Ok I'm not invincible, by the time I got to Buxton the water was running out the tops of my boots!!! Managed to suprise mother but hat to sit in a dressing gown till enough clothes had dried to be decent! Did the oil change and straightened the gear and brake pedals (not bad but annoying), still stair rods out there and getting dark 180 miles was getting unrealistic. So a change of plan and Tole is presently driving the Ulysses to Romford with the bike in the back and me in the front... Dry at last! The excuse being he will return with my FS-1E (Fizzy) as he has a buyer for it!
I feel like I have failed though....
