Murph,
sounds like a great ride.
All i can say after reading your report is
ahh F#ck !
bloody Diddel asking to start early. if i had of got up and went through pre ride routine of startin car and hitchin trailer i probably would have had time for nrma to turn up fix car and still make ride. :dry:
due to the early start everything was done the night before.
its easy to look for people to blame in situations like these and unfortunately Diddel is has to cop it on this occassion. :laugh:
on your fork seals, Lotsa put me onto a trick for seal preservation.
cut up a piece of foam thin, bout 1/2 cm wide and as long as it takes to wrap around your fork leg. slightly oil the foam and jam it betwen outer fork seal protector/dustboot and inner seal. acts like an airfilter picking up dirt. take it out and wash it every couple of rides or after mudy rides. i had a leaky fork seal which he fixed with the old feeler guage and have since used this method and havent had a problem since. i used foam from the ironing board.
cheers
