a ten min job I could have done easily with the right tools!!
