Ducati had dead fuel pump relay, when repaired it was evident the pump itself was not long for this world!.
Got roped into replacing VRF cylinder heads this afternoon. Shimmed new head with old cams on the bench, saved faffing about. Checked clearances again when head torqued down and all good.

Penny is with us again for a few days, and Rosco was having a trial session before a week stay later this year.

Evening work: mostly Miller in a big band concert on my nearly 90-year-old trumpet.

Let's try that again...
Jasper the greyhound cross. One of my frequent flyers, it's his third stay with us.
He likes walks, but otherwise alternates happily between strokes and sleeping on the sofa.

Is he healthy otherwise ??
My friend Bill has had a few strokes and it has affected his memory a bit ...

The dog likes to be stroked. Can I report a Mod for pedantry?

They don't run very well on water!, must have pumped well over a litre of water out of it (plus 8 litres of fuel), then another 5l fresh fuel to wash it all out (painful!).
Luckily they've added an access point for the fuel supply line, and diagnostics can control fuel pump remotely.
Found the drain takeoff pipe from the fuel tank had a U bend in it so all the water collected in the filler cap tray was entering the tank when cap was opened for refuelling.
Triumphs have a similar fault, aluminium fittings for the drains corrode and block up then tank slowly fills with water.
Pulled all the excess pipe through and re-routed drain line (snipped excess off after.
At least it didn't turn into another wiring job!.

Opening the order of bike goodies; Mwahahahaaaaa...
We'd been waiting for it in the workshop for nearly a week. It turned out one of the clients had (quite sensibly) signed for it and shoved it in the office on the other end of the building, where the staff had kindly buried it...

In my case it's basically messing about with bikes and other fun things, most of which I'd do for free, but don't tell my boss...
