It's at the menders now. Airhead boxer specialist, scratching his head saying he's never seen anything like it before. Great. Thinks maybe the flywheel is dodgy. The teeth certainly are a bit rounded by now, might have to replace that anyway. I just hope it doesn't go as far as replacing the block...
Trailered the bloody thing over. First time with a trailer, that's hard work, they drag the arse end of your car all over the place.
Won't help either that it was a kinda sloppy rental trailer... Empty was even worse. Crazy washboard-like vibrations between 70 and 100 km/h. Speed limit for trailers is 90.
And ofcourse now that the bike is out of action and will be for a while, the weather's getting springy and all kinds of new parts are showing up. Meanwhile I'm going nuts commuting by train. Bollocks.
