I had to go home at lunch time today because I had forgot to bring certain birthday cards to work with me which really need to be posted today.
I got as far as a the St Neots bypass before the familar old kangroo jumps from the bike told me that I was really pushing my luck and should have refilled 10 miles ago.
Anyway, this time I knew I was getting low on fuel so I was waiting for it and at the first jump I managed to reach around under my leg and switch the fuel over to the reservse tank while still moving and more importantly while the engine was still running so that the fuel line didn't dry up which means I didn't need to wait for 2 minutes for the fuel from the reserve to filter through the system and so I was able to continue riding without any delay - yay me.
On the down side, my clutch is starting to slip quite badly, I should have too much trouble getting to sussex for christmas but to/from Yorkshire might a interesting test of my ability to ride very very very smoothly. It certainly isn't going to last until April which is when I had planned on getting the clutch replaced so I guess I am going to have to get the bike booked in for just some time in January and get the short service done at the same time which is a bit of a shame because I was hoping to do the short a service myself to save a bit of money.
