check

Went out for a short run of about fifteen miles yesterday just to see if all was OK. I've fitted the new pannier supports, this time the other way round with the open end of the top bracket to the rear. That way when the bungees are fitted to take my tent they wont be pulling the bracket in a way which will take it off.
The speedo seems to be working OK as the odometer was registering about the right miles, although that's pure guess work.
The oil on the left fork seems to have stopped leaking. I read a tip involving running a piece of photographic negative round the inside of the seal to dislodge any trapped grit  which seems to have worked.
All I need to do now is try to work out how many miles I get to the new tank. May be able to do that with a good run coming up next weekend to Kirby Lonsdale for the Lakes Rally.
I'm so glad I'm going to make it this year.
